It’s concerning that Dalman is quoted as saying that the club faces bankruptcy if the fee has to be paid, raising numerous questions, including:
- does this mean that the club has no insurance?
- have they not set aside the money in case this is what happened?
- why did the club spend in the summer if its finances are that precarious?
- what’s happened to all the Premier League money, given that the transfer and wages spend last year was very small in comparison to other clubs?
