Mehmet Dalman on "appalling" lack of action over Emiliano Sala tragedy.

[The Hooded Claw]

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?
Crikey.

Isn't it from Harry Harris' book?

"After failing to convince Fifa to do that, they are determined to exhaust their legal options before paying a fee Dalman said in the recently released book The Killing of Emiliano Sala would put them at risk of “bankruptcy” following relegation from the Premier League"

That's a ludicrous statement to make - if indeed Dalman actually said it. If it were Coventry City, or any number of clubs in the bottom 2 divisions, fair enough, but no-one would find that credible from a Championship club who received £42.5 million in parachute payments this season..
