Had an article in the works on this for weeks (hopefully out in coming weeks (the downside of being freelance)). Agree that lack of coverage (in front pages too) is an issue. It's so directly related to a high-profile club and by extension their group of clubs that football shouldn't ignore it.

BBC said nothing
