I think there was also some business with Chiellini sending WhatsApps to teammates advising them to agree to accept reduced salaries due to COVID but they were going to be paid off the books and a similar sort of thing with monies owed to Ronaldo, all seeming to be at the behest of Fabio and Agnelli

Maybe the start date being after the verdict gives them an out. The last I remember about this case it seemed certain there were going to be convictions to some extent, as some incriminating wire taps were leaked iirc. I doubt anyone will go to jail but had assumed all involved were done in football

Interesting, I thought there was a good chance Paratici would be convicted with this. I wonder if Spurs have got wind of the outcome in advance like when our owner suddenly transferred his shares to a trust before his criminal conviction would have led to him failing the Premier League owners test.

There were 2 separate investigations; one he received a ban for, and the other is still ongoing. The ongoing prisma case relates to criminal charges of fraud (false accounting, misleading investors) and obstructing justice. Prosecutors seeking jail time as far as I remember

"As early as 1933, the Nazi Party began enacting laws that allowed for the relocation of homeless individuals to concentration camps. In 1938, a nationwide raid targeted "asocials," including homeless people, beggars, and the "work-shy," with many being sent to camps like Dachau"

His business model is quid pro quo. He's had several periods of carpet bomb promotional campaigns for both Mason Greenwood and Thomas Partey at times when their reputations required laundering. His longstanding "arrangements" with the likes of Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo & Paratici are quite clear

If they want Frank to be successful, why put him in a position to be compared starkly to his predecessor - arguably one of the most charismatic and motivational orators on the planet. Those are going to be a problem for him if results are poor at the start. They need to focus on his strengths imo.

And c.) her department already has the authority to release most of the 300gb of evidence with redactions at any point now but are choosing not to do so.

From what I understand they know a.) Trump is not mentioned in the grand jury testimony as this would have been briefed to the WH in 2019 during the prosecution of Epstein as Trump was president at the time, and b.) they know a judge will not unseal these documents so can blame the judge.

For further context, this is more than the annual cost of our literal club record signing Dom Solanke (amortised fee 55m, reported wages 75k) which is just over £13m. The latest installment of the board throwing money at manager churn rather than on the area that correlates with on field success
