Surely, after everything that happened last summer, that we wouldn't have just left it?!

There was an Athletic article by Paul Taylor at the time saying that we had complied again (although it didn't officially state how).

Blind trust is none binding now and is not acceptable to UEFA any more.

Now there are other workarounds.

Involving bulging brown envelopes?

Not sure about that SM.

I was thinking more along the lines of shared scouting being dissolved (Edu) and the removal of certain board members.

Was the big man in attendance? Or is he still tied up by family and business matters?

It was Oly vs. Panathanaikos today too so wonder if he was at that.

I can image running a shipping business in these current times is quite demanding at the moment.

The Athletic have done a piece today which reckons we did do the blind trust move in time to comply.

Blind trust is no longer acceptable to UEFA.

I can't confirm exactly what we have done instead though.

It'd be ineptitude off the scale if we missed the deadline. I can't believe the Big Man would have allowed that happen. Not after what happened last season.

Miltos has been back on the scene recently.
