Business is business, but when you don’t hear anything from the club from August to January, the issue becomes tricky.” During the first proposal, there used to be a lengthy period of doing nothing. We’re not machines, you know. “You can’t wait months with so much ambiguity regarding your future.” Obviously, no one saw the sanctions coming. But in the end, other large clubs were expressing interest, and I had to make a choice. I’ll leave it at that since, other from business, I have nothing terrible to say about this club.”
