With the opposition having issues of their own owing to a disgraceful attack on players at their training facility by described ‘radical fans’. This has created issues of its own with players abandoning the club and cancelling their contracts. Since then further players have issued notices of intention to break their own contracts and there is a financial knock on effect from that, purely in transfer fees alone.
With that being their position at the moment, responses to the arranged friendly from fans has been tongue-in-cheek at worst, but mostly probably genuine questions given the current confusion.
11 v 8 lol

After Athletico last year, I'm quite disappointed by this friendly, especially considering the mess that club is in.
