When a senior pundit comes out and rubbishes a rumour, you take notice. When that senior pundit is a friend and the ghostwriter of a book on the individual in question, the opinion gains even further authority.
After spending too many hours today looking into the whole ‘Return Of The Poch debacle, it became pretty obvious that a story from the Sun was essentially hijacked. A response from one credible source in France, plus Balague’s comments firmly suggest to me that PSG might have a teensy case for being tapped up, or far more likely, the entire tale was fictional.
To be blunt, I know Daniel Levy is in a tight spot, but I really don’t see him causing chaos with a club he’s done plenty of business with, but incurring a tapping-up charge. PSG were aligned with Tottenham in the whole Europa Conference League shenanigans. It doesn’t make an iota of sense, no matter which way one looks at it.
