Several Italian clubs are in the same boat as Lazio with no money nad not able to pay what they owe. I say treat them the same as what they did to Palace. If they go out of business like Fiorentina did then tough, will help my other team Man U and the other British clubs do better in Europe as well.
Gotcha......

As Man Utd are a PLC, I would have thought that they would press hard for the money that is owed, normally a PLC does not mess about with customers who owe money, having said that, it is £12 million, which I doubt anyone can afford to lose.
