I'm not sure how this proves it was Arsenal mate?
Cross has good connections at Arsenal, but also at Liverpool, and the Mirror is very well connected in Liverpool/Manchester.
Arsenal do not turn over enough money for it to be them. If it's not Liverpool, it's most like to be United in my view.
However I wouldn't become too bogged down on the team. All of the top 6 are in serious trouble if this has any degree of truth to it. It shows sponsors are essentially withholding payments. That's the context of this story.
Look at it another way, if its Arsenal, what state must Liverpool and Spurs be in who actually went to furlough in March where Arsenal didint?
