I think this allegation of unpaid players at Liege is the get-out the PL need really. It's a clear cut matter of fact: either Hayden is lying or mistaken and the players have been paid on time at all times, in which case it is an easy thing for 777 to prove, or they have failed to pay players elsewhere and that should be an instant disqualification for owning us.
Give them 24 hours to prove they made payroll and if they can't veto. It's that simple. Then at least we can move on, and if there's any blowback on them the PL can state, rightly, it was impossible to approve them given the evidence.
