    Not seen anything about this last few days but not a good look for the club at all to be taking money from a bank that has been involved in transactions with terrorist organisations.

    This all happened before we signed them which is even more surprising as suggest lfc didn’t do any due diligence?

    If it's only an accusation, it'll be hard to get rid of them before the contract expires.

    In the end it's a bank and it processes transactions through swift just the same as banks handling Russian money.

    They will be dealt with accordingly

    Up to the club to sort **** like this out, not really something I'm interested in.

    Its already been dealt with and they paid a huge fine . They did breach US sanction law but even if they hadn't they would still have paid up or the Yanks will in effect block them from
    the international financial system .

    So fsg need to get shut when they can. They've deep pockets as a bank but are they really the highest bidder?

    We will see next time round.

    Some of the reporting seems to wish to equate us with funding terrorism

    If Standard and Chartered is giving us money they can't be giving that same money to terrorists. By us using them as a sponsor we're saving the world from terrorism.
