“As they walked out, someone came and introduced themselves. She introduced herself as Amanda Staveley and was a Liverpool supporter.”

“In that conversation, she said as the person responsible for bringing the Abu Dhabi family to Manchester City. I also asked why she did not bring them to Liverpool?”
