Leaders lead.
That's assuming someone actually checked on AC.
Now, I am no believer in the Spanish sports pages - they make up stories about football transfers all the time (as an United fan, I'm well versed in those Marca rubbish). But let us examine what appears to have happened.
- Team Bus left with the rest of the early starters
- Assistants & cars were supposed to be left for AC
- LA took these assistants and cars for himself
That's the gist of it, according to the Spanish press.
