At midnight last night, club sources strongly believed they would be given the verdict on the Lucas Paqueta hearing sometime today (Friday)

Multiple sources later confirmed that information, but Friday has come and gone, and now, as we enter the evening, an announcement is unlikely to be made today.

It appears the FA has yet again let Paqueta, his club and the supporters down once more by making us all wait.

When Claret and Hugh checked in today with a club source, we were told: “I think supporters will find out 24 hrs later, but you never know with the FA”

I will be surprised if the FA comms team will work this weekend, so a weekend announcement seems out of character for them.

We now face the prospect that this will run into next week as the FA continue to bungle the whole process from start to end.

I hope they prove me wrong and make a statement later tonight.
