Combination of Cucurella references, Potter already having good stock for being a manager and a known release clause all probably helped.
I do agree that I’m surprised it was all signed & sealed over a dinner with Potter. Potter strikes me as the type to want to know a lot about plans...
If you think that we need to look at Barbers behaviour given before any of this he has been one of the most engaged with Boehly, sat next to him at the dinner he held etc
But I think it’s all just unfortunate rather than any conspiracy or insider job
