When though? You can 'inform' someone without them being aware of it. They probably told his lawyers while he was out of contact in the TV studio. If he was told personally earlier in the day, why haven't the club released a statement confirming this?
When and where did they say that?! I must have missed it. As far as I'm aware, they said he was told "today". Which could have been any point in the day - possibly a minute before they released the statement.
