ok folks ... just received a call from a well placed source in the City camp.
Reason for the delay is that no one thought about taking a travel iron with them.
When they unpacked them, due to the material used by Nike, there were an unbelievable amount of creases in the shirts. With no travel iron handy, they were forced to call on the hotels housekeeping department to iron the shirts.
This has further increased the delay because, due to the fact the whole housekeeping department is full of Hispanic and Latino workers, they have refused, because they are fans of their hometown club, United, they feel God would punish them..
