that wasn't atleti's website, it was their English (speaking) supporters club websiteDamocles said:Falastur said:I was following this closely at the time. Disappointed to say that in my mind it's a 99% call that it was media speculation with no basis all along. Atletico have been pretty good about talking about the other deals they've made with the partner clubs mentioned in the said article yet they never mentioned us after all. That said, I checked it out a few weeks back and they still haven't got another European partner IIRC - or at least, not a major one.
Still, unlikely anything will happen IMO.
This is untrue, it was reported on Athletico's website at the time. Bunch of comments from people on there whinging at becoming what they thought was a feeder club (they weren't under this agreement, it's a shared scouting deal)
