Dan Palami To Sue Weiler?

Seems like the Azkals are starting to bite back.

Azkals manager Dan Palami is said to be considering filing charges against German Paul Weiler, who has been alleging that Azkal players Neil Etheridge, Simon Greatwich, Jason Sabio and Anton del Rosario raped a woman in Palami's house.

Charges may finally be filed but it might be against Weiler.
