“Although they [CAF] have now started to give clarity, so I don’t want to comment on it until maybe Friday. We are exchanging communication at the moment so I don’t want to comment until I get the final comment from them.
“That’s why I’m saying we are in discussion with them. They are just talking to us at the moment. They are making clarity.
“They have made some payments but we are not sure what those payments are for. So that’s why I don’t want to comment until they have clarified all of that over the next two, three days.”
