...what the film lacks is inventiveness, as it continuously resorts to clichés. In a recurring image, Campanella shows a woman’s hand on the side of a window of a moving train and, of course, a tear in her eyes as she tries to hold onto her lover’s hand through the glass. The atmosphere is so sappy that one might find oneself wishing she could just fall into the tracks...

While the group, known as the Red Knights, is unlikely to make an offer before the end of the current season - the club, for its part, insists it's not for sale - the extent of support...
