This is pretty interesting, someone in Portugal is leaking documents from football clubs to shed some light on dodgy financial dealings. The article focuses on third party ownership, specifically Twente's (ridiculous) deal with a company called Doyen where Doyen got paid even if Twente rejected offers for the players Doyen had an interest in.
The story also involves Sporting, and of course, Sporting being Sporting...
Anyway, read the story. There's some interesting stuff in there.

Bruno de Carvalho, the president of Sporting, denounced Football Leaks in an interview with Expresso ... He also suggested Football Leaks was acting on behalf of Sporting’s archrival, Benfica, describing it as “a tremendous coincidence” that the website had published only what he considered to be irrelevant information about Benfica’s business dealings.
