[Stoned Rose]

I lurve the people that own/run us

‘We are not going to go away’.

I fucking love that.

What's interesting, PSG are on the Cartel's side this time.

If the UAE are behind it they'll be against it.

It's an increasingly weird group of teams as it goes on in that list.

Where's the Liverpool signature? On the next page?

They are current ECA executive board members.

And Dinho can play until he's 60 anyway.

Lol, doubt he'll make it that far but Gundogan could take over that position with Foden or Manu Garcia playing more in the advanced position, or Luis could get his work permit etc etc. It's not the end of the world.

Always been part of it, one of the founding members of G14.

Der Spiegel are allegedly about to realease a mountain of emails on Utd which will rock the football world.

Wait and see I suppose

I don't think anything about United is going to rock any kind of world.
Best they might get is some kind of tax avoidance, so what, they're all at it.

If somebody has hacked the emails that went between the old G14 and UEFA back around the time FFPR got twisted, that would make for some very interesting legal questions.

Would they have been communicating that way?
Would have thought sit down around a table

Nah, far too complex, there would have been documents going back and forth with potential formats and models etc. Good chance of catching a narrative. Good chance UEFA wanted a paper trail as well so they could dump it on the clubs if it went tits up.

I'm liking your thoughts here Aguero.

FFP is, as we all know, a connived set of rules designed to hinder, not promote investment in football.
If Pinto has dug anything like some juicy correspondence between say Gill, the Milan boys, Barca, UEFA etc. then the whole FFP bollocks will be massively under pressure to be binned.

However, it would be even better if Pinto found evidence of United bribing referees!
Yeah, that would be really nice.

Maybe we should start a thread on potential United misdemeanours in the football leaks papers.

We'd be here forever.

I have this vision of them sat round a big old table wearing hoods (clan style), there are burning torches on the walls and naked women are bringing them drinks in gold goblets...





*Disclaimer: The naked women bringing drinks appears in a lot of my thoughts so may not be accurate

Still piss and wind imo. I believe this will amount to nothing.

But it will be quicker, more robust, but possibly with the same outcome as Merseyside Police's attempts at finding anyone who attacked the City coach. But even if there is no case to answer, I suspect that the money-grubbing porcines at Uefa will want a £50m payout. Not guilty, m'lud, but with costs.

If we hit the transfer ban for summer and january transfer window, it´s not ideal situation considering next season ,but it would make us sign even harder in 2020 summer.Let´s just hope it doesn´t drive Pep away, he has full trust in team ,but this case could affect his thinking.

Pep has already said he's staying unless sacked

He has ,but you can´t take anything for granted in football, we see players signing contract extensions and 2 months later changing teams etc.

Cheers Ken,do you think we should give BFS a call? just in case,like?

He'd look and be a complete knob if he left because we couldn't make any signings for a year. Pretty certain he wouldn't and isn't though.

Spat going on on twitter with Stuart Brennan on the subject now, Castles involved.
