A query from Len 'the non conformist of Neasden' Rum.
If Sheikh Mansour is deemed not to be a related party to Etihad then under FFP he cannot provide funds to Etihad for them to subsequently sponsor City?
So such a practice would be against FFP rules but the problem for UEFA is proving it?
Yes but the emails don’t say Mansour will pay the extra. It says His Excellency. Which is his brother, the Emir.
 
We have lived through the dark times of shite players, numerous shite managers and shite chairman whilst our neighbours won trophies galore

And we were everyone’s second team

Give me winning trophies, with the best players, best manager and best owners any time

Whilst hated by all
I feel as a fanbase we don't deserve the shit we are getting but the club and us come as a package

Cheers.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
PS Could this be why City are so bullish?
The Sheikh's brother has no business relationship to City and therefore if he has put any funds into Etihad this is nothing to do with FFP.

We have the best team in the land, time to show we have the lawyers to match.

Uefa will not know what's hit them after we have finished and as others have said we should have adopted this approach the first time they came after us. Unfortunately, whatever happens our image has been tarnished and we will always be viewed as big bad City who cheated and cooked their books.
 
Surely we can throw out FFP if we go to court? We will have lots of arguments regarding how previous clubs operated and how can it be a bad thing if an owner want to invest. Just curious where this all goes.
 
I don't think the context of "inflated" where FFP is concerned, has anything to with anything other than fair market value. So it has nothing to do with what UEFA think Etihad can afford, it's if they feel we wouldn't be able to to get the same deal elsewhere and UEFA already said that's not the case from what we've heard.

Also fair market value would only be relevant if Etihad were a related party and they have not established that link. An unrelated party can pay whatever they feel the deal is worth to them. If Etihad aren't related but Sheikh Mansour has been paying them directly for our sponsorship, the problem isn't inflation but deception/not disclosing things they legally have to. Which I don't think is happening given what City have said.
