How much were Milan fined for this agreement. ?

How much were Milan fined for this agreement. ?

Not a penny as far as I can see. Indeed, to the contrary, it gives them time to balance the books. Sensible in my opinion.

If this was us would we have been allowed to ‘withdraw’? Rhetorical question.

Maybe it sets a useful precedent for us?
We could offer to voluntarily withdraw from the Europa league for the 2019/20 season as a settlement!

I'm assuming nothing further will be said about this? Mes que un club and all that.

This does look shady but in 2014 we invented an entire football club and loaned one of their midfielders just to fill a squad space for a season... and we mostly continue to do that for our own profit... so.

Can you explain that please.

Can you explain that please.

We founded New York City and immediately loaned Lampard from them. We saved ourselves a tonne of money and got a useful squad player for a season. It wasn't the same as this Barca / Valencia agreement but it's fishy enough for UEFA to come sniffing, and as far as we're all aware they haven't done yet. My point is that it's hard for us to take the moral high-ground in this instance when we've exploited loopholes for our own gain in similar ways.

For example, we've bought players from football clubs we own before loaning them out to raise their value and profit from their eventual transfers. We've attempted this (or something similar) with Luke Brattan, Aaron Mooy, Anthony Caceres, Mix Diskerud, Jack Harrison, Eirik Johansen, David Villa, Angelino, Shay Facey, and Yangel Herrera. The loophole exists so we've exploited it, but that doesn't stop it from being shady.

So you believe we created NY City just to get Lampard for a year?
Utter bollocks!

Sod off Rag.

But that was done all out in the open. So how can it be called shady ?

... No, that's not what I think. We created New York City and then loaned Lampard from them.

I see! Anyone who doesn't have lovely, positive things to say about City is a "Rag".
