UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Look who is back

La Liga President, Javier Tebas: “A sanction needs to be imposed. I know Manchester City's figures, where their income comes from and that figures don’t add up, if we take into account the market figure. So I think that some kind of penalty needs to be imposed.”

“Uefa have dealt with some FFP cases the right way and they should be congratulated. But there are two specific cases, Manchester City and PSG, which are not being dealt with correctly. When we have clubs being financed by states, this causes inflation.”

Take him to court for defamation/libel. 1) it will shut the fucker up. 2) if we win he's finished.

Surely though, in all seriousness, it’s about time we shut the cûnt up once and for all. It’s just not acceptable that he comes out with this shit and our legal team should finally get their act together and issue him with some form of writ.

He needs to be specific otherwise he's going to land himself in hot water.

The transfer spending topic over Pep's management shows that Man Utd's spending is about to surpass City's - does Mr Tebas have anything to say about that, or the wage bills of Barcelona or Real Madrid?

I like his comment that City's case is not being dealt with correctly. Another indication that UEFA investigation is going to to have an acceptable outcome for us

He's been at it for years, it's an orchestrated campaign, can't be that difficult to prove.

 

[bry the guy]

Give Liverpool a 30 point deduction for there part.

We threatened him with legal action in 2017 but didn't follow-up. Not sure why.

Depends whether it's verbal, in which case it's slander, or written (or some other form of permanent communication), in which case it's libel. The distinction is important as to bring a successful action for slander you have to prove that the words have been damaging to you. So if someone said something untrue about you and it directly led to you losing your business or a large chuck of income, you could sue for slander. That restriction doesn't apply to libel so if he's written an article that claims we're cheats and have falsified our income, then regardless of any financial or other impact on us, we could potentially sue. He could however mount a defence on the basis that, due to the articles in Der Spiegel or other information he was aware of, he honestly believed we were guilty of these things.

Tebas is a fascist and I think our legal department should dig up some dirt. How La Liga ever thought this guy should represent them I have no idea.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

They’ll go after their own, don’t worry about that. In fact just ask Lance.

No, they will not when Coca Cola and Mc Donalds tried to get Addidas to put out of the WC they refused, and within a month the Yanks had accused the golden boy of German football Beckenbauer of corruption?, I never did find out the outcome? but it was a message, the Yanks own football what they want they get

What a surprise.

We each have our own view bud, but imho I think in the US the authorities, like the FBI for example, in general are less swayed by status than some of the institutions in Europe and elsewhere. Ultimately in this case, we’ll have to wait & see.

The FIFA stuff all kicked off with the FBI because CONMEBOL were based out of Miami. Once a crime is committed in the states the FBI give themselves authority to take that investigation global. The actual crime was taking bribes from South American TV companies for world cup rights. I can't see any scenario where the FBI become involved in UEFA's dealings.

The crime was wire fraud, which involves passing illicit money through the US banking system, which pretty well ever transaction does pass through at some point. Or even an email, which is intending to defraud someone or encourage someone commit a crime.

Let's imagine a scenario whereby FSG paid someone, in dollars, or emailed someone from Boston instructing them to hack into our systems or work for us and get information from the inside. The FBI could certainly get involved.

Are you talking about the scouting hack or another hack in relation to FFP?

To be honest I don't really get the last few pages and people looking for evidence of a campaign. I thought it was fairly public that Bayern (Rummimegge) Liverpool (Henry) and the big Spanish 2 (through Tebas) were openly pushing for sanctions against City, the first 2 in the early days of FFP and Tebas pretty much 24/7 365.

 

[Metalartin]

I wonder what it would take for the press to talk of American owners as enemies of football rather than Qatari or UAE owners.

I wonder how rags and scousers would handle that.

The biggest problem the media present is that they act as mouthpieces for interested parties. Not just about City but in almost everything they put out. Most reporters rarely criticize or express their own judgment. In this case, I'm sure City's and UEFA's auditors will be surprised to learn that City's figures don't add up. The market value can only be applied to contracts between what are considered to be related parties and I'm sure UEFA will be grateful to Mr Tebas for pointing out to them that they got their valuations completely wrong. But the good news for UEFA is that they only got them wrong in City's case. The guys a complete twat and it should be made clear in the report of his comments that he's chatting shit as they say and not for the first time.

And the UAE are reliant on the States for defence, makes me wonder if the reason why we haven't come out guns blazing is because of the politics involved.

 

[jrb]

Does he know bia legal sources or illegal sources?

Tebas unfortunately is a very powerful man, with very powerful connections and friends within football and politics, who is determined to destroy City. ( and PSG)

While turning a blind eye to Real and Barcelona.

Tebas.
