Quite possibly but my understanding is that every club gets a share based on their seeding, therefore as we were the English Champions we get a larger cut than the dippers regardless of how far either team goes.Are these figures correct ?
"City earned more than £80m ($104m/€96m) when they reached the quarter-finals last season while Liverpool made £110m ($143m/€132m) for winning the Champions League."
Must. Avoid. Temptation...I've done 3 in the last 3 days. Bolt From The Blue is my usual home, I did Ian Cheeseman's Forever Blue on Sunday, where we mainly talked about home game issues but I did a 10-minute vlog beforehand on this, and I've just come off the Man City Show. All are always worth listening to.
It likely won’t be thrown out at CAS.
The fight will be after it when we go into an actual court.
CAS is just the first step because that is the process after a sporting judgment.
I expect the club don’t believe they will see this thrown out at CAS
You missed out: Abramovich is a white European, Mansour is a filthy arab.So I've posted a while ago about why Chelsea aren't treated the way City are. I think it boils down to three things:
1) Unbelievably I think the biggest factor was during Chelsea's initial rise from 03-07 Ferguson was still going strong at United. All fears of dominant newcomers could be put to one side knowing that the 'great Fergie' would be the last bastion of justice and stand up to the mean upstarts. His successes in 07-09 sealed that opinion. A lot of the anti-City talk went into hyperbole from around 2014, after Ferguson had retired. If it weren't for Klopp now winning it with Liverpool the anti-City rhetoric I reckon would have been even worse, as crazy as that might seem, as the fears of domination would have been far more real.
2) Chelsea never looked as looming as City did. Sure they spent money on players and on their academy, but City built an entire state of the art new training and academy complex, expanded the stadium, developed a singular style of play through ALL of the teams, set up the CFG, and have developed much better financially all things considered, on top of hiring the most significant manager of the past 20 years. I reckon there's more here too.
3) And finally, Chelsea hadn't been the moneybags team for too long before City got money. And City got money that blew Chelsea's money out of the water. And those initial 3 or 4 years after Chelsea's spending had already slowed down made City a far more terrifying threat to the elite than Chelsea with big transfer outlays going up until 2011. Why fight both City and Chelsea?
Chelsea still get a rough time in the press, although Lampard's presence has slowed it down. It's just nobody is afraid of them so the vitriol is kept to a low. I do recall a Chelsea supporting friend of mine getting bothered during their last title win under Conte as he felt the media was trying to unsettle and undermine the players and the manager the whole time, although that's just his opinion.
Well you must have seen this as you liked it.
Ignore @squirtyflower he's got a downer on middle class people to the extent where he struggles to get to the bar to get a round in...I am really struggling to understand why you have a problem with my post - you claimed "here is another middle class white man talking to an audience of 99% middle class white men and women. I believe Syed to be racist as well as a cheat and I’m looking forward to asking him some questions"
You are clearly wrong about him being a white man (he may well be middle class). Claiming that you would attend an event that he was speaking at and ask him pointed questions about his views on race when you are mistaken about his ethnic origin concerned me. I thought that I was doing you a favour and sparing you from a potentially embarrassing situation.
Surely the club should believe that CAS will throw it out if they have irrefutable evidence!! If it’s not , I doubt any penalty will be suspended just because we want to take it to court
Their revenue is that, their cash reserves aren’t though. 90% of their revenue goes out to clubs for CL payments.

Sections of the media today are falling behind the FFP rules are wrong, Neville, Spitty Scouse, Talk sport etc..
Maybe we have sent a few shots across the bow of the media about the one sided reporting so far?
Plus under their rules and regulations they can't reopen a case that is 5 or more years old and seeing as this is from 2014 they've broke their own rules.
I really don't think they've thought this accusation through.
Is Tyler the ‘independent’ one on account of the fact that it might be Niall Quinn?

I've met rocks with more brains than Simon Jordan. How he ran a football club into administration we all know.

I’m no expert but I doubt any sanction would be imposed when a court could overrule that decision.Surely the club should believe that CAS will throw it out if they have irrefutable evidence!! If it’s not , I doubt any penalty will be suspended just because we want to take it to court
I have been on a bit of a downer the last couple of days.Starting to feel a bit more optimistic.
What will be will be.Fuck it.
I am hoping for the best,but if not.....
Worst case scenario is 2 years out of a corrupt competition we nearly all fucking hate anyway.
We face a short period of transition anyway,it will likely take 3,4, transfer windows to get the right players in for more Title challenges in the future.Saying we wont attract good players is a load of bollocks,players like Vinny,David Silva came to us with no guarantees. The rest is history.
We know Leroy wants out there is £100 000 000,Sterling blows hot a cold,and might want out to Spain or Italy where he can be racially abused every weekend.
Could be wrong but i see KDB staying no matter what.Future Captain i hope.
Kun will stay with us until he needs a walking stick,legend.
Plastics will disappear from the Stadium (for a short while anyway).We all hate those bastards with Cameras and half,and half scarves.
Extremely unlikely, but even if we we were relegated,we would take it all in our stride.We eat adversity for Breakfast,we would turn our away travels in to a huge 1 season bender.
No matter what the future we will still be there,City is our life.We pulled in 30,000 fans in the old second division,it was astonishing.When Newcastle went the same way they struggle pulling in fans.
