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

[Centurions]

Bollocks

No, it's singular, so just the one.

 

[hello]

Language doesn’t work like that.

You can’t just translate a word on Google Translate and assume the meaning is identical in another language given absolutely zero context.

“Concrete” being a good example. It’s a building product. In English it also means “robust” but it could well have a different meaning in other languages.

In some Spanish speaking countries “huevos” means “eggs” but also means “testicles”. My bet is if you type “huevos” in to Google Translate, it won’t come out with “bollocks” ;-)

And I am saying a lawyer that speaks 5 languages doesn't answer questions in a 6th he doesn't speak when talking to international media representing an international organisations with the ceo off accidentally and even leave himself open to mis-translation bollocks. Therefore until proven otherwise hes a lying twat in regard to his latest contradictory piece that goes against his December 2018 interview in a big way.

Are you saying a non-native English speaker will never use a word that sounds the same, but have a different meaning in English? If you google-translate "konkret" from Norwegian to Slovenian you get "konkretno".

 

[shevtheblue]

this was an earlier effort can you link the latest or does that count as feeding the enemy?

I've clicked on it twice, probably not worth giving the prick any more traffic. It's bollocks.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

David Conn is back with another brilliant piece on how FFP would stop Bury's demise. Mental, he's non-stop.

Except it didn’t....

 

[jimbo101]

Total bollocks
Bury failed precisely because the owner (who was a twat) didn’t have any money to put in

it has been proven that FFP on its current guise would have given a pass to Leeds and Portsmouth in the years leading up to their collapse.

 

[David Kloppesh]

Actual quotes that were said in Slovak and mistranslated in to English. A Slovak speaker was on here a few months ago saying it was a mistranslation.

I think it's rather Slovenian not Slovak, although pretty similar languages.

He's saying FFP is needed because the owner might run out of money and then the team will be in trouble. Nothing to do with the fact that debt is what put Bury in trouble.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Ffp is already in place. If it was designed in any way to promote fair play or to protect clubs financially it might have had a chance of saving clubs like Bury.
Conn would do better by writing about what Ffp is really there for.

But he's too much of a cnut to do that.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

If FFP didn't exist maybe Bury would have gotten an owner that was actually willing to invest

 

[David Kloppesh]

A certain City legend is not going to be happy upon receiving this news.

Well, I could have been more specific, or concrete hehe, yaya is used for balls, as in having balls, not so much for bollocks.

Debt - exactly
I wonder who pressured UEFA to drop debt from its FFP calculations pretty much from day 1
Isn’t it assured that an owner is prevented from putting £100m of his own cash into a business but is effectively rewarded for borrowing £100m

I thought there wasn't FFP at League 1/League 2 levels.

This is why it is stupid, the Glazers ultimately financed United through borrowed money although obviously United make a profit.

FFP would not protect them though had it backfired and gone tits up as it did at Leeds and many others.

If FFP was there to protect clubs then also why would you punish them with a £30m fine and chuck them out of their main earner, the CL?

Imagine if Bury had been hit with a £30m fine for going insolvent, hardly helps does it!

 

[HelloCity]

Poor Villa could fail the PL FFP criteria if they don’t offset those losses in the next couple of seasons.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer set of fans.

 

[WRicko]

Delany says our statement of denial is wrong because we are not accused of breaking FFP but of misleading investigators but our statement talk of financial irregularities the irregularities are how we are alleged to have mislead investigators and also we are accused of breaking FFP once you take out the irregularities. Can anyone make sense of what he says ?

 

[Manx Blue]

Avocado also means testicle. Just sayin.

In Spanish?

 

[Chris in London]

Whatever you type into google translate it comes out as bollocks

Shame, relegation should hit them even harder.
