Do you think they needed to change because they still needed clicks rather than relying totally for finance on written informed pieces?
Maybe the journos themselves have been told they must generate income?

The IC leaked that they were recommending a ban of a season so the surprise was the AC imposing 2 seasons Some ITKs Sam Lee, for one, reported that the club expected no banDon’t shoot the messenger. I was only passing on what I heard. In any case, pretty much everyone on here didn’t want to entertain the idea that we’d get a ban and therefore it came as a shock to so many whereas to me it didn’t.
Anyway smart arse - the point of the post was that the club weren’t blindsided and must’ve known a ban was incoming.

The NYT article from May 13th which was the main leak, said a recommended ban of at least 1 year.

I just looked at FC Sion again, & their grief started with fielding ineligible players, & after being warned about it, they did it again. They went to the civil court & won their case, but UEFA & FIFA increased their sanction because of the ongoing breaches.I'm not saying the case are similar. I'm just saying there can be consequences when contesting UEFA/FIFA out of CAS as the other poster said.
I still hope City will go all the way and win because FFP is a joke.
If I can draw an analogy..... It's like City going to court trying to overturn the offside rule, because we don't agree with it. What it has to do with a court is beyond me, but Competition law, is competition law.
We can't just decide we want to start driving at 50mph, when the speed limit is 30mph. The law is the law. Our situation is completely different to FC Sion.

Sorry, but I don't agree with that analogy!
Speed limits... it's not a case of us wanting to drive at 50mph when the speed limit is 30mph... it's almost the opposite – it's more a case of the speed limit being 50mph, but UEFA are restricting us to travel at 30mph... legally we are, and should be, allowed to travel at 50mph if we want!
The offside rule is a rule – a rule of a game that has to be abided by for anybody participating in said game... FFP is a law imposed by UEFA, which has to abide by external laws... for example, in the past there have been rules saying black people couldn't sit on certain seats of buses, or women were not allowed in certain parts of clubs etc. – these 'rules' have since been rightly abolished because they are illegal – as is restricting a businesses trade. Organisations can set any rule they like, but it has to abide by law... look at the outcome of the Bosman trial.

Each writer signed up was supposedly told they needed to acquire so many hits, clicks and followers within a certain time period.
Don't know how true that is, but they have paid out a lot in salaries and need to get it back.

That was always going to end well...Each writer signed up was supposedly told they needed to acquire so many hits, clicks and followers within a certain time period.

No.. the plan is to fuck us up completely. For us to lose pep and all our best players and to set us back 12 years. And they’ll be hoping that ADUG decide it’s not worth the hassle and sell up
And literally multi-millions nay Billions go out of the game, due to their total ineptness and corruptness ….. FOOK EM !!

FFP is not a law, but it's a rule of the competition.

Purely from memory but I think Sammy Lee said at the time it was his opinion only and not from inside knowledge?The IC leaked that they were recommending a ban of a season so the surprise was the AC imposing 2 seasons Some ITKs Sam Lee, for one, reported that the club expected no ban
