Anyone thinking the Mullock article on certain teams match fixing is a shot over the bows for the same clubs from us?

Had the season progressed as planned, we would have been plying Liverpool next weekend and the PR campaign against them by City would have been starting about now. Might be coincidence of course but maybe we're sticking to the timetable.

That would be something to brighten my days

They get liquidated and we plow their stadiums into the dirt.

They get liquidated and we plow their stadiums into the dirt.

And then plow salt into the dirt/earth,so that nothing can ever grow there again. Like the Romans did to Carthage.

I like your way of thinking.

If that is the case then it could be quite good, since there’s absolutely no football news on at the minute, a nice scandal or two for those ****s could be just what the doctor ordered

Someone should let Gundogan know about this PR campaign unless it's a German clarkie!

Might have gotten the story from someone on twitter

Hypocrites. They even let Bruce Rioch spend £7m on David Platt.

Kept quiet for years that Ozil was the highest paid player in Britain on £315k a week.

It was less than two years ago Wenger was offering £91m for Thomas Lemar.

Asharvin, Giroud, Reyes (Rip), Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang, all massive bench setting fees of the period.

Hypocrites indeed. The great Tony Adams says Wenger would not have enjoyed the success they had without the investment of diamond dealer, the late Danny Fiszman.
Vieira, Anelka, Henry et al would not have been there either.

The UK's realationship with the EU has nothing at all to do with this matter. TfEU was in no way a European imposition but is rather a statement of commercial law as it existed in western European capitalist, free market economies at the time. Ever since 1945 at least every free economy in Europe has seen investment and competition as the only way to reconstruction and prosperity. British airlines were fined massively for acting as a cartel to force Freddy Laker out of business in the 1960s and attempts to prevent investment have always been illegal. TfEU simply stated clearly and unambiguously that these anti competitive practices were, as they had been for many years, unlawful throughout the EU, including those new members from the old Soviet bloc. The ECJ will be no more sympathetic to UEFA and the cartel than our courts, or vice versa after this year.

Someone asked the question, do we have to abide by EU Law in respect to football once we leave. I'd say hell yes.

Yes, that crossed my mind too. I hope so.

This is much closer to the mark than the post by@Jam Tomorrow.
1. FFP was invented to stop Chelsea, or at least inspired by their activity. Abramovich, however, got in under the wire. We followed soon after but were caught by it before we had completed our new built side.
2. Platini intended to stop debt being used to create an advantage but G14 refused to play ball. MANU, Arsenal, Barca, Real were big debtors at the time. The P&L based version was largely invented in the Real boardroom and Platini just had to swallow it or G14 would have set up their own Eurocomp.
3 Gross debt still rising. Manu, Barca, Real still lead the way. For political and social reasons the debts of the Spanish clubs will never be called in, but Manu is a different proposition. Uefa report net debt, which relies on some doubtful asset values, so Barca and Real are not in net debt. Current gross debt of these three is approx £2bn.

1/ FFP couldn’t go ahead unless Chelsea agreed to it. Chelsea for some years refused to sign up. Then city popped up and Chelsea signed up and FFP became a thing.

No mate, they’re not that respectable.
Their shirt sponsors are convicted money launderers who persistently facilitate finances for various criminals and rogue states and have a long history of doing so.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I would be surprised if we were seen to be ring leaders

I’ve no idea.
How do you feel about it though, as a supporter, assuming it is true and Arsenal backed it?

Disappointed. We shouldn’t get involved in something so self serving.
