CAS judgement: UEFA ban overturned, City exonerated (report out p603)

It will never stop.

Too much money at stake for the clubs we have disposed from their comfy cash cow competitions and free runs at players they where guaranteed to get.
Chelsea being taken over is going to make the stories even more relentless. I bet that scrawny neck **** Henry and the Glazers have already had meetings with him.

Yep, the American influence grows ever stronger and their business model, the complete opposite of what our is means the attacks will continue as they are desperate for us to go away.
 
Depends what context this statement was made. Anyone would leave a company on principle if the company had lied to them and they considered it a betrayal of trust. Not read the story but they could ask the same question of all other profession football managers and get the same answer.

They were very selective in reporting this. He then went on to say "...but I believe them 100%." That puts a completely different spin on it.
 
The unanswered questions are why USA investors are:
1 so keen to buy English Football Clubs?
2 what is in for them and their plans?
3 why are they not subject to the same degree of scrutiny as those investing from other countries?

American sports are run on a different basis to other parts of the world as they prefer a closed shop, franchise, protectionist model. We know the answers but on what basis was the Burnley take-over allowed? No questions asked yet City being investigated by the PL for who knows what on what basis?

The obvious answer would be that the media and PL are being influenced. FIFA and UEFA officials have been convicted of payola style bribes so why would not the richest league in the world not be subjects to the same esxposure?

Corruption - in football! Surely you jest?
 
I’m not well up on the finances of other clubs and maybe it’s just me being abit thick, but..
How do Chelsea get away with Roman pumping money into the club via ‘loans’?

Yup ... salary caps and other Yank influences will grow and grow.
The shite they have there, the ott bolleux and 'drafts' etc will become part of our 'soccer"...

An English word that was invented to distinguish football from Rugby Football.

Don't blame the yanks for it lol
 
What also just occurred to me is what exactly the PL are looking at? Their financial rules are very different to UEFA's FFP rules and merely concern looking at losses, which are allowed to total £105m over 3 years. I think these rules only came into force in the 2015/16 season. The only thing I can think of that they're looking at is whether we would have broken their rules (not UEFA's) if sponsorship was artificially inflated. We know it wasn't so I struggle to see how they'll come up with any charges unless they have a smoking gun that UEFA/CAS didn't have.
Wasn't there something to do with licensing and UEFA competitions. Ie we have to provide accurate financial information to the EPL who then submit us for a champs league place or something?
 
It is normally a mature product or business with high market share but little or no growth.
Completely correct, that's what a cash cow is in business terms. I expect that the fan you responded to was thinking of what the Glazers hve done to Man Utd.
