Weird never seems to be an issue for American sponsors for American owned clubs. Must be because they aren't all related to each other and look the same...True but something Newcastle could look at ? Trying to stop Newcastle from having sponsorship from the owners country
Cases against FFP have tended to argue that the aim of the regulations is to prevent smaller clubs being able to compete and this is very hard to prove since it would mean proving that the governing body of European football was administering the game in the interests of a handful of clubs with large revenues. It appears that a stronger challenge could be based on the argument that, whatever the intention of the regulations, their consequence was a reduction in the number of clubs able to compete. It must be pointed out here that your post places the burden of proof on UEFA, which must prove that the regulations must be necessary to protect competition and I think they would struggle to do this. I notice that Leicester competed for a CL place last season and the season before, after actually winning the title in 2016. In the close season Rodgers had no money for new players and had to sell to avoid falling foul of FFP. This time Leicester were relegated. I should be interested in hearing UEFA's lawyers demonstrate how FFP was necessary for competition.Sport has exception from EU competition rules, provided they can demonstrate it is necessary for competition.
The case mounted by a group of supporters clubs, including ours, finally went to the ECJ who ruled that our case had no merit. UEFA claimed that was that.Cases against FFP have tended to argue that the aim of the regulations is to prevent smaller clubs being able to compete and this is very hard to prove since it would mean proving that the governing body of European football was administering the game in the interests of a handful of clubs with large revenues.

Have they not immediately called for the glazers to sell after the final,they can’t admit that the truth of it all is it’s not the fucking glazers it’s just they can’t take the fact they are no longer top dogs and bullying other teams and getting their way,the glazers is an easy excuse to beat with the stick,by right these cnuts should be challenging for the title next season for sure with the money they have and will spend,but you can bet the media will keep using transition if they stumble along the way agai,fuck off you horrible shitstain cnuts …Loved Uniteds 115 banner today. The only whipped it out when they knew they were going to lose.
Up the Glazers you cunts.
Their whole club are bullies. It started at the top with Fergie then filtered down to their fans. They never imagined little City would knock them from their perch. These are unreal times for us and they’re suffering.Have they not immediately called for the glazers to sell after the final,they can’t admit that the truth of it all is it’s not the fucking glazers it’s just they can’t take the fact they are no longer top dogs and bullying other teams and getting their way,the glazers is an easy excuse to beat with the stick,by right these cnuts should be challenging for the title next season for sure with the money they have and will spend,but you can bet the media will keep using transition if they stumble along the way agai,fuck off you horrible shitstain cnuts …
There’s an irony in the fact that it was baconface who knocked the red scousers off their perch,now it’s City and Guardiola knocking these cnuts off their’s and hopefully keeping our foot on their throat as well ..Their whole club are bullies.

Great points you make which set me thinking about rule breaks we could make against the PL.I have read several comments from rags and a number of "neutrals" arguing that City might only "do the treble" because of our disgraceful cheating and serial violation of financial regulations to protect the integrity of the competitions. We are a "disgusting" club which will be totally discredited when the verdict is announced. No-one is pointing out that these regulations were not in force in the 90s and if they ad been the rags would have failed them every year between 1986 and 1995 OR they could not have bought a team capable of winning anything. But then Gill and co were allowed to save football from kamikaze spending ...
AbuDhabi has been central in funding and management to over 30 major developments in UK from offshore wind farms to high street refurbishment.Great points you make which set me thinking about rule breaks we could make against the PL.
Our historical battle with the PL started when our main owner bought City. Just looking through threads on BM forum over all those years gives us repetitive examples of injustice both on and off the field so that even with the use of VAR we have been shafted.
They have scraped the barrel to allege 151 examples of a rule break that concerns investment.
May I suggest that there are many rules in their ever changing handbook that are directly targeted at us and some of them are only to be observed by City it would seem.
Analysis of these rule changes over the years and their reasoning may give trends that show that we ha been victimized and yet we still conquered despite their unfair treatment.
Yesterday's game was a typical example of years of on field unfairness.
No doubt we will see outrage in the media when our owner and his Country invest with the UK Government.
Thanks for that KS.AbuDhabi has been central in funding and management to over 30 major developments in UK from offshore wind farms to high street refurbishment.
Haha, didn't see that. Once we send the PL pricks and their trumped-up allegations packing, we should have the Etihad big screen ticking down the 115, same as the '43 years' in 2012...Loved Uniteds 115 banner today. The only whipped it out when they knew they were going to lose.

The other problem the PL have is that for the first time the value of overseas TV rights are now beginning to outstrip those of the domestic TV rights.The PL will have a huge dilemma if we win the UCL. They are saying that the team leading their 'product' at the top of the European football pyramid shouldn't be there. That's a major PR own goal. This team could be representing the PL at major World & European games next season. The PL needs to decide if they want to carry on being the lapdog of the istry teams or do they want to promote the best asset they currently have.
The Crown owns the land over which the wind farms sit and are due rent therefrom. Thus the gov has accepted Abudhabi investment. NB THE KING GETS A RAKE OFF.Thanks for that KS.
As far as I know (which is not much) no Gov or Council has been criticised for accepting our owners funding with this tainted oil money?
I wonder if King Charles will be a character witness if Sheikh M is convicted by the PL appointed Panel of over investing in the best football team in the UK?The Crown owns the land over which the wind farms sit and are due rent therefrom. Thus the gov has accepted Abudhabi investment. NB THE KING GETS A RAKE
