I've watched seemingly credible posts claiming the Palace wasn't able to comply with regulations due to factors specific to their side... perhaps these posts were bullshit.
So, teams from smaller countries should be exempt from participating in European competition because you can't be arsed to learn a little geography?
Indeed.
I wouldn't mind a Thursday night cup run.
It’s probably not bullshit, more the perspective or sympathy of the posters. The UEFA compliance date is the same each year, it wasn’t a secret. There might have been reasons, such as the financial problems at Lyon, that made it difficult for Testor to get rid of one club or the other, but the fact undisputed is he didn’t. I don’t care for UEFA anymore than any city fan, but they are not responsible if an owner gets himself into a jam with multi club ownership. We managed to structure it correctly, likewise Forest and the various Red Bull clubs. CAS have dismissed the appeal totally, referencing Testor’s ‘decisive control’ at both clubs.
This all day so fuck em.
Wasn't Susannah Reid doing exactly that a year or two back?
Going on the wording of the judgement, I'd say no. Textor needed to get rid of one of the clubs by the assessment date. He didn't do it. Is it tough on the players and fans? I suppose you can say it is. But they know where to look if they want to find out who's to blame. Of course, social media has exploded with the "B-b-b-but, what about Citeh?" agenda. If those fools can't spend 30 seconds on Google to find the, er, "massive" differences in the cases, not least the burden of proof, I'm not going to get involved in futile arguments with those clowns.
They cocked up. And hoped the "what about City" vibes would let them get away with it.
£15m Chelsea got last year.
Amen, Blue.
You want to fuck parish each to their own ;)
