UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

Exactly. But they didn’t buy him in the same summer that they bought Neymar as suggested in the article. There’s fuck-all wrong with PSG loaning him with an obligation to buy and loads of clubs do it.

The loan with obligation to buy is usually dependent on playing so many games or scoring goals etc.

Think this one was basically, if he turns up for training every 3 weeks, we'll have to buy him. So a disquised deferred payment purchase

Nah, clubs do this kind of thing all the time when they don’t have the budget to buy the player there and then. PSG couldn’t afford to buy both in the same window as they genuinely would’ve had FFP issues, but buying him in the next financial year was doable, so they got him on loan with an obligation to buy. They didn’t break any rules by doing it this way AFAIK.

Samuel mentioned it a few weeks ago but there’s never anything in depth

New thread now running on General Football Matters re: Vested Interests on Football Governing Bodies.

They had to qualify for the CL iirc. Perfectly legal reason to defer the cost into the following year with a note to the accounts.

This has popped up on Twitter, no idea if it's accurate, or why they'd tell Bayern Munich as well (could possibly guess,) but the OP seems kosher unless his account has been hacked.



Edit: reading his later post, it does appear it's an educated guess. Mods, please delete if this is thought to be bollocks.

This makes no sense, nothing to do with BM surely...?

Agree, see my post edit above. Think the guys making an (un)educated guess...

It doesn't even make any sense anyway, it's a mishmash of different stories.

There is only one way for UEFA to get out of this rod they have made for their own back. That is to come out and say that MCFC has no case to answer and that their will be no further investigations into the matter of breaking FFP regulations. This matter is now closed for good. However having spent a lot of time on this matter, they will not wish to come out of this looking like a bunch of fools. I am sorry to tell them, that they are all ready looking like a bunch of fools. There is no one in their right mind would do any investigation based on someone who has done some hacking. As soon as they received these e-mails they should have asked MCFC is there any truth in this matter, and wait for our reply.

So they decided to do an investigation without any checks being done to see if these e-mails are genuine or not, and if the information is true. Afterall all they had to do was to go to companies house where they would have been able to look up our financial details. Yes they would have had to pay a fee to have look at those financial details. Surely that would not have been that hard to do. So that by combing through our accounts, they would found out in a few days if we had breached FFP rules or not. To me this looks like they are really struggling to find something against us, they want to ban us but can't find anything to ban us for breaching the rules of FFP.

It really looks like to me, that they will hope that if they delay in giving their decision everybody will just forget about it and then they will come out with the decision and say nothing to answer. They will know that with are army of lawyers we could well bankrupt UEFA in the courts, if there is just any hint that their decision was based on just these unproven e-mails. I just wonder when we will finally find out about their decision about our breaching FFP.

I saw this and retweeted it. Not sure why uefa would tell Dave birty before anyone else
