An excellent article by Martin Samuel, written 2 years ago, casting fierce opprobrium on UEFA & FFP.

Honestly I don't care for all the "FFP is bollocks" pieces because while it's true, ultimately it doesn't matter.

If the club believed FFP was illegal or unsporting then it should have challenged it in court at some point over the last 10 years. You can't just say you're abiding by rules and then claim they're bullshit if you get caught breaking them.

The club needs to prove its innocence within the existing rules because they've agreed to them. If they want to dismantle FFP afterwards and think they can and litigate it, that's the time for discussing FFP's merits and flaws.

I also don't think it really helps the club when the only positive articles are essentially arguments that have the premise of "Yes they broke the rules, but..."
 
The law is weird but who in their right mind would bet against City.

As ESPN said...this isn’t Wigan UEFA are taking on.

The more I read the more confident I am. Looking forward to it all now.

Was just about to say exactly the same mate, once you wade past the piss, wind and bluster of the vindictive media and actually start reading the thoughts and responses of highly qualified legal experts, it's clear we have a fuckin VERY good case here !

Isn’t that partly the point here, in the sense that UEFA know this, and were probably reluctant to go through with issuing the ban, but have had their arms twisted by the red/protectionist elements.
 
Fucking hell. Read this back when the hallucigens wear off. Embarrassing post.
Why embarrasing post. Its true. Why do you thin pl gove lots of money to clubsrelegated so they can afford keeping revenue and pay salaries so they can get promoted back to pl. Is that fair for orher clubs trying to get promoted to pl. It is financial doping. Look whats in spain. Rm and barca getsmost of the money involved in la liga. Why ??

“financial doping”? What blue ever comes out with phrases like that? Is this Arsene Wenger in disguise? @B\connellblue
