In the Der Spiegel articles they talked about us having to make up a shortfall on 2013 due to the cost of sacking Mancini & his coaches. At that time we were still under the impression that we could scrape in under the rules in Annex XI covering certain wages paid in 2012. So we asked if we could bring forward payments due from the AD sponsors and we did.
UEFA then changed their rules about how that should be calculated and we couldn't use that provision anymore. Had we known that at the time then we wouldn't have needed to do that.
So if that's what Ziegler is referring to, then surely it isn't an issue as UEFA would've been aware at the time?
