They’re always investigating us, so it’s not exactly insider information.

They’ve even taken it in to matches this season!

Conn talking bollocks again.

It’s still all U€FA, you dissembling toe-rag.

Let’s have some comment about PSG/U€FA governance instead of dissing City every day.

 

[Parisian]

I have nothing against your club or fans, but your chairman.... I don't remember AD buying the WC, a tournament that is going to fuck the football calendar for two years. I don't remember AD buying a seat on the uefa executive committee. I don't remember AD sponsoring many of the cartel clubs to gain influence.

Ofc he bought the WC and the Athletics. You don't get to organize this without buying it. It is only more obvious because Qatar is more exotic. It has been proven Germany, South Africa, Brazil before paid for it. Qatar manages to bid for a summer WC and turned it inot a winter WC. It is too hilarious not to think they bought it.

Then, how did he buy the UEFA executive committee seat ? He has to be elected by the clubs, not UEFA. So he bought all the clubs and they kept quiet ? And this place has only become vacant because Arsenal CEO left for Milan AC (there can't be two representatives from the same football association and Juventus chairman had already a seat). Did he pay Gazidis so that he goes to Milan in order to get the seat ? There is nothing to prove that unless your intimate belief.

Who is Nasser sponsoring to gain influence ? Qatar is on bad term with Barça. Qatar sponsors Roma (hardly a cartel club), Bayern (cartel club), FIFA, Boca and PSG. This is some influence they have got from sponsoring those clubs ! Meanwhile Emirates from Dubaï is sponsoring AC Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal FC, SL Benfica, Hamburger SV, Olympique Lyonnais, and Olympiacos FC. Qatar sponsoring doesn't seem out of order and is in fact inferior to Emirates sponsoring.

What i am disputing is people blindly believing PSG escaped without a scratch thanks to Leterme while we actually got hit financially. We lost 42 M€ from QTA and we lost again dozens of millions on our other contracts. If UEFA tells you your Etihad deal is worth 40 M ( and some dozens on Etisalat and Aabar) and you have to find the difference to balance your book, is it a total win in your book ? Will you say that Leterme has been bribed by City ? And again, the difficult part of City sanction is the alleged breach of the financial situation reporting, not simply the inflated value of your deal. So if you think PSG should have got done while complying, you shouldn't complain about City ban by your metrics.

If i was to mirror your statement, i could say : I have nothing against your club or fans but your owners... I don't remember PSG executives exchanging emails about selling the image rights to a company, which is actually owned by our owners. I don't remember PSG paying their coach with some bonus coming from a middle east club (Mancini). I don't remember PSG executives saying that QNB will pay 3 M while QSI or the Emir will top it. Etc.

Personnally, i believe City will prevail but if the CAS is judging City with prejudice, the same way you are judging PSG (with often wrong facts that i happily debunks with links),

 

[Parisian]

FIFA rather than UEFA?

People are mixing everything together and then form their judgement. This is what we call prejudice.

I appreciate you meant to make a point about double standards being used to assess the same reporter’s articles about City and PSG, but just be careful you don’t fall in to the WUM pit whilst doing it.

Blues on here may sometimes be less than accommodating of more nuanced opinions from supporters of other clubs, and may go a bit too far in expressing their objections at times, but this is a City forum, so you should know that will be the potential treatment when coming on here, the same as for a City supporter going on to a PSG fan forum.

We’ll tidy things up if responses are OTT but you should also be careful not to intentionally instigate them with inflammatory posts like the original version of the above, as well.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Oh, thank you for the remarks.

To be honest, i'm not trying to WUM. To be honest, i don't even know what it means but i got the meaning is like trolling.

I'm just using their own logic to show them the flaw of it. I came here first and foremost because i felt both PSG and City were unfairly chased by FFP and i still have that feeling. Even being attacked or not by City fans, i still believe City did nothing wrong and i hope City will get the whole thing trashed one way or another.

I thought he was pretty measured all thing considered,i don't who the who the other guy was,carol malone asked him why it matters where the money comes from,he kind of brushed over that bit ha

Whoa. Nothing gets past Conn does it. He's way too sharp for us.

 

[Kenward Garg]

City will nver let us do that

A shame that and something the club could maybe look at?

I believe you when you say why you are on here — you are generally one of our better non-Blue posters.

You just need to be more careful with the way you make your arguments and/or react to blues’ responses to them.

If you see something that is over the over the top, report it like any other poster should. Mods will look at it and decide whether it deserves action.

Just don’t reply in kind, because it just leads to more drastic action needing to be taken all-around and I would hate to see that, as I think having genuinely decent, knowledgable supporters of other clubs on here to give non-City focused views is a great thing for the forum.

Did PSG get banned for a couple of years ?
