Not quite correct. The Dupont case finished in an unsatisfactory no score draw. Dupont won at first instance in a Belgian court, but then it all got messy on a matter of jurisdiction.I'd still mention in passing that whether it is unfair restraint of trade has never been tested in the courts (so the court realises it's arbitrating on alleged breach of rules that might not be lawful).
It wouldn’t surprise me if those muppets at UEFA said that post Covid-19, FFP only applies to clubs owned by people born on the 20th November 1970.It won’t exist in its current guise post Covid.
Well - that is an out of date quote now - she and my daughter have added another subject in recent years;-)Am with you there but are you absolutely sure you’re entirely rational on all other matters? ;-)
Sorry if I misunderstood but I thought previously you had inferred that the Premier League can’t do anything on this?Anything less and we would still be facing Premier League sanctions and all that entails.
You really think the other 19 clubs would sit on their hands if we got a one year ban instead of two?
Guilty would be guilty, regardless of a reduced sentence.
People need to understand the gravity of this case, it is all or nothing.
City would be sent into the wilderness for years by a guilty verdict, putting an official stamp on deligitimising every trophy we have won.
That would certainly be in the interim, as we got to the highest courts in the land.
The damage would already been done though.
Just a thought, I know thinking is dangerous, have the leaks been plugged because the earlier leaks have done irrepairable damage to UEFAs case.
Out of interest Tolmie. Would City settle for a suspended 1 year ban. Because personally, I wouldn't.
This just gets more and more ridiculous. We are sure City and UEFA are involved are we?
