Don’t take the piss: he led me in a promissory estoppel claim at the Technology and Construction Court in front of Mr Justice Pepperall just before lockdown. His skeleton argument was a work of art.

What the Cartel want is everything to return to the era before City arrived. That's what they thought FFP would bring. It was a set of rules dictated to UEFA through agents of the Cartel. Would anybody in their right mind bring in a set of rules that allowed clubs like the red shit down the road to outspend other clubs based on external sponsorship, gate receipts, tv and media earnings. No mention of the Glazers debt, no bollocking for American shitbag owner's who milk the clubs dry and then blame City for all there ills.
The Cartel need FFP so they can once again be the big fish in the pond, able to pick off player from other clubs for what they deem a fair price, not what is a fair price. United, Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal can then get back to living off the crumbs Real Madrid leave behind in their yearly procession toward the stitched up top 4. Let's hope that this verdict brings about revised changes to FFP that penalises owners like the Glazer's for loading up debt onto there club and restrict United's spending, you know, like say to United's owners if you can't afford to stay in Hilton hard luck fuck off.
