Not sure this opinion will go down well but I would like the UK media to present both sides of the FFP argument in much the same way as The Daily Mail.

There aren't two sides to the argument as one of them is illegal

Speaking of things which are unlawful, the fine we got last year was improperly applied because the EU did not give UEFA their blessing to implement these rules unless it could be shown that the club's punished could be shown to have long term sustainability issues relating to high risk credit arrangements. This was Khaldoon's main argument last year.... I.e. that our club's model was sustainable because we're debt free. So the fine was unlawful and should be refunded to City. I wonder if ourselves and PSG threatened Twatini 're this.

I have a 'feeling' that as we agreed to the pinch there is no comeback on the fine.
However an honourable UEFA would return the money with an apology.


So we won't see our money ever again.

They took the money off the clubs who failed the finances and gave to those that didn't, seems fair

Tend to agree with you unless of course as PB suggested recently perhaps this 'relaxation' was part of the 'pinch' agreement with legally implemented clauses for not legally challenging. Then this 'fine' City paid will have had some value ether in cash or benefit to ADUG and maybe subject to a cash refund at some time.

As you suggest our FFP argument seems to be the only legal one but at least Daily Mail allow Mr Sam. to publish that view rather than staying with their other journos who present the fictional illegal one.
I don't see that in any other of the National Daily papers.
I think they may benefit clickwise by presenting an alternative to their party line by allowing an alternative opinion and this will alsol allow them to not be tainted by illegality as that reality dawns on their readership.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

It was not a fine if I remember right rather a reduction in prize money

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

People need to let this 'fine' or whatever it was, go.

We may have lost that battle, but it seems we've won the war. Who knows, sacrificing that battle for the wider purpose may have been very much the club's intent.

It's done. Move on.
