Why does this come up on the day where the doping scandal is revealed? Coincidence or smoke screen?

And he's even wrong on that. The contract under which we occupy the stadium is a finance lease and entitles us to all the benefits and risks of ownership, which includes any revenue streams that it generates. It's like an airline leasing a plane from Airbus, Boeing or a third party. They can paint it in their livery and get the revenue from operating it.You don't need to click on it, he's just rehashed the crap he wrote 2 years ago (pretty sure he's actually copy & pasted the majority) with the additional byline that we play PSG midweek. Seriously, that's it.
Oh, he does get a dig in that we are only tenants rather than owners. I don't remember that bit from the original 'story'. Personally it cut me to the quick.

Any chance you could arrange a head-to-head - you vs Harris? It would be entertaining to watch.

It certainly would be interesting but I'll just say that I've have had some contact with Nick over the years and he's generally quite good on FFP plus his website is excellent with some great stuff on it. This article is a right dog's breakfast but the clicks help pay the bills I suppose.Any chance you could arrange a head-to-head - you vs Harris? It would be entertaining to watch.

I wonder what the response from our owner (and PSG) would have been if they had carried out the exclusion.
The reason to create the barrier to entry shows a certain fear of our owners capability so perhaps they did not want to tweak the tigers tail too much.
Perhaps Mr Harris only has historical options left to keep the defeated and flawed FFP in the news as a good thing.

I always thought that the expulsion was on the list of punishments, but it was a long way off happening
Given PB's comments, it appears to me that Harris has written something on commission, for Mail readers, purely to create an impression prior to City being the last CL side standing.

The fact that we play another FFP tainted Club adds to that view.
Seems they were right to be fearful of competition.
Proper investment in time produces financial and field of play results. Debt, unless serviced by massive profit needs the very investment FFP originally disallowed.

Fair play to the Bayern fans tonight. A banner telling KHR to stop the bullshit re superleague

Nail.Head. Much better for clubs to be hugely on the red. Outrageous to be debt free.The fact that we play another FFP tainted Club adds to that view.
