Heard that - it was on H&J on talkshit.
They were talking about the related party deals with PSG and the Qatari tourist board and how they are looking to re-evaluate them to what the crooked bastards at uefa think is fair market value.
They mentioned City in this context, but what any of that has to do with us is anyone’s guess.

Hold on minute, so basically if a club strikes a deal with a sponsor and UEFA dont like it. They will just re-evaluate that deal and then say ‘nope, sorry it isn’t worth said million pounds/euro’s per year.....we value it at this, so thats what it is’

This is just as corrupt as anything they are trying to investigate. So its alright then for a club to be bankrolled by debt and continue to function on this debt. I guess so when certain people who infest uefa are associated with such a club

Infantino was at the derby game at the weekend as a guest of Gill.

That's what we are up against. They don't even try to hide it now.

Even the referees are smirking.

Yep...gill probably said to infantino ‘look what i can still influence’

As with the referees this past week and FFP rearing its head again, the bias, favouritism and possible corruption isnt even subtle anymore.

Heard tail end of something on the radio that basically said that G14 are pushing eufa to bring in new rules to peg back the likes of us ‘or they will form there own closed league’.

Akin to the spoilt boy taking his ball home then?

Hear the same shite every few years, which of these so called ‘elite’ clubs fancies coming bottom? Who thinks the fans of let’s say Arsenal, will be happy finishing bottom? They can’t cope with being 6th, same for the Milan clubs, Rags, Dippers. It’ll never happen imo, but if it did it’d die a death quickly as those clubs who have the most fickle of fans would all jack it in.

But our revenue is up there with the best now isn't it, so FFP is not a major obstacle to us anymore, compared to other clubs?

Its is if, as mentioned above, eufa start decreeing that certain deals are overpriced. Theyll just move goalposts and change laws to suit wont they?

Yes but it seems to be falling on deaf ears.

From what I’ve heard most of our sponsorship deals are underpriced

 

[chaddblue]

Yes but it seems to be falling on deaf ears.

With who, UEFA ? Or those who are still flapping about it?

Ed Woodward
Nationality: British
Club Role: Executive Vice Chairman
Date of Birth: 9 November 1971
ECA Executive Board Member since: 2015

Current ECA Roles

• Member ECA Financial Fair Play Strategic Panel
  
• Member Board of Administration UEFA Club Competitions SA
• Member UEFA Professional Football Strategy Council

So that's Gill and Woodward, plotting from the inside.

So you're telling me, a regulatory body is composed of the very members it is mandated to regulate?

I'm a little speechless.

Wouldn’t trust UEFA with a thrupny bit mate.

That aside, how would you envisage UEFA using this money to ‘deliver for the benefit of the game’?

That thought crossed my mind too.

UEFA getting its grubby hands on even more money doesn't sound like it would benefit the game , but certainly be tempting for even more of their corrupt officials to squirrel away in tax havens.
