Re: City & FFP (continued)

I would rather give £50 Million to a good cause, maybe an anti-racism charity would be appropriate (UEFA?) then see them corrupt twats line their Swiss bank accounts with it. The Sheikh will not accept this and it will be challenged, the man is shrewd and made billions off the back of the Barclay's deal years ago. He isn't one to just give his money away and especially not to them twats.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Appreciate the principle, but the reality is our owner is required to pay a £50 mil fine which does not count to future FFP calculations. You think he's that arsed? Seriously?

He should be.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

It's quite funny that a lot of you seem to be missing the bigger picture here. UEFA Champions League is an invite only competition, so you could refuse to pay the fine or boycott the Champions League if you really wanted, but you really think it'll hurt UEFA?

They'll simply invite the next available team into the Champions League and life would move on. You're not important enough to derail the Champions League through boycotting, it would still remain the most prestigious club level competition available and you'd just be the ones missing out - which again, would simply hurt you financially through lack of sponsorships.

For those of you calling it "pocket change", wow, it shows just how ridiculous your views on money in football have become from your sugar daddies looking after you. £50 million is an incredible fine. Money even your club wouldn't want to lose.

Again, City would probably refuse to pay or challenge in a court of law, however I think the fear of no Champions League is a much scarier idea.

Laws apply, whether it is invitation only or not.

It's hard to argue in a court of law against rulings for an invite only competition. Essentially, City may escape having the fine but UEFA could easily retaliate by withdrawing future invitations. UEFA control the Champions League, not City.

It's an admission of liability when he's done absolutely nothing wrong so yeah, he might be.

Agreed. But I still don't think he'd be that arsed

Obviously he is or we wouldn't be arguing, I'm sure UEFA would be happy for us just to pay a bigger fine.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Oh god I hope we issue a statement rejecting it.

It would be so on if we do that.

Just take them to court City. Hope we mop the fucking floor with UEFA and the G-14.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

so PSG make a much bigger loss than us yet get a similar deal, funny.

£50m fine + squad restrictions is obscene and isn't a punishment, it's a blatant attempt to nullify us and destabilise us.

Funny this comes out the day after Liverpool fuck up.

It's just blatant, absolutely blatant.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

uefa and fifa are the most corrupt and morally bankrupt organisations in sport.

They accept racism, they accept sexism, they accept bribes, they look after vested interests from the like of the rags, bayern, chelsea, arsenal, real etc.

They are dirty, vile. comtemptible scumbags, and they need challenging like the smug, obnoxious, bullying fucking parasites that they are. Do it City, do it

It's pointless arguing wit you, because it's obvious you really don't understand and you come from it from a United agenda

Re: City & FFP (continued)

And if we threatened to take it to court I guarantee they will shit the bed and halve the fine.

It stopped legally being an invite-only competition when UEFA took over the role of sole commercial negotiator, now it's open to antitrust statutes, it's also open to employment law as it's a professional sport, as has been proved before with the Bosman Ruling.
