£50M fine pmsl.

For me its nowt but tough rhetoric that they can say they tried to be tough with sanctions but ultimately they had their hands tied.

No fucking way on Earth will we or PSG or anyone else agree to shit like that and UEFA know it!

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Can someone explain to me how fining a 'business' £50m for making a loss makes any sense as I'm really having trouble getting my head around that one. Surely that adds to the problem or do UEFA have a different agenda?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

They've humbugged us, and they've caught us pretty flat-footed. I hope I'm wrong and we weren't naive enough to trust them and believe them whilst they've been blowing smoke up our arse for the last year or so.

"Humbugged us"? Is this some sort of North Manchester working-class expression as I'm regrettably unfamiliar with it?

I was paraphrasing, it's what Wellington said when the Tipu sultan stole a march on him.

Very common term in North Manc amongst the natives, everyone says it.

"Humbugged by god, the blighter has humbugged me!"

In that case you shall henceforth be known as a "fuckin' miserable humbugger"

Re: City & FFP (continued)

The story is a lift by the Press Association from today's edition of L'Equipe, nothing more.

The assumption being, L'Equipe's excellent contacts within PSG give the article a major degree of credibility.

P.A. have done nothing more than this and the subsequent UK news outlets are now piggy-backing their lead.

The figures being attached to City, are an educated 'guess' that they will be in line with PSG.

Ask yourselves this question, how would Paris know what our assessments and fine are?

City have not been informed what PSG are facing from the Uefa audits.

If it is £50m, which is not even the amount you can accumulate for actually winning the Champions League, you will see the English champions throw down the ultimate gauntlet.

As I have stated, previously, I suspect Uefa want this to be challenged in court, so they can have the thing amended properly.

Exciting times ahead.

Legality of FFP coming right into the Public Domain across a lot of channels this morning, PSG and MCFC gearing up for a challenge?

How many years could it take to get this to the European Court though.
It was reported that the Dupont case would take up to five years.

A judgement is actually expected on that case next year.[/quote

Well that would be two years already, and from what I can see they are asking The Court of First Instance to get a preliminary judgement from The European Court of Justice. Looks as though it could drag on for a while. I hope I am wrong.

So, all things considered, does this increase or decrease my chances of shagging Natalie Sawyer?

For some strange reason I got a picture of Natalie Cassidy in my head, there.
