Re: City & FFP (continued)
I just don't understand how these rules even make sense?
If somebody came along and bought up Premier Inn, and decided they wanted to turn them into a five-star mega hotel business by putting their own money in, would the EU be fining them for increasing the competition in the market?
'Actually we're not going to let you buy any new hotels and here's a 50 million pound fine for daring to take customers off Hilton'. It's just nonsense. Premier Inn would have a five or ten year plan in which they would become profitable for the owner, and before that the owner would take the hit from his own resources.
Its completely the same as us with Sheik Mansour from where I'm sitting.

A big FU 2 UEFA
I don't care what a corrupt bunch of muppets in Switzerland do to limit clubs from growing. The PL is far more important than the CL now as far as i'm concerned and if i saw a FU2UEFA banner at a game, i think most would applaud it.
Manchester City and Paris St-Germain are facing fines in the region of €60m (£50m), restrictions on their Champions League squad size and a wage limit for failing Uefa financial fair play rules.

Haha, I'm waiting for someone to link one of ours from about 2 years back.

Re: City & FFP (continued)
The assessment of Paris has now provided a future benchmark for certain deals.
In term of excitement, when all this is done, the club will be able to cut their cloth around whatever the new realities are.
What UEFA have done is reveal their true selves to City and the people back in Abu Dhabi.
There goes a story of a particular person from Abu Dhabi, who owns a great football club.
He also owns Hakassan (please eat here if you get the chance). One night in Las Vegas this person was highly offended in front of his friends at a hotel.
He thought about it a little more.
Then he decided to buy the building next door and start building his own casino, pay for the best staff, put his Hakassan in place, pay Calvin Harris £10m to DJ and the next step will be to drive these people back into the desert.
Abu Dhabi does not take kindly to being offended.

As Tolmie said earlier, exciting times ahead....

You may as well well get your popcorn at the ready its gonna be a blockbuster court action if UEFA dont figure out how far from shore they are.
