Well they can't as that would be illegal.<br /><br />-- Wed May 07, 2014 7:55 am --<br /><br />Falastur said:jrb said:As I've already posted, I think City will either revisit current sponsorship deals if we win the league again, or go all out and sign some massive new sponsorship deals to make up the money UEFA are planning to take off us.
Won't UEFA just decide that they are "unfair" too though? I mean, even if they are with non-UAE companies, the timing would be so propitious that surely UEFA would have no choice but to go "you pulled strings to get this deal. Nope. Not going to happen"

Gillespie said:Bodicoteblue said:It's very simple - the events that happened in the past , let's call that " the history of arsenal FC"Gillespie said:Hardly revisionist when accepting the factual reference to Woolwich, part of our long and rich history.
Not sure what you mean by that last sentence to be honest
all contribute to the existence of the modern entity ( in this case we'll call that arsenal FC as it is today )
It's a kind of linear thing - you know , one act or decision influencing another and so on .
Like a football club leaving one area for another ,for its own benefit , and becoming very big and rich.
Are you postulating a theory here?
I'd say the past at best is no more than a guide to the future but can no way predict it.
As to Arsenal, I still don't understand the relevance to this thread
I mean you lot moved from Maine Road to Eastlands but how is that relevant to FFP or the price of fish come to that?
You say 1914, but you have basically just said "Peace in out time"EalingBlue2 said:I love the go to war mentality let's go and fight regardless of the consequences, regardless of what the end result is. It's so George Dubya and to be fair it's what most people thought in 1914.
You don't fight footballs governing body, all the other clubs, the media etc without everybody losing in the end including us.
UEFA can fight dirty and cause so much damage that wen if we win in the end we will have lost.
Honestly would you today accept the break up of this team, years of chronic publicity (20x worse than today) to end up winning a fine that won't go to city and potentially breaking apart a game and turning football into a European form of gridiron with 20 super teams and no promotion relegation etc
People need to think about the consequences to us and football of going to war with the game and going to war with football as they could be far wider and worse than imagined.
In 1914 people wanted war, a tidy quick victory and 100m people died . A footballing war could have war wider consequences that kill much of what people love in the game and that may be more unpallatable than an immaterial fine and a but if harm to our champs league prospects for one season

The only good news today for you is,you still have a slight chance of Europa league.If you can call that good news.Gillespie said:HolisticJim said:As nothing official has been announced I don't understand how the papers printing nothing short of slander are allowed to get away with it.
It has potential to damage our season and seriously undermines our credibility and damages the brand.
We've spent all that money in a bid to build the brand - how are they allowed to print this and get away with it.
If it's untrue, it's libel not slander and the full redress for such under the law is available to Mansour. However, to prove it he has to show damage to his reputation. Not easy that one.
You have 2 games left and in pole position. The only thing that could damage your season is if you fuck up against both sets of the clarets and blues.
They print it because they have been given the leaked info which is why they are so confident not only as to its accuracy but also to its provenance.
FFS get real over FFP

Couldn't agree more. It's obvious he's here to wind people up with snide two-word replies.
