Re: City & FFP (continued)

Been thinking about the apologists comment.

If someone states at you in a bar and calls you a twat do you a) ignore someone beneath your contempt and go on with your business or b) start screaming smack them , get taken away by police, spend a night in the cell and then pay your 300 quid fine the next morning patting yourself on the back that you showed them?

I am surprised how many b's there are out there!

Daft analogy.
Here's another one.
If someone walks up to you in a bar spits in your face and puts his hand up your girlfriends skirt and robs your wallet.
You draw people's attention to this but everyone looks away.
Do you a ,Give the attacker a dirty look
Or b, Take him on.

Why has your girlfriend got your wallet in her knickers?

Big growler in there.

C) stare back.

Not a bad solution it's what we are doing now

Maybe because only a woman or a total **** would go with option A
and your premise is also wrong under option B what normally happens is you stand up a bully and they back down or you smack them and just leave the Bar leaving them to contemplate their actions and thinking twice before doing it again

Usually being smacked is what turns bullies into bullies. Far better way to deal with bullies is to move so far ahead of them and their petty lives you don't even have to think of them unless you employ them to clean your pool. We beat UEFA by sailing through FFP next year and winning the champions league and showing the world that nothing they could do could even deviate us from our strategy. If we fight we lose focus on the real goal, fall in to their hands and get distracted. Platini suffers when he has to hand Kompany his prizes trophy

I think we are bing goaded because they know that we will kill it in future and the only way to stop us is tying us up in legal knots, putting out energy into courts instead of football and losing players by being out of champions league. All the leaks suggest the goading of the club.

It is now we hold our nerves and see through our plans with minimal distraction and put achieving our on pitch goals ahead of emotion - cool heads we win!

We win when we beat PSG in the final and We parade their trophy to the world

Just seen the Ollie Holt article of FFP in the mirror, it's pretty good.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

If the cops arrest you for assault when all you did was ignore the bloke that called you a twat do you a) accept the six months prison, or b) use every avenue available to you to seek a fair and just outcome.

We'll try and negotiate, of course we will. But on the information available to us, UEFA might be insisting in the six months inside.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Reports are that PSG will only pay £20m in fines, compared to City's £49m any coincidence that Platini's son PSG?
This is beginning to smell fishy, how do PSG get a lesser fine when not actively trying to comply with FFP, yet CIty, who were doing everything in their power pay over twice as much?
UEFA should be taken to court over this, this is the agenda coming out in the open for all to see.
UEFA are a joke, a 12,000€ fine for racism and banana throwing!!! Yet a team actively improving an area by pumping money in is a crime!!!!

Reports on top of rumours on top of leaks at the moment.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Have we any idea when the official punishment will be announced (my guess saturday for the agenda theorists) and when will city actually make a statement.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

There's an article on the daily mail from an financial expert saying we've failed it due to our wage bill in 10/11 season. That gets wiped out next year but will city accept the fine as they know we will pass it from next season onwards? After all this 50m could be completely made up and we've got a fine much less than is reported.
