That would be quite a handy change of goalposts if so, applying laws retrospectively is completely illegal

Surely having a rule set without outlining what the penalties are beforehand is illegal?

No, it's just shaky and leaves you open to grounds of disproportionate punishments and favouritism.

I've come to quite enjoy imbibing the rich cultural canvas that visiting some of Europe's leading cities provides, by finding the biggest square and drinking there for two consecutive days.

You will have plenty of money for city square then ; )

Have you seen the prices??!!

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Just a question to our ffp experts as this is above me.
Lets say the club break even in our next years accounts and we all think we've sailed through ffp then hand the books over to UEFA for them to asses.They pass them onto their accountants hinting they would like a fail.The accountants then go through the books and report they have disallowed this and that as it is not allowed under ffp also they have decided to reduce the level of so many sponsorship's as they are over market value so for ffp purposes our break even figure is turned into a loss and another fail under ffp and we end up with all this shit again next year.

He's had a bit of stick on here recently but I thought big Niall gave a very coherent and strong argument as to why the proposed FFP sanctions are grossly unfair on Sky Sports last night before the game.

The same accounts are used next year, with the addition of the ones for this year (2013/14) so that scenario is quite likely, unless we overturn the decision to disallow some revenue.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Would I be the only one who wouldn't give a shit if we were banned from Europe for a season? It's not ideal but the UCL isn't exactly brimming with quality matches and it's got corruption riddled through to its very core. I know I probably wouldn't miss it, although no doubt the owners will, we have all been fooled (and the MANY sponsors) into thinking it is the absolute dog's bollocks in regards to Football Tournaments. That is the absolute opposite of what it is, when was the last time there was an absolute classic match that wasn't already an established derby? I've seen better football overall watching mid-table BPL teams duke it out. But of course football can go hang when the money coming in is just so big, especially from Russian gas and oil magnates, oh what's that you say? Big spending Chelsea were in the semi-finals again? What a coincidence.

I'd rather win the league ten times over than win the UCL just once, I honestly mean that.

+ 1

+ 2

And how are you gonna win the league when one of the prime motivations for top players to join any club, is whether or not they're in the Chimps League?!

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.

That "financial expert" is Ed Thompson who is not an expert, been chewed up and spat out on here by Prestwich Blue and others. He is a self-appointed expert on FfP runs a website He trawls for info and then later repeats rumour and opinion of others as though it is fact

We're getting assessed on 2 seasons, 11/12 and 12/13, 10/11 doesn't come in to it at all, so as usual ed(case) is full of it.

did anybody see Ed on SSN yesterday -
