Re: City & FFP (continued)
I think I'm right in saying that sports can claim to get some special treatment with regards to some aspects of business law. But presumably a sporting body has to be able to fully justify what it's doing to get a court to ok something that may technically be illegal in usual business word. Surely FFP in its current format and the alleged punishment would never be seen as justified though, UEFA have utterly taken the piss which is a massive mistake on their part.Bodicoteblue said:That's pretty much what I thought .aguero93:20 said:No.Bodicoteblue said:Just one question from a person with no grasp of finances , investment and the law:
Would the circumstances we are facing now have been possible in any other sphere of business within the EU, is there any other market in which these restrictions( punishments ) could be applied by a group of businesses on another business operating in the same market?
Why then ( another simple , but I hope not stupid question ) does Uefa think that they can operate in this manner, contrary to laws which apply to every other sphere of business?
Have they become so consumed with self - importance that they think they are above the law?
Or has their unchallenged term of football omnipotence led them to believe that somehow they are different from everyone else and that they can make rules which are patently illegal?
I am confused.
