Re: City & FFP (continued)

Whilst I understand that is the case, I believe the wages settled before the introduction of FFP should be discounted whether you pass or fail
It seems a little against natural justice to take into account something that was put in place before the regs came out

It's slightly worse than that a minor (disputed) fail without the pre 2010 reduction is being turned into a significant - circa £100m fail which is the basis for the alleged £50m sanction.

That's my point
We shouldn't have to go cap in hand to UEFA to ask them to take off our pre 2010 wages as FFP was only a spawn in Gill's eye at the time we made the contracts

And that's precisely why they brought it into FFP.

My money is on a broader international deal with Nike.

I've always thought Nike would be involved in the sports science project, they are already involved in a top facility in the states.

We'v also spent time on their 'campus' pre-season iirc.

But retrospective rules have no basis in legality
As has be shown with some of the 70s sex cases being brought to court now

Anyone seen this? Jean-Luc Dehaene has died of pancreatic cancer - could it be that his illness has contributed to the delay in sorting this out, given that he was pretty much UEFA's main man re FFP?

That's how I thought aswell SF.
The wages pre 2010 would be deducted to come to our overall pass or fail figure mate.
It seems to me they have just moved the goalposts so we failed therefore not being allowed to deduct these causing a catastrophic fail.

Exactly
To the outsider with little knowledge, I'm looking at you Ed the dickhead, it looks much worse than it is

It seems a bit like getting caught drink driving in the 60's and getting a retrospective ban now. A bit simplistic I know, but I'm a bit simple.

We'll no doubt get blamed for that as well.

We could cosy up a lot closer to Nike in the next few years particularly if the rumours are true that United are now talking to Adidas.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Suggestions his death is the reason for delays, but if he was diagnosed with cancer, would he have been working in the last few weeks?
