Fucking hell. A 2-year Pep extension rumour and now this.

What an afternoon!

From an Arsenal perspective this isn't great for us. The main ruling I see from this that impacts us is the fact that club owners can't give the club loans without having fair market value interest charged.

At present the Kroenkes loan the club £250m and as football is a risky business I'd say fair market value interest rates are around 8% so that's an extra £20m that needs to be factored into FFP moving forward.

Wholesale cheating for years. All your trophies should have an asterix. Oh. Hang on…..;-)

Right then, what can we sue them for?

Hasn't done them much good over the last 4 years.

Its why I love VAR, so much harder for them to fuck us over and keep credibility for the league.

Any news on this?

Nowt mate. Waiting for Panja’s next tweet or Magic Cunny to throw us a bone.

That could really fuck up Brighton so we’ll see how the Brighton supporting finance guy reports it. He’s been disingenuous throughout.

I'm sure I read their owner has loaned them over £300 million.

Presumably this verdict will also quiet the incessant calls from both sides that the independent panel is biased?
