Re: FFP - Why we failed

Not even fully read first post yet pb but i appreciate as I'm sure do many, your effort and time explaining shit like this.

me and my gaffer looked at each other open mouthed for a moment as we divided 198 by two which gives you a clue as to where I'm at crunching numbers.

I know you posted in the past about how we should satisfy the criteria set for 'passing' FFP . I shall read the thread when I've got a mo' and wind meself up.

For me them UEFA cunts cannot stand a club like City. Or is it just City?

fuck em.

This. Thanks PB for always clearing the fog. Basically both you and City feel we complied. You were spot on with your analysis. Keep up the good work.

We should also be able to sue for damages, surely? If we fail in the group stages or last 16 because of a reduced squad, could we not sue for revenue lost if FFP is found to be illegal?

Oh FFS! No wonder you have some many posts.

I think I'll watch the Cup Final instead and leave amateur lawyers day to run its merry course.

Re: FFP - Why we failed

Sometimes in life you just have to take it on the chin and swallow some pride to move on for the good of it all. We just have to make sure we stick it to the corrupt Platini and his cronies by regularly becoming Champions of Europe and England for years to come.

Re: FFP - Why we failed

No disrespect intended to PB, but I'm not sure why people are treating his posts on this matter as gospel. They are nothing more than assumptions and guesswork, which really is all they can be unless something official is released documenting the whole decision-making process. PB's assumptions and guesswork have proven to be wide of the mark a number of times throughout this whole debacle, so don't see why the opinions on this thread are given any more weight than the opinions posted by other people who are equally, or even more, well informed on the matter, who contradict PB's opinion and who actually have a better track record with their interpretation of these rules.

I'm not saying he is wrong, just that he isn't necessarily right either.

He's got more of an inside view into the clubs books than any other poster and has put a shitload of effort into explaining this to people on here since it was first announced (as far as I can tell, I'm only on here a wet day) ?
Nobody outside of the CFO's at the club and the CFCB could give you anything 100% on here anyway.

Re: FFP - Why we failed

I just skimmed over some of the posts as I'm trying to juggle watching Atleti and Hull but if we have failed over £3m and the very least we're going to be out of pocket because of this fine is £9m then that is disgraceful, surely this would count in our favour in court

I have no idea if that's actually the case, but the evidence certainly doesn't support it as the opinions posted don't cover anything you couldn't form your own opinion on from the information made public by the club and UEFA. He also has, through no fault of his own I might add, previously misinterpreted the letter of the FFP rules, which surely doesn't strengthen my confidence in the interpretations given here. This interpretation and the associated assumptions may turn out to be correct but I'm not sure PB's opinion on it merits any more weight than the opinions of others, some of whom have previously interpreted the letter of the rules more accurately. More accurately, but still not completely accurately.

We don't do ourselves any favours if we give undue weight to a single person's opinion just because it in some way validates the narrative we want to push. There are other contradictory opinions that at least deserve equal weight and equal consideration.

Re: FFP - Why we failed

After spending months reading what the so called ITK posters said regarding FFP I've come to the conclusion you have about as much clue as the rest of us. Stop talking shit.
