Fat Sam on talk shite saying he finds it incredible that Villa have new owner's who can't spend money because of FFP.
Surely he must realise that is FFP operating exactly as intended.
New owners can spend money in the premier the ffp rules in championship must be different.

What this smear campaign completely fails to grasp is that having a mate on the board of another firm and calling them and saying,
"hello Jim, we're in a bit of a spot - any chance you can bung us an extra couple of million on that sponsorship deal"
is NOT illegal.
Moreover, it's not even against FFP rules, and the extra couple of million is perfectly allowable under FFP rules!
It would not be allowable if "Jim" worked for a company controlled by City, i.e. they were a related party, as defined by international accounting standards. But this is not the case, as confirmed by independent auditors, both ours and UEFA's. The tests are objective and objectively the relevant sponsors are not related parties.
So we've done nothing wrong and there is nothing to see here. That doesn't get many clicks nor suit rummenigge's purposes though, does it.
A clear agenda as they realise that it’s going to be nothing but pain from here on in. Red cafe is amusing reading as they are scratching their heads wondering why no hacks over here have gone ball deep with their name next to the story, they think it’s a cover up and the media is in cahoots with us.
The real story is this group of hasbeen clubs grouping together as the year don’t like competition and have not adapated over the last ten years. I’m amazed Arsenal want to be included in this super league as they haven’t been competitive for nearly a decade.
Sit back and enjoy it little City having the whole of Europe running scared.

As I assume, the one-in-4-years CWC is a way to create the tournament as soon as possible, without interfering with the CL. After initial period, FIFA would propose a CL-like competition and invite all clubs to take part on a very attractive terms (even in its 1st year the clubs are going to earn more in a month than in CL in a year!). It would mean the death of CL.
And take a note that it's going to be a planetary competition (imagine if SA clubs start to earn CWC money! Revolution!)
And that's the real problem for the Spanish 2, imagine Brazilian footballs top clubs suddenly had financial clout, no Neymar or Ronaldo etc having to come to Europe for the cash. It'd fuck those 2 over big style.

The greed in the game now is unbelievable and, unfortunately, we're part of it. Start of the end for football all this. Will be like the City globe trotters soon, with away days to Dallas, Beijing and Tokyo. :, (

Have these reports from Germany been used to maybe cover the real issue at hand which has been highlighted by Marca, especially as all De Speigl seem to have given us is regurgitated stuff from 2014
And the real story is being hidden which is the forming of the supposed Super League led by no other than Juventus, Real, Barca and of course our old friends Bayern

Not sure a CWC would be attractive as there's no depth to club football around the world.
it's a great idea but look at the format now, assorted 'minor 'teams play each other then the champions of Europe/S America go over and play in the final, it's all a bit zzz.
Even if spiced up half the S American teams & all non-European teams will just be fodder.

Whoever flagged Mubadala links to Softbank has found the smoking gun, brilliant detective work.
Now you have established motive.
And guess who is playing both sides and sits on both the Uefa and Fifa executive boards?
That's right, our old friend David Gill. Who also sits on the board at United.

So I guess the Cartel attacks the targets that are visible, i.e. Infantino and City. They don't have anything but stolen mails and PR tools to stop the CWC.
Infantino has already hit back, promising to ban all the players taking part in the Superleague from FIFA tournaments.
Take a look. It's a serious war waging before our eyes, not just Bayern being jealous.

Great article from Rory Smith: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/09/sports/manchester-city-united-football-leaks.html
It's by far the most balanced one I've yet read.
