Not necessarily so.We’re in trouble I fear. Along with potentially many others. The FFP rules were crafted to maintain the old cartel and that forced clubs like us to bend the rules. They needed breaking and they need to go but if people at the club were dumb enough to put all this in unencrypted emails then my guess is a transfer ban and squad size penalties are on the way.
In this day and age for the club and the wider business not to be using encryption is pretty dumb.
I suppose blaming PB rather than RS is a step forward though?That Nick Harris chappie either genuinely believes what he says, doesn't think there's anything to disprove it, or is playing semantics. I suspect the third.
I think he's on safe ground when arguing that FFP was not targeted at City/PSG - they were happy collateral collected up in the regs to rein in New Money Clubs. Where 'happy collateral' may mean 'examples of intended targets'. I think he's arguing the semantics that it was designed for two clubs, rather than a broad group which just oh-so-coincidentally includes those clubs.
He's got a real bee in his bonnet with PB though, who has apparently brainwashed loads of people.

It was a bit mucky after driving down to Wembley but I had it cleaned & valeted last week.Possibly. Does PB have a dirty car?

Last week the DM online football page led with the story that City could be banned from the Champions League following more Der Spiegel allegations. Today there's no mention of the arrest and extradition of Rui Pinto who is accused of extortion, illegally obtaining documention by hacking emails and hacking two accounts in the Cayman Islands which purely coincidentally resulted in 268,000 Euros ending up in his bank account. Or that the Spanish and French police, as well as the Portuguese, also want him extradited to them. I'm sure it's just an oversight.
