Seems to have somewhat gone under the radar this one - can't imagine why.​

Sky Ports News

'UEFA's Club Financial Control Body has fined Manchester United €300,000 (£256,744) for a "minor breakeven deficit" under its Financial Fair Play rules.'

Fails a fail raggies..........

How do you fall foul of the rules you invented to protect yourself. That’s some incompetence right there.

Ask Boris Johnson........

Funny no other Premier League clunbs broke the rule and all had empty stadiums over the covid period ! At best embarrassing at worse could have big financial problems ! £850 in debt? Owe £200m in outstanding transfer money, only a limited transfer budget ???

Minor breach, did I say minor, not their fault, it’s only minor, Covid, minor, hardly anything, not really worth talking about, minor breach.

UEFA statement is that this is a "minor breakeven deficit".

Changing the wording to "minor breach" is rag media spin.

It's like saying someone committed a minor breach of etiquette because they only shat on the carpet a little bit*.

Is that right about outstanding transfer money.

On the day the Rags failing UEFA FFP was made public, the Rag loving Daily United has had this headline and article for most of the day.



The small United failing FFP article has dropped to the bottom of the page, alongside.....


Of course there's no agenda against City from the Rag loving tabloid redtops.

UEFA decided to rush the announcement when news of the Mendy verdict broke…..

The coverage(lack of)we are seeing of this story is exactly why this thread exists!

BBC report on the Rags FFP breach is incredibly supportive, all a minor misunderstanding and it’s inexplicable quite how United could have been punished for such a minor oversight. The contrast with how they report on us is breathtaking.
