Time to roll out another big fucking banner at the next home game 1894 Group. How can I donate?

In all the noise about these new allegations, we should take a moment to stop and remember that the FFP rules we are alleged to have broken, were corrupt to the core in the first place.

Utterly ridiculous that any owner should not be allowed to invest in order to build their business.

This is the point that gets consistently lost. I would assume that City will now chalkenge the whole FFP charade as being an anti-competitive illegal construct introduced in bad-faith by a cartel.

What amounts to misconduct in football and who can be disciplined? - Saunders Law

The FA’s rules can be found in The FA Handbook (section 10) (‘the Rules’). Rule E deals with misconduct. A participant involved in an incident may be investigated and disciplined...

Are any of them subject to individual legal action for fraud etc? Not sure Soriano can run the club from a jail cell.

I think the worst he is accused of is breaking PL rules, not UK law.

Also seems like the most serious allegations pre-date Soriano.

it's money laundering basically

You don’t have the faintest fucking clue what money laundering is.

I do wish people would stop posting shite about things they don’t understand.

Look up money laundering.

What in these charges relates to the “process of illegally concealing the origin of money, obtained from illicit activities such as drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement or gambling, by converting it into a legitimate source.”

For example this

The Cas panel of three European lawyers decided by a majority 2-1, however, that it would not consider the legitimacy of those Etisalat payments, because they were made more than five years before the CFCB charges were brought in May 2019, so were “time-barred”.

I am not enjoying any of this and I am properly pissed off. I am actually shocked that these fuckers did it after 4 years of being investigated and we are literally on our own. The very fact they've done in a month when Chelsea new owners are spending like £600mil on transfer and the PL teams spent more on transfer in this winter window than other four European league put together is telling me we are fighting for our lives here.

What you are arguing there is 2 different things (although it may be irrelevant anyway) - by saying that CAS had stated we had committed a murder etc, you implied that CAS was stating the payment was illegal but wouldn't be looked at due to being time-barred; but the actual statement, as you quoted, is they voted not to look at the legitimacy of it due to being time-barred. The latter implying that they wouldn't look and then determine whether legitimate or not.

Well it beats reading your cutting remarks.

Cunting more like!

At least they haven’t included the underreporting of the crowd for the Charlton game in 1985.

Yet!!

This probably explains the uneven performances and Pep / players seeming a bit distracted recently?
