Whether the reports are true or not - it’s really not inconceivable that clubs would try and claim compensation is it? Why wouldn’t the bastards want to twist the knife?
No, its not inconceivable. None of us know. What I do know though is ALL headlines around this have been written for Utd and lfc fanbases - What would you want to hear if you support those clubs....
"Our owners could go to jail"
"Titles will be taken off us"
"Titles and cups will be awarded to them instead"
Do you accept those things as possible? What about Pep taking bungs as was accused years ago? Not inconceivable?
Its all dreamland stuff created just to bring clicks. Why no headlines about City claiming compo if we are innocent? Because its not popular. None of those fanbases would go near that. So they talk shit about City and KNOW some will believe it and thats all it needs.
As for the actual compo (I am nowhere near knowing anything about legal stuff) but that would open a can of worms. We could claim compo for Utd failing FFP because they materially cheated us out of wins against them, lfc too failed FFP, in effect cheating. Leicester - Has anyone yet brought compensation claims against them?
Not only that, can the PL award compo to those teams? I suspect not, they cant tell City to hand over billions of pounds just because. And if that does happen than whats to stop City and ALL clubs claiming off each other because of FFP failures? For compo to be awarded it sounds very muich like we would have to be found guilty of very serious crimes such as cooperating with our auditors to create a different picture, defrauding HMRC etc.
The PL have created a mess and they know it. Its why they never before bothered about this shit because it was a can of worms... Until the govn said they will regulate, then they did something, and they did it on behalf of the red cartel clubs but thats just my opinion.
