Wasnt the original punishment a monitoring period. I know we were taken off the monitoring don't know if PSG were.How can UEFA be going through PSG's accounts now?
They're like some criminal overlord telling his subordinates not to pinch any of the spoils they've robbed from others.I always seem to think these days that EUCB (formerly known as Uefa) are the mirror image of that Mickey Mouse film where he's chasing around trying to empty buckets of water, while the music of The Sorcerer's Apprentice plays on. They are so 'busy' stuffing rules down people's throats whilst trying to keep a hand on, and for some of them, in the till, they will disappear up their own fundament.
What I don't understand is that UEFA looked at the Qatar sponsorships when we were sanctioned and forced them to write them down from about €200m to €100m per annum. Even that seemed a bit generous at the time. So presumably they've increased them again.
Whilst it may look like a witch hunt, those two deals for Neymar and Mbappe were always going to come back and haunt them in some way.
For a start the tv fights in Ligue 1 are nowhere near that of the Premier League and overall sponsorship for PSG will always be a level below that of the top PL teams because of the exposure our league attracts.
I am unconvinced that even one team in England could have afforded those deals last summer without fiddling some of the finances here and there.
PSG's sponsorships are laughable considering the state of Ligue 1 and also PSG's own performances in the CL. Signing Neymar is a huge marketing tool but kids in Brazil wont be wearing PSG shirts any time soon nor anywhere else in the world.
I hope UEFA come down hard on them and the PSG wrap them up in all sorts of legal battles.
Seems legit. The mbappe "loan" was a blatant pisstake to avoid putting another mega transfer deal on the books.
Their owner, like any other, should be free to spend whatever he fucking likes on which ever player he likes. The G14 have their grubby little paws all over this like with us. I’m getting more and more pissed off with European football by the day.
It’s corrupt, we know it’s corrupt, they know we know it’s corrupt yet fuck all gets done about it. PSG like us will he treated like outsiders and not allowed to win the CL, were being treated like Chelsea were originally until they found someone else (us) to fuck about. No coincidence that Chelsea finally won it after we’d been taken over.
Couldn’t agree more mate.
UEFA and the G14 are scared of a free market.
UEFA want to play as a protectionist racket but with sanctions instead of the violence.
