If there wasn't some form of cooling off period inserted then everyone one of their top class, highly paid lawyers would not be worth their salt.Anybody know the governing law of the contract by any chance?

After Perez, I do not think this was a fuck-up. They knew what they were doing, even if part of it was out of almost no choice, and part of it would bring some serious reputational damage.
As the peices fall into place, the timing really works itself out. That's why this was so rushed.

Perez is off his nut
Boo fucking hoo
Bar this being a crock of shit, if the **** want's to make a profit well don't offer alaba a 5 year deal worth 400k a week or spunk 130M on hazard.
Live within your means and balance the books,
Real started half this shit with their galacticos stupidity decades ago, and rather than trying to monopolise all the money in football, start managing your own, if that means for all these 12 dicks you finsh 5th a few season and don't play in europe or win a trophy, well that's life.
La liga
Bunderliga
Seria A
Here (to an extent)
All would be much better leagues if teams were on an even keel and competiton returned.
Football at the top needs to reflect on this and FFP and other crazy ideas and say "we have got it wrong" we need to lessen the greed and put in place measures that keep teams financially viable and leagues interesting , whether it is salary caps, penalties for intentional debt creation, or whatever, letting these lot spend and spend then once it bites them on the arse have them try to smash and grab all the money has to stop football shouldn't suffer because of their own mismanagment (RM, rags, scouser, Barca)

I thought that at first, it was one of the first comments to come out of the interview, but if you then look at the ridiculousness of the rest of the interview, it’s far too selective to actually believe him about City. He sounded like a 10 year old.After Perez, I do not think this was a fuck-up. They knew what they were doing, even if part of it was out of almost no choice, and part of it would bring some serious reputational damage.

I agree Marvin.You are on cloud cuckoo land if you think that those 12 clubs are equivalent. That ESL plot was openly discussed in the papers at the start of the season. This was the exclusive league that has been mooted a Man Utd and Liverpools attempt to cut City out in case they could not bend UEFA to their will. They messed up on both counts.
Real Madrid, Juve, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal drove this. City and Chelsea accepted invitations.
There will be no major punishments for Manchester City. We shot the damn thing down when it came to it, and only joined it on the very last day (simon stone, BBC). I don't know exactly what our thinking was. It may have been greed, it may have been subterfuge but it is not the equivalent of Man Utd. Why do you think investment banker Woodward is going, and why did he resign yesterday? His plot. His failure. His defeat.
I can see some minor sanction and censure for City but I'd quite welcome some investigation because our major rivals have much much more to lose than us.
AT worse we're greedy and incompetent because we signed up for something that was doomed. At best we're damned smart. What we aren't is calculating and devious and duplicitous. Ceferin's comments are very understandable
Well done though for arguing a point against a prevailing point of view.
You put into a good post exactly my thoughts on the matter.
Obviously our enemies via the media will try to divide and conquer fans and owner via the apology topic but the result speaks for itself.

Debt needs to be a hindrance to clubs. If you’re in debt, you can’t spend!

Just because he is nuts, doesn't mean he is wrong on everything. Besides, that's really just the final bit, everything else suggests it. The timing of events most of all.

I think Woodward resigning was his exit strategy as to take the club to “ESL” & I’m sure his bonus would he linked to that.
Its possible hes achieved his target, the club has since decided to resign from ESL.
