We didnt break any rules we did bend it its just that Uefa were/are to stupid to plug that loop hole.

So why would we accept a fine?

I wouldn't unless there is a caveat from Uefa!

If look at our owners history we back down and take it and thats probably why we would take a small fine!

we 'took a pinch' once, with a clear message (IMO) that it wouldn't happen again

Yeah have to wait and see how it plays out.

Well nothing hidden during the election & fallout and the big UEFA guy at out last two CL games.... something is going on, wonder when he last saw a club play twice on the bounce?

Do hope in true Simpsons style (Are we there yet?) We just keep saying over & over again 'We'll see you in court'.

The fact he was there, sat in the best seats cozying up to the top brass, and no doubt being wined and dined .. gives me hope that there is no conflict going on behind the scenes and things are heading towards an outcome we are happy with

It might also be a signal to the plotters.....sorry, guys, not this time.

Goal reporting decision delayed - well we know that, but they do say decision expected late January.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich paid £247m into the club last season but it still made an overall loss of £96.6m. Surely this means they have fallen foul of FFP?

Potentially, but:
- you only fail over a 3 year period, not a 1 year period
- there will be some exempt expenditure (new stadium development costs, for example)

What was the 247M for?? That's a heck of a lot - the stadium, maybe.
