Bizarre. We did breach FFP rules and were sanctioned for it.
My understanding is that we will be asked to present our case, which we weren't able to do before the case was passed to the Adjudicatory Chamber. Despite that they tried to get us to accept a token punishment, which we refused to do. We will not accept that we did anything wrong and therefore won't agree to any punishment. And that's from the top.
These breakaway threats are all bluff. The complications are obvious. Without approval by UEFA and FIFA, this would mean a complete break including domestic competitions and international matches. It would take years of planning and the cooperation of the TV Companies and require ridiculous amounts of funding.UEFA are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The IC investigation was flawed on so many levels and Ceferin knows this which is why he turned up at City's last two CL games with an offer to find City guilty on a minor technicality and impose a small fine. City, quite rightly, told him to go forth and multiply. His masters in the 'establishment' clubs will be pressing him to punish City possibly with their old threat to duck out of the CL and form a breakaway competition. IMO this is why the 'decision' has been delayed so long. i.e. UEFA simply don't know what to do.
Slightly more off topic. Of all the county towns in the country, Derby has to have the worst restaurants, apart from Trowbridge, possibly.

That’s fair comment about Carlisle. Oakham’s got some amazing food pubs in the villages around it.Must have something better than Carlisle which, admittedly, has a KFC. I can't imagine Oakham troubling the Michelin inspectors either.

This happened in Rugby League in Australia way back and ended with two competing Leagues ARL and SuperLeague.
Celtic and the former Rangers have talked for the last 25 years about ‘breaking away’ from the Scottish Premiership. It was all bluff as no one else would have them.
Call their bluff!
When I worked in Carlisle for a spell, we usually eat at the Citadel. No complaints from me. I don’t know if it is still going?That’s fair comment about Carlisle. Oakham’s got some amazing food pubs in the villages around it.

I get all moist when reading words like those.Which is exactly what they should have done at various points since before they formed.the PL in1992. Now is the time though because Arsenal and united, two of the G14 clubs at at their lowest ebb.
