For what it's worth I think UEFA will say all the new charges were dealt with in 2014 and drop the case. Hence the comments from Tebas earlier in the week and the raking over of old coals that the sports press pack will willingly roll out this week for their "old big club" masters.
Of course, I may be wrong and UEFA may want ALL their dirty laundry washing in the public domain, as some people and organisations are simply stupid and willingly rush for the cliff edge.

FFP Before 2014

Football | The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...accounting-sponsorships-uefa-champions-league

This just about sums up The Guardian writer:

"Uefa is understood to have asked specialist sponsorship consultants to consider whether the money being paid to City by the Abu Dhabi companies was “fair value”. The Etihad deal is thought not to have been considered too excessive."

He could have simply said, yes, the specialist sponsorship consultants advised that it was "fair value" but, instead, he wanted to get the words "too excessive" into his narrative hoping that the "not" beforehand, would be missed !

He`s going on about matters from 6-8 years ago. It`s not new. Just old news re-presented to make him appear relevant. He`s a charlatan who brought out his book very quickly on the back of City`s first Premier League title success in 2012 with Vinny on the front cover and then went for the headline - `Richer Than God`.

He`s another exploitative journo, though one with more between the ears than most of them, who has used his upbringing as a City `fan` and his law background to try and give credibility to his writing. Him, and the other writer who even used the Rags in the title of one his books to get attention, share similar characteristics. They are among the worst kind. who have put personal gains and their own self interest first on the back of the club they proclaim to support.

He should go forth to FCUM where he belongs. Sex and travel also to the Out of Towners Director planted in UEFA, FSG and their cohorts.

"The attempt to damage the club’s reputation is organised and clear.”

I half want UEFA to ban us from the CL for a season so we can have a ‘straightener’ with both them and the cartel clubs leading them by the nose. We really need to put this shit to bed once and for all.

It won’t be easy and it will get fucking ugly but enough’s enough.

When I read that article our losses are quite small compared to say the rags or RM etc. The fact that we are now debt free means our business plan works. So why arent the cartel put under pressure to reduce their debts.
This FFP is clearly geared to stop any new club coming up and that has to be against any law in any country ! .Citys 'crime' is investing heavy to produce a debt free business. It's that what happens in every takeover ?

It is basically equivalent to myself owning a shop on the high street, and having been there for umpteen years I have built a strong reputation. Then along you come and open up a shop 2 doors down and start selling fast

i get the hump and start lobbying the council to impose sanctions on you so that you cant put much of your sales revenue back into your own business to make you better and grow - just so i can protect my own business

Now tell me would that even get passed at the lowest level - would it fuck

FFP is nothing but a restriction on owners on clubs outside the established cartel

Just wondering if your last para is right but for slightly different reasons. Maybe after.their visit and shall we say partial disclosure of our evidence against individuals they returned and those with a lot to lose are now not wanting a fight.
So possibly a coalition of our worst enemies and relatively fair members against those still consumed by their own importance, hubris and arrogance.
Decisions, decisions, in the end uefa decide enough is enough and effectively decide they have had enough of the tail wagging the dog and charge us just to get rid of the stupid cliff jumpers.
Unlikely I know but it must be one hell of a meeting.

It is time to finally shake off the FFP monkey. City`s competitors are doing their utmost to ensure this desperately clings to our back with their undermining, orchestrated campaigns. Green eyed monsters are waiting in fear of their vested interests being exposed.

See the above thread. Lets expose them.

Meanwhile, the best way is to win `Big Ears`.

We will not win 'Big Ears' because we will not be allowed to, plus the fact we are simply not good enough this season either.

Our chance playing wise was at best last season
