Serve them warm champagne. Hit them where it hurts.

You’ll be suggesting a Vin Du Pay’s next, you go to far Sir.

Was fortunate enough to be in the Tunnel
Club recently, and your seats are very close to the press pack. Walked past Ducker et al just after we took the lead against Burnley in the cup, and they had faces like slapped arses. Was wonderful to see.

Isn’t it ironic that the moron who dreamt up the regulations for FFP was found guilty of corruption and banned from football. Platini

That’s one way of looking at it. I’m fairly sure Platini himself has said putting ffp in was the only way he could break the g14 though.

In terms of the investigations, I really don’t have a problem with any of them. Given the emails that have been leaked, it would have been negligent of any of them not to at least investigate to be completely honest. I really do think very little will come of it though as there’s only so much that they can actually look at.

I thought the statement from the club was absolutely perfect too. It was strong enough to suggest “we’re willing to go as far as you want with this this time” and I highly doubt Uefa will be able to find much at all, given they can’t look to far into the money trail.

Ethically is a different story though and I’m a bit more undecided about that. I’d have rather the club fought the principle more in the first instance or just knowingly failed it completely, although I get why they didn’t.

Cant wait for us to be labelled anti semitic next because Jeremy Corbyn attended our away game at Arsenal.

Currently playing for United are: the worlds most expensive player (as was), the world's most expensive teenager (as was), the most expensive premier league to premier league player, the premier league's highest paid player (sitting on the bench), and about to be the world's highest paid goalkeeper.

Currently playing for Liverpool are: the world's most expensive goalkeeper and the world's most expensive defender.

The top 12 record transfers of all time {Neymar, Mbappe, Coutinho, Dembele, Pogba, Ronaldo (to Juve), Bale, Ronaldo (to Real), Higuain (to Juve), Lukaku, Suarez, Van Dijk} were between them bought by, and are currently playing for, only 5 clubs; PSG, Barcelona, United, Juventus, Real Madrid and Liverpool.



Whatever. Let's go after City.

That's why it wasn't around then. It's no coincidence it only came about when new money started threatening the established European teams. In a way I hope we did break the rules, treat them with the contempt they deserve
