UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[Neville Kneville]

We should be more worried about the FA investigation.

If they backdated it to last season & docked us 3 points for each offence...............oh wait, we'd still win the league anyhow.

So a corrupt organisation is looking into the possibility that one of its members has been corrupt??, correct??, uefa can go and get f****d

Fuck the fuckers, let’s give away all our money, rebuild Maine Road with 4 completely different stands plus the gene kelly, let scum and dippers do the double over us every season, apart from the ones where we get relegated, then the normal order will have been restored and we can go back to being everybody’s second favourite team

You have issues too I see.

As long as we don’t bring back Swales

That was going to be my next post, although I do agree with you

David Conn yesterday (Irish Times) has a piece saying the most serious allegation for UEFA is the diguised sponsorship claim that the Sheikh was funding Etihad's sponsorship (and presumably others).

If that’s the best they’ve got then we’re definitely in the clear.

PUMA deal announcement has spooked the old footballing elite that we are going to leave them behind. This is just the reaction to PUMA deal announcement.

Totally agree, this has been the tipping point for the Cartel, they cant get over how "massive" we have become.

Loads but I manage to keep most of them to myself

I like that little paragraph

Liverpool’s principal owner John W Henry has long been a chief advocate of FFP – his expectation that the rules would be stringently implemented was one of his primary motivations for becoming involved in European football. There will be an expectation that any wrongdoing results in severe sanctions.

Yeah, right John.
Sure it wasn't that between yourselves and RBS, you got them for about 50% of their worth?

Yep. Admittedly, Henry did make reference to FFP when he first bought the club but to suggest that was his primary motivation insofar of doing things in some mythical correct way is bollocks. More likely that he hoped FFP would cement Liverpool’s place in the elite and increase the value of the club exponentially from the knockdown price he got it for. Someone should remind the short-sighted fuckwit that FFP 2.0 now allows new owners of clubs to do what City were originally punished for.

An uneventful investigation maybe helps all parties in a way.

UEFA are seen to have done something but don’t have enough information to prove city of wrongdoing. And they avoid the financal risk of taking city on in the courts.

City are able to set the record that they are not guilty of any wrong doing (in a strictly legal sense). And avoid taking UEFA to court which they won’t want to do.

Our rivals and detractors will be able to put an asterisk next to all our achievements*

*which personally I couldn’t give a fuck about if we sweep up five trophies this year!

What would be great is once this is settled legally and nothing comes of it, we are then free to hammer DS etc who have libelled us.

That's all fine, but if they are refused access to the emails, as you would imagine they will be, then those same forces who are behind this inside & outside UEFA, will forever tar us with being guilty, but getting away with it.

So if they strip us of the title last year and give it to the rags, does that mean mourinho has to come back to utd and gone on the parade bus through Salford?
Maybe they could let solksjaer drive it as he's always at the fuckin wheel lately.
