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

If united can be in debt by £500 million why can’t we take a loan out from bank of Abu Dhabi for £1 billion and pay it back 0% over next 100 years?

Because we are not united ? ( thank fuck ).

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Ha :)
The most serious allegation (depending on timing, structure and value) is the Zuculini one and I'd be far more worried about having broken FIFA's regulations on TPO than any FFP consequences.

This is the only area of concern I believe we will receive sanctioning, possibly a two window embargo from Fifa.

When I saw Chelsea were yesterday refused a right of appeal, it got me thinking.

Other clubs have been able to bring forward their spending like Barca and Atletico.

Now, either Fifa are thinking two steps ahead and it is not really Chelsea but City they have prepared the ground for, in terms of deals being done behind the scenes.

Infantino, however, is certainly someone in our corner, so I'm not sure, unless Chelsea are being used as a stalking horse to win on further appeal, thus leaving the way clear also for City to spend £200m this summer and see out a transfer embargo?

UEFA changed the rules to after our accounts were submitted, and that is the context to the alleged FFP violations. There are other issues now. City's communications have been forensically and criminally reviewed with a toothcomb. I'd be shocked if they haven't found something. Is the whole of football going to open up their books for review?

You don't really expect an answer to that,

Your just low at the moment Marvin, don't let the fuckers get you down.

All a bit John le Carre for me.

I'm sure someone said on here yesterday that refusing the appeal is standard FIFA practice, as it forces the club to appeal to CAS. They'll then put the ban on hold pending the CAS decision

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

It’s the sort of word someone with a limited vocabulary deploys in an attempt to conceal their inadequacies.

Plethora means plethora.

I hope we win the Champions League and then in our first home game back we make a public display of throwing the trophy in the bin.

Don't really see how else I can take it when the club is being investigated by the entire football world. Of course Man Utd, Liverpool want to see City punished but stupid me thought the Premier League might have some kind of independence.

If City go down. Football is finished. Economic power and political influence wins out over football players and coaches. Yes City bought their players, but what exactly have Man Utd been doing for 50 years.

I'm on the same page as everyone else, just upset at the turn of events which has been rapid to say the least. Anyone who is a City fan, and who says they are not alarmed is kidding.

Excess would be closest.
What limit did we pass?

limit?

 

[aguero93:20]

limit?

A plethora is an excess of something. It implies that we've passed a normal or acceptable limit.
