Syntax...Maybe we could refer it to CAS (Court of Arbitration for Spelling)?
Exactly as it stands we are banned, we don't know how long the appeal will take or if the decision will be overturned yet. It's good to try and remain positive but there isnt any more information at the moment.
it not easy and remain positive when its uefa ?? do they have rules or make them up daily, as for the appeal do they have them in a kangaroo court

Idioms, oxymorons and now we have our good friend the homonym.
Thought we might as well get a homophone in as well.

I think people are exaggerating the Qatar vs. AD angle here.
I definitely dont think we have enough influence over the Swiss Attorney General to make him indict Nasser on our timeline or command as a few are pretending.
I don't think there's any link, other than timing.
MCFC - Corrupting the Swiss legal system since 2020.
Interesting theory from Delaney.
It bears no relation to reality, unfortunately - but then that shouldn't shock anyone familiar with his output.
Let's have a look at the current list of the top ten most expensive transfers in football - if Miguel's yarn stacks up, the top three names should read City, United and PSG, with the rest lagging way behind having been blown away by the outrageous extravagance of those three.
Erm.........wait a minute..........where are City?
OK - maybe I'm being too restrictive. The Top 20 then.
Erm........nope - still can't see City
Yep - you’d have to stretch your search out to the top 30 to incorporate our sole appearance in the list below - KDB at number 26.
Great theory Miguel - doesn't really bear up to even the most basic research though, does it?
But yeah - City are the problem here. Clearly our more measured, restrained, financially prudent competitors like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Juventus, Chelsea, Bayern, Inter and Arsenal (all of whom seem to able to compete perfectly well, and have easily eclipsed our highest transfer fee) need the extra support of FFP to thwart this cunning plan!
Perhaps - just maybe - this has got precisely nothing to do with City, and this story is just another tired example of Delaney's all too predictable agenda. Yet again.
The first rule of journalism - never let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh Miguel!

I really hate to end up defending Miguel fuckjng Delaney of all people but that list does show one thing very clearly, which is that PSGs Neymar purchase massively inflated the transfer market.
Neymar and Mbappe speak for themselves, Coutinho and Dembele were Barcelona panic spending and Griezmann was a continuation of that. Joao Felix was Atleti spending that money and the reason an 18 year old with 1 good year went for 120m was because people wanted the next Mbappe.
Van Dijk and Alisson both went for their world record fees because Barcelona paid so much for Coutinho and Maguire cost 80m because of VVD resetting the value of centre backs.
So I think he is absolutely right to say PSGs 2018 inflated the transfer market considerably.
Now the thing you've taken offence to is that he said City could compete.....but that's not really wrong. City haven't chosen to compete but we could have. A lot of the transfers involving other clubs (liverpool, atletico) are really them spending PSGs initial 400m they dumped into the market.
We have it from decent sources that City would have spent the money on Mbappe and we tried to get Messi in 2017 which would have been a world record fee.
City haven't competed with the top 10 transfer fees, but that's different to jot being able to. We are able to and it's only a matter of time before we make a top 3 or top 5 transfer IMO.

Although over a third of those other transfers happened before Neymar, so what was driving that?I really hate to end up defending Miguel fuckjng Delaney of all people but that list does show one thing very clearly, which is that PSGs Neymar purchase massively inflated the transfer market.

I'm fairly sure PSGs strategy wasn't to spend big on Neymar so that us, them and United only could compete. Have they spent big on anyone since? Quite a few other clubs have spent more than us on a player since.
Seems to me Delaney trying desperately to link us in with the latest news.

Who says we could have competed with those figures?
