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

I'm a sick bastard but I am kind of interested to see what 1 season focusing fully on domestic football would look like for us. Guessing we end up with 115 points.

TOLM it’s nit his first offence either , was doing exactly the same last week !

Talksport know exactly what agenda he is going to spout so surely they are culprable!

It’s not the first time they have gone OTT on city without getting there facts straight !

David Silva and his baby etc etc ....

When is enough enough ?

Yep, he's an Arsenal loving **** who is going to find his mobile number posted on here before much longer.

Allegedly, of course.

He's a simpleton. Conveniently, for a supposed expert on the subject matter, he elected not to mention that the hacked documents relate to the period already sanctioned for.

He's in big trouble, as he accused us of failing twice and still manipulating the books.

He's finished.

Accor (French hotel chain, 10% owned by QIA, who have two board members. Accor are entering a 1bn deal with QIA to build hotels) - QNB (50% owned by QIA with the remaining %50 regular shareholders (limited to maximum of %25/%49 non-Qataris, can't tell which figure is correct) - and - Qatari Telecom (68% owned by QIA).

The timing of all this is extremely suspect.

Sorry if this has been highlighted already

What timing exactly is suspect here regarding PSG new sponsor deal ?

PSG was a long time partner of Emirates. Due to the turmoil between Qatar and UAE, it was unlikely that partnership will keep going, especially when PSG was asking for a big raise due to their bigger profile worldwide.

PSG prospected for a long time (chinese companies, Air France,etc.) before they got that exceptional offer by Accor Hotels that had decided to launch their new fidelity program ALL by announcing their partnership with PSG. I think it is fair to say they got a big publicity (prolly few of us would have heard about them so fast, if not for that PSG deal).

As often in business, connections are essential and Sarkozy is in the board of Accor. Sebastien Bazin, the CEO, is the former (despised) PSG president when he had been sent by the Colony Capital crooks. Qatar has only 10 % in Accor and is not even the major stakeholder (they are chinese).

If you have a problem with that sponsor, what about Bayern and Adidas, Allianz, Audi that are at the same time in the ownership and in the sponsorship ?

The other sponsorships have already been dealt with FFP (they have all been devaluated several times to meet the fair value), so it should not be a problem either.

That BBC tosser is on the national news now giving us shit from across the road.

Banned wanker.

Blackburn and Chelsea weren’t/aren’t owned by Muslims from the Middle East.

Is the correct answer.

I wonder how many fucks would be given if a bit of beer was chucked at him.

The thing about all this that rankles the most is that the arguments are all historic from stuff 5 years ago and subsequently they reneged and changed the FFP requirements for new investors when some of the old G14 clubs couldn't make the break even requirement and went crying to UEFA.

The club have clearly demonstrated financial propriety and management, we are 5th on DeLoittes list and are one of the fastest growing football brands with a turnover that will exceed 600 Million this year, have never broken a transfer record, clearly made substantial profits for the last 3 seasons and therefore piss the break even requirement so beloved of these arseholes, yet we are vilified as cheats based on rules that no longer exist without the truth being heard on the basis of conjecture and rumour mongering among the press and their "sources". I sincerely hope we fully nail their fucking hat on when the time comes.

Are City really facing a potential Champions League ban?

https://boltfromtheblue.live/2019/05/14/are-city-really-facing-a-potential-champions-league-ban/

So if that's true, surely the precedent has been set with UEFA's punishment of PSG when they devalued their 'related party' sponsorship (if Etihad is deemed to be a related party - the case for which seems neither here nor there) and fined them? Why would we be banned if PSG weren't?

It was never edited out.

But the specific wording City used in quotations is not in the article??
