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

[Rammy Blue]

we are not owned by a nation state

That’s not what he said.

How come it’s not obvious to the media especially people like Simon Jordan that our accounts trump the emails and that Etihad are clearly paying more than the 8 million stated in the emails

 

[Akpowell]

So as an example

We agree to buy Chilwell from Leicester for £80m
Our payment for the player is arranged as £40m up front and then the other £40m split equally over the next four years, £10m per year
After we have paid Leicester the initial £40m, if we don't have another £40m in the bank (the balance) then we would not be allowed to buy the player

Yeah, what's wrong with that

Seems implied or why mention nation states after all we are talking about City and as has been pointed out some companies are richer than states

And the real problem is the Glazers have used someone else's money to enrich themselves. For me, that shows up the weakness of UEFA's regulatory regime. They subjected United to a degree of existential risk that should have been unacceptable.

When you look at many of the businesses going into administration, they're often owned not by people who genuinely care about the actual business or its customers, but by private equity, which only cares about getting back its money after loading the business with debt. If football club owners want to risk money, then it should be their own they risk.

I say thank fuck uefa let the glazers carry on doing their shit, it’s hardly helped the scum has it?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

If an owner is a nation state with untold wealth which no other club in the league can compete with, would you still agree?
There has to be ffp but not in the current form EUFA are stitching City up with.

The majority of leagues in Europe are one or two team leagues anyway, ffp doesn't increase competitiveness, it stifles it.

If you follow the posts back 3 or 4 times you'll find that this is in relation to Newcastle being bought. It's all about context, have you really not worked that out yet?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I say thank fuck uefa let the glazers carry on doing their shit, it’s hardly helped the scum has it?

But so much of their problem is down to bad management surely. The fact that they are allowed to operate with the level of debt they have is what is so bloody frustrating when compared to our situation.

Ffs, why have we paid £80 million for Chilwell, ridiculous.
