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

[razman]

That’s a great watch, to imagine that the likes of Khaldoon will in the end be bested by the buffoons at Uefa and their uninformed press sycophants is unimaginable . What an intelligent and erudite guy this is to have in charge.

Damn didn't know his father was assassinated when he was an ambassador in France

 

[Tevez City]

From 2000- 2015, Real Madrid spent 1.5 Billion Euro. They outspent every club in Spain, Europe & the World but that was fine.

In the NBA, there is draft where chances of getting best young players are equal and we can call it fair. But in football, whoever has the cash will buy whatever is shinning.


Madrid are buying trophies and financing it through ( income, dodgy loans or Perez ) and thats fine for La liga president. But when City & PSG can compete with Madrid and the rest of rich clubs, investing my money into my business ( Club) becomes forbidden !

If I bought a small coffee shop & I need to compete with Starbucks who has huge revenue, is there any law in the world that will prevent me from financing my project from my own money ?

Some people take loans, others rely on profit & accept slow growth while others takes risk and spent their money to try to grow fast which City , PSG &( Chelsea ) did.

Uefa are hypocritical organisation that deserve to be booed forever.

Tosh, I am sure City players are numbers 16 through 3,892.

 

[jrb]

That’s why Journalists are all shit.

All the info they need to refute Tebas’s claims, and pen a fair and unbiased article, is out there. But it goes doesn't then narrative, and won’t attract the clicks from the Rags, Scouser’s, and Tarquin’s. Better to keep the myth that City are destroying European football.

 

[Oystercatcher28]

Wikipedia is not evidence. Nor are facts and figures.

 

[burning blue soul]

It’s nothing to do with luck, we needed the best to try and fill Peters boots ;-)

We definitely need a montage picture poster of some sort with khaldoon looking up to big comb-over Pete in the sky, asking him "how am I doing, boss?"
I just hope no other club has beat us to this classy tribute already!!
