And if nothing else, the last ten years have been incredible, and every extra day is a bonus.
Yes you've had a great ten years. But I don't think it's over yet. Everyone knows UEFA are no saints themselves so the most you'll realistically get is a transfer ban.
And that won't hurt you really. Your squad is the best in the country so you can easily manage with a transfer ban. In the long run this will all blow over sooner rather than later and we can all start talking about football again.
 
The question is wrong pal. I’m not arsed about playing semantics. You can circumvent such obstacles without doing anything illegally, but you know that. Read the club statement again. The crux of it suggests the published accounts meet all legal standards. And I’m sure that’s correct.
"The accusation of financial irregularities are entirely false. The Club’s published accounts are full and complete and a matter of legal and regulatory record." FFP compliance is just about our accounts isn't it ?
 
We want the names of the twelve premier league clubs......for future reference like......
 
Fair point but there is a difference....Chelsea and Arsenals players were responsible for the lack of Champions League games as they failed to qualify, our players will have earned the right to play in it and would be denied by circumstances caused one way or another by others. Thier players also have still got European Football in the Europa League and whilst not ideal they are still playing in European competition.

What about potential new arrivals given the choice of playing for the Rags or Liverpool in the CL or playing for us in three domestic competitions only....Come on if you were an outstanding footballer what would you choose?

There is a difference but I don't think being out of the CL for one season would cause our players to leave. Attracting new players is harder but I still think,unfortunately, that players put high wages before ambition and so do their agents.

No point in falling out amongst yourselves lads. Your owners will have this thoroughly under control. It's not as if they are naive chancers or something.
They are shrewd billionaire businessmen and will know international law like the back of their hands. Imagine billionaire business men not being allowed to spend their own money on their club. None of this ffp makes sense. UEFA are probably shitting themselves and are making a gesture to pacify the established clubs but I doubt very much they want to take on Abudhabi in a legal battle. It's not going to happen.
A slap on the wrist and that's it. All done.
