I've read a couple of your replies now, and I haven't the foggiest what you are going on about, but this makes no sense whatsoever.
Football fans round the world want to watch the best football, and we play it, so we probably bring in as much money as any of the cartel clubs, particularly in relation to advertising, their main income source.
You don't seem to know the difference between FFP, and transfers, but there is an ocean of difference.
They can't issue a transfer ban, I think that's Fifa, but they can ban us from Europe.We sound very confident. If we were given a transfer ban we would just appeal it, and we would have the summer to get a few new players. Our squad is so good, with a mix of young and more experienced players, that we could actually cope with a transfer ban for 2 windows.
City have responded
Manchester City welcomes the opening of a formal UEFA investigation as an opportunity to bring to an end the speculation resulting from the illegal hacking and out of context publication of City emails.
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.
It is an individual decision on going to a CL match and I prefer to give them a miss.Like I said I don't know for certain, but we follow the club, and I get the feeling everything at City is done above board, we're all sick of this but we must all turn up for Schalke and get behind the team. Some comments saying I won't give uefa a penny and not going to games hurts City and the team, let's get behind the team and show these bent bastards.
First question at the presser tomorrow,will you leave if the club are proven liars?The press will get on the back of this, watch out for the fake bids from Real, Barca, PSG etc. for our key players. The media will print or say anything they can in order to spin negative vibes in the direction of our beloved club. Players unhappy at city etc etc. I must admit I worry about Peps opinion regarding all this.

Hmm(2).......Only a matter of time wasn't it?. My view is that we'll get punished heavier than Chelsea, they'll want to make another big example of us.
Nope not at all, you know as well as I do money has crossed palms either on young talent, agent fees Inc 3rd party or made up sponsors which ever way we all look at it we arnt fully innocent.So you are saying we’re criminals?
We’ll get a transfer ban?
Good grief
We know what Khaldoon is made of,the last few years have made that very clear.See what Khaldon is made of now
This feels like a fairly important moment in the club's history.
We had our first run in with UEFA and took their slap on the wrist and let them have their PR victory, and everyone moved on, seemingly happy to live in the state of "you're not really doing what we want, but you're not challenging us either".
Now it's reared it's head again I feel the club need to either take on UEFA & FFP or accept it and fall in line. There needs to be a resolution one way or the other.
Any kind of behind the scenes deals, taking little punishments in public and then trying every trick in the book to get around FFP without breaking it (which seems to be the MO for the last 5 years) isn't going to work anymore IMO.
Such faith in your,i mean our clubNope not at all, you know as well as I do money has crossed palms either on young talent, agent fees Inc 3rd party or made up sponsors which ever way we all look at it we arnt fully innocent.
UEFA on the other hand are no angels therefore both party's won't want each other in court.
Doesn't mean they don't pay to watch us though, and that's my point. If their team isn't playing, and there are millions (probably billions), who don't support the old G14 cartel clubs, and they'll pay to watch the best football, and generally we play it.My point about the income is related to the number of fans worldwide who pay to view & certain clubs have many more fans than us
Yup. I have no doubt that actual evidence will be at a premium and regarded as almost academic by UEFA anyway, because they intend to ban us come what may. The last 4 months have just been about them looking at the most morally credible justification they can come up with for it.
And to be honest I don’t think I could give a fuck anymore. The competition, as we saw when we were handed Lahoz and as we saw again in Paris last night, is as bent as a nine bob note. I’d also expect the ban to be sufficiently lengthy as to “encourage” our best players to leave. City will need to go to Court, but whilst we all know that FFP is bullshit protectionism, there is no guarantee the law will see it that way as well. I was amazed about 3 months ago when Pep said our owners had assured him we would not be banned, as I wouldn’t rate that call at anymore than about 50:50. UEFA is a dog and the G14 are the tail which wag it. There’s no point in them banning us for a season or two, because we will just come back stronger and more savvy. The blow they will wish to deal us will need to be fatal. These are absolute cnuts we’re dealing with and they’ve never been anything but cnuts. Batten down the hatches, game on!
