You break the rules or try to find ways around them, then you're likely to be found out and punished.

We want to play in the Champions League and therefore have to follow their rules, no matter what we think of them.

Very embarrassing for the club that this is being dragged up again. Careless

I would imagine they will do to us what they are doing to Chelsea . Make us miss one or maybe 2 windows
 
I want us to win the champions league more than ever now so that we can shove it straight back up their arses

From what we've seen in the stolen emails so far, just from the emails showing Sheikh Mohammed was footing the bill for the majority of our UAE sponsorships, it seems likely we're not really doing things straight, and instead trying to exploit every loophole and grey area possible.

Perhaps it's an issue of Abu Dhabi subsidising their state owned entities rather than subsidising us.

Didn't the deals first take place before FFP existed? Maybe there was a reason other than FFP for them to.be structured that way.

I certainly think (and by all.accounts UEFA agreed the.Etihad deal was a price you would expect to charge in a fair market.

I think the majority view that the investigation marks a new low in relations between City and UEFA may just be way off target. We are all assuming that UEFA are out to do us to appease a baying cartel while we are arming ourselves with writs and the like to give UEFA a working over in the courts.

It might be as well to remember that we have sailed through the FFP assessments ever since 2014, that the first DS revelations appeared last November and that UEFA was as much a target as City because they had conspired with us to circumvent the regulations they had introduced. Infantino refuted the claims while City argued that the claims were based on emails which were obtained illegally and would not comment. There was no conflict between City and UEFA then, but the usual hacks reported that UEFA would take the strongest action if the claims could be proven. This could be the usual nonsense our press prints.

Since then it has emerged that these emails have been produced - maybe even fabricated - by a Potuguese who specialises not only in hacking emails, but also in using them to extort money through blackmail. This charming gentleman had fled to Hungary but only this week found that the Hungarians had agreed to extradite him to Portugal to face trial for these activities. He seems a most unlikely witness to provoke a virtual civil war in club football. In a post on Monday I raised the question of whether he had been foolish enough to try and blackmail City! I wonder now if he has been daft enough to try and blackmail certain UEFA officials as well!

So, UEFA announce an investigation of "reported" FFP breaches, City welcome the process but suggest it will amount to no more than another glance at our accounts, which have already been shown to be "full and complete" and the investigation shows that FFP has succeeded in transforming City into a model of financial propriety. The only wrongdoing is that of a criminal hacker and blackmailer who goes to jail for a very long time and DS has to settle out of court for extensive damage to the reputation of City - and UEFA!

That should deter future troublemakers from dipping into the (murky?!) world football (and UEFA) finance.

Good post that, lets hope so.
 
Enough with the nonsense now please,and that includes attacking other members.

Posts have been removed,anymore shite will result in thread bans.
 
lets just win the fuckin thing and slowly walk off, leaving the fireworks, glitter parade and a very lonely cup in the middle of the pitch, lots of red faced UEFA dignitaries wondering what the fuck to do!

I think the hackers/newpapers have all the context needed and have sent it all to UEFA already. They took terabytes of data, so it's not like they've just seen a few smoking gun out of context emails, they seem to have got everything for years.

I would think City and their lawyers are working on the assumption that UEFA has every email sent & received over the period of the hack.

City should ask UEFA a copy of everything they have on file in line with GDPR

We have more chance of David Silva jumping on Vinny's back and winning the Grand National than we have of winning Uefa's Champions' League. They don't want us in, they want us punished for transgressing rules that were made up after we complied with the rules/paid the fines. The whole Uefa/CL set up stinks to the heavens. We get through next week's 2nd leg, and there'll be another hurdle in the quarter finals. Get past that to the semis and as sure as croissants are croissants they'll put in Señor Lahoz to make sure the LotG are applied as Uefa meant them to be applied.
