Our situation is different to theirs in that we did not disclose that our owners or His Highness or whomever was fronting up 7/8ths of the Etihad cash, and that had UEFA known that was the case, we would have been hit with more severe sanctions. Those will be the grounds used to differentiate our case from PSG’s
But the Etihad deal was assessed as a fair representation of market value at the time. It is not the business of UEFA to monitor how private companies external to football should source their capital. It therefore illustrates that FFP is destined to fail.
