I'm pretty sure my post isn't that garbled...

Suggesting we get a fine for doing nothing wrong? Relatively garbled I think

The thing about the Jadon Sancho case is that it was another of Der Spiegel's allegations based on the same batch of hacked emails. The FA spent several months investigating it before declaring their was no evidence to substantiate the allegation. This just shows how unreliable and incredible Der Spiegel's other allegations are. When City are finally exonerated (God willing) I just hope the club sues the arse off Der Spiegel and puts them out of business. Possibly a better outcome though would be for Der Spiegel to try to save its own arse by spilling the beans on the identities of the people who commissioned the email hacking in the first place. The shit storm would be epic.

i hope you are right... what’s the betting. A certain FC Bayern and LFC are the instigators of this?

Slow news day, always happens.

That said the state of play when UEFA come back with a 'nothing to investigate' verdict will be:-

FIFA - small fine relating to playing under age foreign players.
UEFA - hiding FFP related money sources, nothing to see here.
FA - Jadon Sancho alleged payment to father or agent, ditto.

Leaving the PL one, presumably related to the PL version of FFP and wages(?)

Given the likely outcome of the UEFA & the already finished FA investigations I'd suspect a quick resolution where they give us an all clear. Given the scope of the 4 investigations a small fine seems fair and will have the added bonus of serious pissing of the dippers (even more so if they get clobbered with a serious punishment for the hacking andal).



Doubt that any of the authorities will take any action against the dippers - media favourites don't get picked on by crooked football authorities .

Why would a fine be fair if we’ve done fuck all wrong?

It helps if you read all of the posts.

Where did I say anything about being completely cleared of wrongdoing? We did breach the under age rules for playing foreign players in trial matches (a couple of times?), although I think this was before they clarified their own rules. Chelsea of course did it 100's(?) of times including crucially, after the rule clarifications.

Edit: I'm not talking about UEFA fining us if that's your meaning.

If it’s ok with you I will reserve my comments for the issue I had an issue with? Thanks, although feel free to take issue

It probably didn't come across clearly in his post but I'm pretty sure he isn't accepting of any punishment at all from UEFA and I think he was referring to the small fine from FIFA as being a fair return from the 4 different investigations into us from the various organisations:

If you get and accept a fine for something it’s an acceptance of guilt. When you have a good name and decent principles, and have done nothing wrong, you don’t accept guilt and you don’t accept a fine, however “relatively small” it might seem to some. If I am on drugs, which I am not, then maybe some others need to try something to clear their own muddled thought processes?

Love this put down and will be stealing it for use in daily discourse. However, having read the last couple of pages it does seem like you are also in danger of being a dick too. I'm a bit of one myself, so recognise the key traits.

Personally I think it misses the key point, which is why the fuck would we be happy with a small fine when we have done nothing wrong? I don’t actually feel put down, even if you think I should do

This all kicked of on the 23rd June (22 weeks ago) doesn'tsay much for the efficiency of UEFA that they have still not announced a verdict.
