The CAF

The Premier League and The Champions League were supposed to protect the status quo for the old guard. Instead, a club like City has emerged from the shadows and is now eating handsomely at the top table. The last 10 to 12 years must have been very painful viewing for the people associated with the old guard clubs. A pain that is so intense that they would take their battle against City off the pitch in order to try to remove City from the top echelons of football and try to damage the legacy of the club. They have failed miserably so far. What a job the people at City have done during this coordinated campaign by the old guard clubs. City have the strongest brand. Play the best football. Have the best manager, the strongest brand and hence the highest revenues. Many reasons to be cheerful. There is one battle to be won. The PL charges. Come on City! We can do this’
Another hilarious rallying cry from Blueloon - ‘emerged from the shadows’ Jesus Christ. Sold your soul, place in the Premier League - and arse - to an Oil state more like.
A friend in Manchester tells me that the deviant who runs that site is on the Abu Dhabi Do (and Don’t) payroll, to censor any conflicting opinion. The chairman apparently has an account, and even Pep goes on it for his populist content for press conferences. The insecurity throughout that organisation is alarming.

The FFP piss is now boiling. Something the Rags have championed and believed in for the last 15 years.

How can any other club get punished for ffp while this stand off with City goes on…?
As bizarre as it sounds, it would probably benefit other Top 4 clubs to purposely breach ffp to a lesser degree than City and tempt punishment in order to ensure City get properly taken out.
But as it stands I don’t understand why any club should follow ffp to the letter, what’s the point?
And if City get a fine for 115 charges, moving forward, how can any team be punished more harshly than that without it being basically an admission of corruption / bribery at the highest levels?
