Imagine being punished for breaking your own rules

A club statement read: “While disappointed by the outcome, Manchester United accepts this fine for what UEFA acknowledges to be a minor technical breach of its previous Financial Fair Play rules.

“This reflected a change in the way that Uefa adjusted for Covid 19 losses during the 2022 reporting period, which allowed us to recognise only €15m of the €281m of revenues lost due to the pandemic within the FFP calculation.

“Post pandemic, the clubs’ revenues have recovered strongly and are forecast to reach a record level in the current financial year.

“The club continues to support the enforcement of rules to promote financial fair play and sustainability across domestic and European football.”

Does that mean they were done for losses of 266m euros?

Time Khaldoon started to put pressure on Uefa and the premier to look into united.

Get the narrative of cheats front and centre.

This might be of his doing.

Where there is money you get people who need to cheat will cheat.

IF our owner have cheated I’m a 100% certain other club will have as well.

If we haven’t cheated at all I’m sure most of the others have.

Sly Sports News running with 'minor breach' as well. Just like BBC Football.

The PR department at United has been working overtime today.

All clubs bend the rules. Only difference between us and them is that we had a nasty media baying for blood due to racism and their commercial interests. American clubs don’t want to spend money to compete. They want a closed shop due to a perceived entitled history were they receive a guarantee income and cherry pick players for peanuts off smaller clubs.

The way this is reported tells its own story. City are only guilty of winning and having an Arab owner. Greed/race/religion/profit is a nasty mix.
