I made a slightly tongue in cheek comment earlier comparing the uefa ffp ‘change rules’ of City and the £40m pinch, compared to the ‘change rules’ of united and the £257k fine.
Whatever the merits/lack of merits on the disparity of the fines, the big difference that BM has missed is that the 1st anyone knew about united getting fined was when the news was released that they had breached and had been found guilty. The news was yesterdays chip paper before the ink was dry.
Now… compare to how City’s FFP run-ins have occurred - City are charged, in the public eye , City are accused by rivals (clubs) and media of cheating, the head of the investigation announced City are guilty before evidence is even discussed, UEFA are urged to act before the charges are confirmed as fact by our rivals, City withdraw cooperation due to the incessant leaks from cartel affiliated officials at UEFA, uefa announce City are guilty and banned for 2 years with another massive fine, media and rivals rejoice. City take it to CAS and get completely exhonerated on all counts, including on issues that didn’t fall under CAS because they were ‘time barred’, media and rivals accuse city of bribery and corruption of CAS.
And now we’re currently in the middle of the PL ffp stuff, and it also is out in the open, despite the PL’s wishes (yes PL , not just City)… fuck me, it’s a complete corruption of the football cartel heirachies and the poodle media
