Looks like a “siege mentality” is the order of the day at City for the rest of the season.
Seems like EVERYONE waxes lyrical about the quality of the football, the quality of the players (esp. their ability to be so flexible on the park), and yet EVERYONE appears to believe that City are Johnny Come Latelys who have spent a few quid too many in an attempt to not be shut out of the small group of clubs anointed as “European Royalty” by the money men at UEFA...one of whom ran our direct competitor for donkeys’ years, and whose teams has fallen on hard times recently, just as we have been breaking into the top FINANCIAL LEAGUE through both our on field performances and an aggressive commercial sponsorship program.
FFP is bent. It SHOULD be focused on teams getting loaded up with debt, not debt-free clubs who are able to attract some of the highest quality equity investors in the world from China. Then again...Middle East and China appear to be the biggest nightmare for Euro punks. Too bad FIFA, the OTHER bunch of corrupt bastards, doesn’t run the game here, as EVERYONE KNOWS QATAR BOUGHT THE WORLD CUP, so “money schmoney” as long as they get their cut!
Lest anyone is not keeping track of the global health of the game, it is getting increasingly entangled in multinational commercial schemes designed to MILK THE GAME FOR ALL ITS WORTH before the star fades from lack of enthusiasm for the “product” they are creating.
Just as City are investigated, so UEFA adds hundreds of millions of € to the CL pool, then CREATES A NEW COEFFICIENT OUT OF THIN AIR that awards prize money based on the LAST TEN YEARS, NOT THIS YEAR’S SUCCESS!?!?!?! So, what does that do to City? Slides us down to #14 on the list and slides United UP TO #5!!!
You simply can’t make up this level of socialism in the name of propping up UEFA’s old guard with the money being generated by growing clubs like City!
The minute ANY negative “legal” action is taken against the club, City’s owners should file a MULTIBILLION EURO LAWSUIT against UEFA...THEN LETS SEE WHO CAME TO PLAY AND WHO DIDN’T!
Strong letter to follow...!
