The Official Financial Fair Play (FFP) Thread

[mayday]

This is now far more about Sheik Mansours reputation being in the gutter on a world stage rather than him giving a fuck about City as a football entity or the prem.

Let's wait for the punishment lol.
It'll be a slap on the wrists with a feather.

In such a scenario the big dogs in Abu Dhabi aren't just going to roll over and take it.

As well as contesting the bits they can legally they might also threaten, privately or in public, to walk away from the club...and pull various non-footballing levers in the UK economy.

And so it begins...

They are only making themselves look like bigger chests with this bollocks.
Of course it will probably get politicians shitting their pants but anyone with an ounce of grey matter can see through this absolute fuckery.

The prem simply has to see this through on their grounds and not the cheats.

This is exactly why nation states are catastrophic as owners.

Could you imagine the fuckery going on at government level behind the scene's with the UAE making threats to make this go away.

I get what you mean but again I was only saying he didn't mention football or charges just the good they have done for the city.

Which is why I added the (and what he doesn't say) bit

Saw a great quote today with regards to what they've done to rob players and fans of special moments...

During the Lance Armstrong cheating years, can you tell me the names of the cyclists who came second?

The dirty cheating bastards didn't just cheat themselves to a win, they've rendered over a decade of the PL irrelevant

Unfortunately a share of the runners-up weren't angels either - e.g. Ullrich, Basso.
Dunno can the comparison be extended to the PL

Aye Carragher made the point he never looks at his medals ( no epl medals Jamie). But he does remember the moments shared with team mates, family and friends afterwards.

That can never be repaid. It's kind of why I was a bit stunned at Klopp's non comments.
