Greg Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Man City statement "Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by today’s announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber. The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position. In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver. The Club has formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling. Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity."

Stifler Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Assuming the champions league place passes down does that mean Sheffield United are on for a Champions League spot? Imagine how bad they’ll fume at this when they get 5th spit, a place in the Champions League, and lose it to Man City’s appeal. Two teams who have not played by the rules and screwed Sheffield United each time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don’t the elite exist precisely because of the ridiculous financial situation? It’s barely a sport if the only way to compete is to get a Sheik to put £400m a year in.

Guest Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Instead of banning clubs trying to win stuff, I wish they’d ban clubs where the owners do the opposite and just try and exist (like us). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 UEFA playing a dangerous game with this City will throw as much money as necessary through as many courts as it takes to fight this and if UEFA lose it basically discredits ffp as a thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The theory of ffp is fine the reality is its designed to prevent the old money of europe bring knocked off their perch.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just highlights that the sport is completely broken at the top level. Arguing against FFP so that new clubs can buy the title just shows what a mad situation we’re in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only reason Man City could compete consistently was doing it they way they did. Tough shit. What Man CIty have done is make it even harder for anyone else to get in. It’s also not guaranteed they wouldn’t have been able to do it without Sheikh Mansour. Don’t get me wrong they wouldn’t have dominated in the way they have, but they have always been a big club, with good owners they’d have been capable of challenging For Champions league spots. I mean Leicester have done it with fewer means at their disposal. With average /forward thinking owners we would have too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguing against FFP so that new clubs can buy the title just shows what a mad situation we’re in. Would Man City have ever had a chance of achieving what they did? Why shouldn’t they be allowed? You’d get the odd ‘blip’ every 25 years maybe but ultimately we’d be sitting watching the same clubs winning everything over and over. UEFA created this beast with the Champions League (clearly to favour and protect the elite), so when an entity like Man City comes along and upset the apple cart, they don’t like it.

Without the sheikh cash what would have happened is the moment city even got close to cl places the rich clubs pick apart the team like vultures. The rich get richer and everyone else is there to make up the numbers. Fuck modern football and everything it stands for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
