That's what Hatem does. Takes all the attention from the other team and lets his teammates thrive.

About time the cheating bastards were dealt with.

 

True. But let them fuck the oil money cunts over first.

UEFA have opened an FFP investigation against Man City. 

Could this have any effect on their Premier League efforts too?

Bizarrely, I don't think so. Just like when Liverpool last challenged for the title.

He is perfect for them. Nobody in world football is better equipped to undertake a massive rebuild job at a club full of mercenary cunts from the boardroom to the bench.

 

THE BENCH!!

Stolen of Twitter, made me laugh anyway

 

Spurs beat Dortmund in Germany and Man Utd pull off a stunning comeback in Paris while Arsenal, trying to sneak a game in while we are all travelling home from work, have lost to a fucking heartburn tablet.

I hope LFC's lawyers are looking into this. It would be hilarious to have the title snatched from them, and anything else they've won.

I think we'll see the sum of fuck all happen to this disgusting club on the domestic front:

 

THE PREMIER LEAGUE

"In the Championship we’ve seen a number of transfer embargoes, the [£40m] fine to Queens Park Rangers, but on the evidence we have no rules have been broken," Dr Garcia says. "The Premier League may decide to do something similar but I think it’s really difficult to see that."

In any case, Premier League regulations allow for clubs to make losses of up to £105 million, whereas UEFA requires clubs to at least break even.

 

Domestically the PL would be better served investigating the Arabtec sponsorship deal.

It's been like MUTV in my office the last two mornings with the two Mancs in our place sitting together. One from Wigan and one from Warrington, going on about Cantona, Rooney, Scholes, Keane and Slur Alex. Yet the last five years they've barely wanted to talk about football because of Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho. Any attempt to even talk about football in general and not Liverpool they've still not been interested. 

 

It's as if they only want to support them or are interested in footy when they get a few good results. Evertonians are the same until Liverpool hit a bad patch or the Derby is looming. You never hear from them otherwise.

According to the Echo there are 12 Premier League clubs who will contact the FA over Man City's financial conduct. Doesn't say if Liverpool are one of them though. Also, the FA will need to investigate the £200,000 payment that they made to Jason Sancho's family to get him to sign for them which is illegal.

From my memory John Henry mentioned FFP as one of the main reasons he bought the club. Man City pissing all over them must have had an effect on the business model.

 

Those cunts paying Yaya Toure 220k a week in 2010 cost every club a fortune. The cunts moved the goalposts and it cost everyone involved. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

United were moving those goalposts long before city, the mutants.

With money they earned,  slight difference. 

 

If we weren't run like a tuc shop in the early 90s then we could have been competing with them. 

[magicrat]

I am encouraged that the FA are monitoring the situation. Nothing will slip past them I'm sure

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

They pay Aggie the tea lady £250 a week and she is sponsored by Emirates for £200m. They should have been jumped on years ago, they should be relegated or docked serious points. They won’t, palms will be greased again. The irony.

Much as I hate united, they are completely different to city and I dont know how you think they were moving the goal posts. Despite us being the first club in England to wear sponsored shirts and even refusing to wear non sponsored ones so ITV and BBC could transmit highlights of our games, we sat on our hands from then on as far as sponsorship went.

 

Some, and many still do, laughed at united when they started selling club branded key rings, cups, wallets etc, etc. Their income grew exponentially at a time when they were literally shit on the field. Meanwhile, we turned our noses up at such things.

 

Souey warned us all when he was manager about them. God forbid they get it right on and off the pitch, he said. And now here we are, trying to play catch up.

 

City, PSG and to a lesser extent chelsea are financial cheats. they are in reality no different from the Ben Johnsons or host of other athletes who cheat with perfromance enhancing drugs. The only difference is city, PSG, chelsea's and a few other club's performance enhancing substance is a never ending supply of money.

 

The FA and football authorities should have clamped down on this shit when abramovic rocked up and started chucking 'his' money around, buying up players, especially youth players to stop them going to competitor clubs. They sat on their hands and did nothing. And now someone bigger has come along only it is not one person, it is two countries wealth sustaining a club in different countries.

 

PSG continue to fail on the bigger stage because they have yet to appoint a truely good enough manager but also because they play in a pub league. city have the good manager and the competitive edge the PL brings. But they are where they are because of what is frankly nothing more than a kind of money laundering.

 

I hope city, PSG and the rest get banged to rights but Im not holding my breath.

PSG had Ancelotti as manager not so long ago, after he'd won a third Champions League title to draw level with Sir Bob. Hiring managers has not been their biggest issue, it's been the lack of competitive edge at the sharp end of the season from a squad that has been on easy street in the league.

Watford have asked the FA to keep them informed about the Jadon Sancho case.

Ancelotti won his third Champions League title after he managed PSG.

The lack of competitiveness doesn't help but the real problem is the club has no standards. The players treat the club like it's a vacation destination. Like the club is lucky to have all these top players and they can do whatever they want. Since Leonardo left they've also hired some absolute idiots to do their transfers.

Are they wrong?
