It does matter how much money you've got though rob because a smaller PL team cannot afford to spend anymore than they make because they're not backed by an Arab state.

Maybe, but there’s a lot of teams around Europe who do have the resources to spend more than they earn, it’s not just City.
Juve and RM have already been implicated in possible breaches.
There's a handful that can and will, but these handful are in the same boat as City in not wanting FFP. These clubs sticking 2 fingers up at UEFA and ignoring FFP doesn't solve anything for the clubs that support and adhere to FFP.

@BaZ87 What makes you think that Pep is confident the ban is being overturned?
Caporegime
What’s the point in supporting something that’s not implemented and punished properly?
If the likes of Real, Barca, Juve, PSG, Bayern etc all start ignoring it, what are UEFA gonna do, ban them all? That will never happen as some of them are the darlings of UEFA.

Rob you're missing the point here. It's clubs like Real, Barca and Bayern (along with Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal) that pushed for FFP to be implemented in the current form. These clubs don't have owners that either can or will pump cash into their clubs to spend over and above what they generate. They're not going to break FFP rules.
edit: When UEFA first stated talking about financial controls they wanted to put regulations on debt. Clubs could make as much losses as they liked but as long as they weren't in debt it was fine but the big sides didn't want that, they wanted regulations that protected themselves from another Chelsea, City, PSG coming along. They wanted a set-up that made it as cheap as possible for them to keep their spot at the top table.

Chelsea dropping the ball which means it is in our hands now. No doubt we will mess it up against Southampton.
I can see Wolves sneaking top four at this rate.

Southampton has been a bit of a bogey club for us for some time, they're on a great run away from home so it could be a tough game.

There are a few options.
Man Citys lawyers have found a way around it and know that legally they are in the clear.
He is bluffing.
Many City have bribed the right people and already know the decision.
Wonder which one I think is the most likely....

Brighton having a shocker

No KDB assist. Me sad
It could just be bravado, after all City have been very strongly proclaiming their innocence on this for the past 6 years and it's not stopped it getting this far. Pep coming out with this so close to the verdict made me wonder if he knows something. It has been reported that both City and UEFA will get told the verdict before it's made public but supposedly that's on the day rather than a week before.

Just saw the penalty, never a pen. Defender won the ball and Robertson kicked his tackling leg on the way through,
never a pen in a million years.

I'll ask you next week and you'll say it's a pen. You change your mind more than you change your pants Rob.
All MOTD pundits said it was a penalty.
Caporegime
I think it isn’t, you think it is, we’ll never agree, so no point discussing any further.
He didnt win the ball though. Thats the point.
Caporegime
The ball was clearly touched wide by the defenders leading leg. I cannot fathom how you can’t actually see that. Massive Liverpool blinkers on.
I think a number of posters could do with actually reading the laws of the game and realise that "touching" isnt winning the ball.
