OK I'll bite.

So what happens if the money suddenly disappears from City. The club would literally collapse.

Why is the transfer market so inflated currently?

Allowing clubs to basically ignore the normal rules of sustainability and organic growth is dangerous. When you remove the link between revenue and expenditure you are asking for trouble. It will work out OK in some circumstances but its very stupid.

How is this money dissapearing? Magic? The club would still be sold and still have assets. If they can guarantee they cannot leave the club in debt so what. Let's not pretend City are the reason the market is inflated.

Are you literally calling Liverpool a disease? :/

So have you not seen what Liverpool fans say about City over and over with no reprimand. Again they didn't give a toss when they were not up against them. When they were spending and fighting United or Chelsea, all was good. Now it's against them with all their pure money earned from helping orphans, it's slavery comments etc etc.

Ah of course. That makes perfect sense why you should make that type of comment.

And actually no, i haven't seen what Liverpool fans say about City over and over again. Do you mean on this forum or are you expecting me to be aware of every single comment that occurs on and off the internet?

In summary, you're better than that (i hope) so don't bother speaking rubbish just because others do it.

City have won the appeal, there will be no european ban. Knew it. The fine is reduced too, down to 10m

FFP is finished. They broke it yet they havent been banned. Yea ok.

Mark1989 · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:36

Utter joke, FFP is now an utter waste of time.

Kelt · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:36

Unbelievable.

Converge · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:36

That is outrageous! They must’ve used VAR for that decision.

XeNoN89 · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:36

I am so shocked!

Azza · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:37

Not surprised. FFP has always been a joke.

Andybtsn · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:37

Good stuff

I didn’t want KDB etc leaving

Creative accounting now allowed. Excellent...just wait for New York FC to buy Aguero off them for 150mil this summer.

What a joke.

manic111 · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:39

So they've been fined 1/7th of a Rodri. What a joke!

byeo · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:40

Big club get's a decision go their way shocker.

What a joke

So many brown envelopes were involved. People forget just how corrupt footballing bodies are. There is a reason we are playing a world cup in a desert in two years.

chrismscotland · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:47

Might as well scrap the FFP rules; have they ever actually been enforced?

MadMan-JaMeS · 13 Jul 2020 at 09:48

So does that mean Champions League places are only whoever gets into the top 4 ?

Yep

The fine is another joke, said it for years the fines they had out are pathetic it's pocket change to big clubs.

UEFA barely had any respect from any one but this is another nail in there coffin for how useless they are.

should have had enough information to ensure CAS couldn't of over turned anything.
