It was inevitable. They are dodgy as fuck!

[LAM09 7,051]

City could follow similar punishment aswell.

[DrKojo 25]

We got Mourinho. Who do you got? I bet he is kissing Alex's bald head right now.

Ok you have Mourinho, ok he's good and so what ? Players on the field will make the game, not Mourinho.

Don't worry for us about FFP. For now, UEFA is looking at the partnership we got with Qatar Tourism (200M€/year). If (yes if) they reject it, we'll find something else. And anyway first years clubs can lose money. Clubs won't be banned from UEFA competition beafore probablly 3 or 4 years. So we have plenty of time to make something up.

Can't wait til wednesday to see how we gonna crush you at home !!

It takes more than 3-4 years to make the move to profitability after inflating the clubs wages. Most clubs can incur debt many times over what FFP outlines and still consider themselves a viable business. Especially the massive clubs, they have no problem with debt financially but FFP its about principles. It akes more than 3-4 years for your clubs profitibility to catch up to the increased wages that comes with these take overs. Sure investors could easily cover the bill but FFP is there to make sure clubs can't spend more than they are worth or generating. These take overs generally increase the appeal of the club especially internationally and eventually the club's revenue gets closer to the wage spike, but that took us (ChelseaFC) like 10 years before that happened. City is doing it a bit faster than us but PSG will probably take longer than 10 years, especially if they keep up their current pattern. Big clubs that already have their feet on the ground in terms of big club revenue love FFP, essientially it makes it harder for billionaires to transform a club unless it already has a decent revenue platform to work with. Being France's big club I may be underestimating their momentum but the FFP window is 3 seasons which isn't enough time to increase revenues by over 100m, City look more likely to dodge FFP than PSG.

Don't you worry. I suggest that you not take the threat seriously. As the previous French man said, PSG may find a way around It.

Qatar has emerged as one of the few bright spots for tourism in the Middle East. PSG has been chosen to promote Qatar in the world. The latest figures show that the tourism industry in Qatar keeps moving in an upward trajectory.

It seems to me that the deal seems to be valid. Two hundred million euros a year is impressive, that's why a lot of people get jealous.

Isn't your Owner part of the sponsor?

Considering I do live in Qatar, I will agree with the fact that PSG is being used like Barcelona had been to improve Qatar's stature in the footballing world. However Khelaifi (the man is brilliant btw, hi5'ed me once during a QTF game ) helped QIA take over PSG completely, the reason why two hundred million euro's are present as a sponsorship deal. It's kinda nonsensical to have your owners sponsor you.

If UEFA did have an external enquiry , then PSG would most definitely be in trouble along with City. Chelsea should escape even after having Gazprom as their sponsors.

Do you honestly believe that the tourism figures are increasing because PSG are promoting it? Fucksake. Brainwashed.

I think he did say the truth. PSG, Barcelona have both helped with their respective partnerships with Qatar Foundation, Oredoo, Qatar Airways QIA, QNB, and so on. PSG also played a game with Real over here . Even if the promotion is minute, Qatar needs it. They did have an analysis on it with numbers thrown and stuff. It's worse in the newspapers over here Since PSG's got drawn with Chels, all I've heard is propaganda that makes Chelsea look like the devil's offspring. They don't care about their own national league when it comes to Barcelona and PSG..

I remember the invasion of Gala fans…..that ended well.

You have no clue about Qatar or its tourism do you?

[magiczlatan 15]

It is not a belief. I do not do my research by proclamation rather than investigation; I was just reporting the facts.

I can tell you that I love Qatar much more than I did 3 years ago. By the way, Qatar has made a lot of other investments in France; for example, in French companies and real estate.

Anyway, I was watching Nice-PSG (0-1). PSG won their last 9 games. The good news is that they had a lot of scoring opportunities, and no one got injured. However, Lavezzi is the weakest link in the team. We missed too many chances; It worries me a little bit.

Overall, I am more optimistic today than I was last week. So, It's fifty-fifty—oh, never mind that's not important, GN!

Chelsea, here we come! Come what may, It's just entertainment.

Tbh, he's not wrong. Obviously, it's not PSG alone, but they are a factor. Al Jazeera Sports (now BeIN Sports) is another factor...and about half of France! The government is using this policy of making big investments in popular brands to increase the profile of the country. And it's working for them. Not just for tourism. I don't think they would have won the 2022 WC bid if it weren't for those investments and their resulting "connections".

Anyway, on topic, Thiago Silva was back for PSG today wearing a mask, so he's definitely fit for Tuesday. They scrapped a 1-0 win against Nice. They were far from impressive, tbh. Silva looks like a man among boys in their defense.

[Jase 43,479]

Thiago Silva is back for PSG. Played 90 minutes against Nice tonight where PSG won 1-0 through Cavani.

They play Nice and win with one goal

We play Arsenal and win with 6 goals
