This is due to it breaking anti-competitive laws as it does not allow external investment/prevents/restricts private investment. What anti-competitive laws are you talking about? I am no expert in law or the FFP but FFP is there to basically restrict clubs from spending money in uncontrollable manner (duh!) and ensure clubs spend within their means etc. Several clubs over the years have already been punished by UEFA for breaking the FFP rules. AC Milan got banned from Europe last year, for example. So, it's not like the FFP is just for show. Acquired legally or not, City tampered with their accounts to get around the FFP rules. If their ban gets overturned completely, hell is gonna come for UEFA. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How FFP is a grey area and how it may be contrary to EU competition laws: https://www.asser.nl/SportsLaw/Blog/post/the-evolution-of-uefa-s-financial-fair-play-rules-part-1-background-and-eu-law-by-christopher-flanagan How illegal evidence may be thrown out*: https://www.thelawyer.com/illegally-obtained-evidence-lawyers/ *there are much better articles than this one but I cannot be bothered to find them. As for other FFP decisions. Those have not been challenged via a legal basis like City are doing. FFP has been approached so far as an agreement and not a legally enforceable law.

Unlikely that Frank is taking him with the expectation that he'll play, but I'm delighted that Lewis is getting another sight of the matchday squad. I really like the look of this player. killer1257 and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with Zouma, Rudiger and later Zouma Tomori when he's back Midfield 3 will probably Kova-mount Jorgi I don't think lamp is comfortable playing two attacking cm in front of jorgi.

I like him a lot. I've posted the opinion that he is more talented than Gilmour which attracted some comment. When you see him play my bet is that you'll agree. We have to remember however that just being more talented does not mean he'll necessarily become the better player. That doesn't automatically follow but all other things being equal more talent will give an advantage. I've also posted the idea that if we could somehow grab Bellingham ahead of Dortmund, or manage to take him from there at some point, then Bate, Bellingham and Kova will make a good midfield in three years time.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I have a feeling this will be one of those games where we are on the edge of our seats again. Sheffield are a good side and set up well, we must be at this from the off. OhForAGreavsie and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Still Not confident with That back line 🙈 also Abraham is always a risk of floating out of the game. Let’s hope he is up for it Vesper, Johnnyeye, Strike and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kante 1,643 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Why is Tammy starting? If ever there was a game to start Giroud, this is it. Johnnyeye, NikkiCFC, kellzfresh and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Giroud can not start every game as he is 33 but Tammy starting is always a risk, like when he did fuck all vs west ham so I would also prefer to have Giroud. Abraham would be a good fit vs Norwich. however it seems Giroud can deliver anytime whilst Tammy he needs the momentum DDA, Johnnyeye and Blues11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomiswave 6,117 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Kova should be there if fit, and Tammy need a huge performance here. Johnnyeye and Blues11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Sheffield have o Connell back which will be huge for them he is the heart of their def hope he is rusty and has a shit game Johnnyeye and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues11 213 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Just want to see Tammy to be positive here. His body language sucks when he gets frustrated, really feel that impacts his game. Giroud could use a shorter shift so we'll need Tammy. Johnnyeye and Atomiswave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I know Giroud is getting on, but he should be starting every game bar injury at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I want Tammy to score and do well here but I have this feeling that with Sheffield being like they are, strong and robust and take no shit I just hope this isn't an arm throwing day for Tammy.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Lampard has taken a risk today. Hopefully it pays off. Tactically Abraham should be making runs to stretch the three centre backs of Sheffield. But I hope he's ready to contest for balls and not put a weak performance like he did against west ham Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
