Werent the fines mainly due to the previous administration or are they both to blame.

The agent charges from FA are under Roman.

We were fined by UEFA under BlueCo for some things, hotel sale and then something to do with squad ratio cannot remember the exact details. And if we don’t follow the guidelines over the next 4 years, it could go from £30m to £90m if I remember rightly.

Aston Villa were also fined around the same time.

Would they have ever found out considering it was done a while back under the previous owners and previous administration.?

This is an important consideration. Not only was it possible to hide these payments from authorities at the time, they were not even discovered when the club came under heightened scrutiny because Russian owned assets were sanctioned. It's clear therefore that such payments can be hidden relatively easily.

This means there is no way to be sure that other clubs have not engaged in the same activity. Indeed, given the competitive nature of the football industry and the insatiable greed of agents, I'm guessing that many, many, clubs are guilty too. If authorities can't find these payments, but are determined to stop them, it would be counterproductive to impose heavy sporting penalties. Doing that would only make clubs all the more determined to keep their mouths shut about their own regulatory breaches.

There must be penalties but I'm guessing that these are much more likely to be financial than they are to be sporting.

 Mohamed Kader Meïté

perhaps the next Osimhen or better

Jake Entwistle, SCOUTED’s striker expert, branded Mohamed Kader Meïté “the most exciting centre-forward prospect in Europe.” He is, Jake says, a leading example of modern football’s new favourite meta.

That meta is particularly profound in French football. Born in Créteil, a suburb of Paris, Meïté developed through a number of local junior teams before moving to Stade Rennais at the age of 15, the earliest at which players can move from their immediate locality to pursue opportunities elsewhere. The greater Paris region is an incredible producer of talent; almost every club the length and breadth of France profit from the capital’s exports.

Meïté has developed rapidly at Rennes. Scoring regularly for the U-19 and B teams, he led the former to a prestigious Coupe Gambardella triumph this year, as captain and top scorer, while featuring in first-team squads since making his senior debut in January.

His most notable moment in Britanny came this past weekend, when he carried a comeback against Olympique Lyonnais. He scored one, forced another, all as a second-half substitute in the primetime Sunday night slot. The cameo performance has gone viral on social media, and the intricacies of it underline why Jake is so excited about him. Let’s break it down, play by play.
