The English Football Thread

Chelsea were not allowed to appeal until after our summer transfer window. 

ManCASter City ban overturned. 
This means:

• 5th Spot won’t be qualified for the UCL
• FFP is non-existent this summer.
• Top 4 Will be difficult, next 3 games.
• UEFA are corrupt bastards . 

When Chelsea have a punishment, they accept what they’ve done, we missed out on 2 windows

The advertisements and sponsorship can all be traced back to the owners. That FACT is washed away. That's the biggest travesty in this....absolutely mental this.

As I said previously, no one should be surprised.

Just need to worry about ourselves on the pitch and do what we need to, to finish in the Top 4.

Fined almost 10 million pounds for failing to cooperate with the investigation.That speaks volumes about City wanting to HIDE something yet no punishment.

If a person committed a crime that was done 20 years ago, and they just found out this person did that crime in 2020, because it was 20 years ago they should just forget it? BS.
The excuse is BS. Even UEFA’s statement is BS. They should be punished for their crimes. City got away with murder.

FFP is dead, nothing works.

Footy in general has been dead for years thanks to criminal syndicates running the show, theyhave all this evidence yet gets off scot free, City refused to cooperate which is supremely fishy in itself, still nothing. They have all been bought and paid for.

How can the CAS look at those sponsorship deals and think they're perfectly legitimate? They have to explain that, ffs even the most blatant cheating is irrelevant now.

They just don't care because it was 6 years ago or so. They do not care about details

How does that in any shape or form make sense? Its just a way to fool the fans nothing more.

Yeah, it is probably to keep up the pretence that FFP is still actually a thing. This suits all the big teams and City themselves as it freezes out anyone who isn't already established. 

My hope is that today has killed off FFP. It is a cartel system used to keep the big boys big, and the medium/small teams in their place. If it was actually fair, they would say every club across Europe can spend x amount a year. Instead, they allow the big clubs to load up on debt and refuse to allow smaller teams inward investment that would essentially be gifted.

the only thing they care about is how much green they get under the table just to look the other way 💷👀

[Atomiswave 6,117]

Rival fans utterly disgusted by this as we are here......what a fucking joke footy has become.

La Liga Boss already said that CAS is not the right institution for football decisions. Legend

More will follow suit and something will be done one way or another.

FFP was already going to be relaxed if not completely gone this summer due to the virus. That plus now having the evidence that UEFA are toothless means that if clubs with unlimited money like City and PSG want to they can go ape shit.

Expect Pep will be buying at least 2 new hugely expensive defenders, finally buy a long term Aguero successor/replacement, and maybe even another expensive wide player to replace Sané.

[Special Juan 28,106]

They will now get Koulibaly and I rate Jesus massively, I don't think they will go for a top striker as it's not needed.

I expect two big signings for them.
