Football : Season 22-23

[iadom]

Don't think it was 113 different rules tbh. According to various reports it's either 113 or 115 breaches of various ffp rules. It will be interesting to see if this ever comes to a conclusion. City's highly paid lawyers eventually got UEFA to back off even though the emails and other documents the German press had uncovered seemed to be a smoking gun at the time. City and their lawyers are doing everything they can to delay proceedings by raising several objections to the proposed chair of the investigation who happens to be an Arsenal supporter. They have also objected to several of the alleged misdemeanours. I suppose it depends how much the Premier league is prepared to throw at it all.

I must add that as a lifelong United supporter you would think that I would be rubbing my hands at this, far from it. I am not sure I ever agreed with the introduction of the FFP rules in the first place as it was obviously done to try and protect an elite rather than for the good of football in general.

Same as VAR.


I think VAR probably contributed in all 4 matches Man U beat us in this season - though I don't think we were good enough to win any of them anyway. Sam Surridge being called offside by millimetres, and that Maguire hand ball which would be given against most teams...

Having looked it up, I think fines, and maybe points deduction, are the worst that will happen.
They are certainly not going to be stripped of titles, or expelled, anyone hoping for that is delusional.

Fines aren't exactly going to be much of a punishment. Any points deduction must be enough to rule them out of even the Europa League tournament and make that last for a few years.
No point having the rules, if the punishments are meaningless.

Thats never going to happen.

England won the European Under 21 Championship.

They last won it almost 40 years ago (in 1982 & 1984).
