  1. Smart move. Hes learned from Kanes mistake. He signs that deal theres no chance of moving cause they'll demand a fee nobody would pay. It also forces WH to keep investing and improving the team to keep him happy. Once he's locked up they can do what they like.

  2.  @sombody9471  all you do is cry on YouTube
    67
  3. Of course he denied it. What's he going to say "yea a had a temper tantrum because I've been playing terrible but still expect to play"?
    58
  4. Chelsea broke FIFA rules like 200 times and they got a transfer ban.
    49
  5. ​@MTSG which is the problem. They claim he can't be "political" but it's OK to be "politcal" when they agree with it.
    47
  6. Theres talk Agnelli has been fired from Juve. This is getting crazy.
    40
  7. Cfc did the same thing, the response was very different
    35
  8. Marmoush has been a huge factor. City really lack goal scorers. Theyve lost so many double digit goalmscorers and replaced them with guys that only score 1 or 2 a year. Especially with Haaland out.
    32
  9. No, that's utd.
    28
  10.  @manen.1350  TBF all your top players are injured and why woukd they be expected to beat lfc, City and spurs anyway? Expectations have been out of sorts for a while. They dont spend money, half the teams injured and he's supposed to be able to compete with lfc?
    26
  11. ​ @seekemploymentseekemployme5422  that why you're here crying?
    23
  12. But utd pays better.
    22
  13. Yep and it was heavily criticized. Everyone seems to love this. It's almost like people don't actualy care about what clubs do unless it's a successful club and they compete with the club they support.
    21
  14.  @Hopeless_21  and Chelsea make 500m so what? Chelsea didn't have any players on 800k a week either.
    20
  15.  @shotarodeniet3301  minor occurance? 2 onside goals ruled offside. 1 offside goal ruled inside. Then there's the crazy decisions int he Naooli game, the Lyon game and going back to Peps time with Bayern and Barca. Its hardly 1 game and they were major decisions that impacted the games.
    19
  16. To quite William Munny "deserves got nothing to do with it". No club "deserves" to win anything. You earn it.
    18
  17. But he's got a personal vendetta with Pep and he's an anti Catalonian. He's made absurd decisions in every game.
    16
  18. ​ @Fondrom  Southampton just beat City
    16
  19. But all these changes are at the behest of the clubs trying to satisfy them.
    16
  20. Hes won the same number of PL as Ranieri. What you're saying is Klopp has been an unadulterated failure. The best manager with the best CB, best Fbs, best forwards could only win 1 PL in 8 seasons. That's a failure.
    15
  21. Doesn't matter. He's under contract.
    15
  22. Clearly he wasn't a good signing. 70m to score 3 goals is bad.
    14
  23. ​@DoyleArmstrong41 where's your evidence?
    14
  24. So why didn't he tell Sterlimg that 2 months ago?
    13
  25.  @ibraheemmonks8866  don't have unlimited funds or they'd have signed Kane last summer. Hes basically free since they sold Torres for 55m.
    13
  26. Keep crying
    13
  27. Hes going nowhere. Nobody is gonna pay 150m for him.
    13
  28. ​@MTSG which is the problem. They claim he can't be "political" but it's OK to be "politcal" when they agree with it.
    12
  29. He clearly was a big problem. Made the team worse. Finished 2nd before he arrived, 6th with him, 3rd after he left.
    11
  30. Mate they scored 2 after City made 5 subs and the game was over.
    11
  31. All the ex refs do that. I don't see the point paying them for their opinions when their opinion is simply to back the ref that made the call. I've seen Peter Walton multiple times say "it's definitely not a penalty" then the ref give a pen and instantly, he continues "its absolutely a penalty". Like 3 seconds earlier he wasn't making the exact oposite argument.
    11
  32. It's not. City have a 40m buyback next year and a 20% sell on clause. If Southampton sell for less than 50m they lose money. Why would they do that?
    10
  33. So human rights is "nonsense"?
    10
  34. Can't because he always plays 5 at the back and 2 DMs. So theyres no 8 for Foden to play off. Southgate wants to play like LFC without the LFC forwards. Sterling isn't good on the counter. He can't score 1 on 1. Foden isn't a pace merchant. Unless he changes the formation Foden won't Excell and England won't win anything.
    10
  35. It would only start in the 2024-25 season but City aren't charged with PSR so it wouldn't matter even if it didn't.
    10
  36. I don't think they can play both. Need more legs in midfield to cover the defense. The DM is weak, the defense is weak.
    10
  37. How has he avoided a job he hasn't been offered? Conte hasn't been sacked.
    10
  38. I dont think this should be a penalty, but I've seen this exact same situation be awarded penalties at least twice in the UCL in the last 5-6 years and both times everyone said it was 100% a penalty. The way the media moans or affirms decisions based on their personal allegiences or the day of the week annoys me to death.
    10
  39. It sounds fishy. Last week Spurs were asking 150m. So why is it now 160m? So last week's reports of what Spurs were asking for were wrong which seems strange since it was clearly coming from Spurs?
    9
  40. At the end of the day it's about trophies especially when the club hasn't won any in a long time. It has a real effect going forward. Pushing the team to demand more from themselves. Sure the money from top 4 will allow the club to spend more and strengthen the team but if they win the cup it will push them forward this year and next.
    9
  41. "It could have been different if Bayern had takennthiernchnaces" sure and it coukd have been 10-0 if City took all thier chances. Hate that stupid argument.
    9
  42. Because they're trumped up charges and they'll be cleared again.
    9
  43. ​ @fishjungle9  and it's not 2010 anymore mate
    9
  44. "Before deciding to stay" lol he didn't decide anything. Kane wanted to leave and Spurs said no.
    9
  45. Where's he going to go? Utd were the only club that wanted him last year.
    9
  46. Just what we need. More actors pretending to be fans, saying ridiculous things they dont believe to farm engagement.
    9
  47. ​ @davewood1982 how do you know? What's the evidence?
    8
  48. You should learn about FFP and PSR because you clearly don't understand how it works.
    8
  49. ​@AkiraX474I find it funny that you lot argue nobody can compete with City and they never lose but somehow they're also not the best team. How does that work?
    8
  50.  @JayVee53  nonsense. Its Real and utd that started this whole free spending model years ago. Psg has just been better at it. Real and Barca are the only ones throwing crazy wages around. That's why they're in this position not transfers.
    8
  51. ​@msatti3013 what's the evidence they're guilty?
    8
  52. How is it scorched earth to challenge the lawfulness of rules? They were right last time.
    8
  53. ​ @jakim2020 based on what? You don't seem to get how transfers work. Players don't have intrinsic value. Napoli aren't looking for a "fair price". They're not interested in selling. So if you want him they have to make it worth it. It's like if someone showed up to buy your car that's not for sale and offering the "fair value".
    8
  54. They want the money but not the games.
    8
  55. ​@mikelfc12 what competition? When utd won 15 of 25 league titles? That competition? Football has always been about money. Utd were successful because they spent more. They still spend more than everyone, they're just incompitant at spending. Chelsea spend big. Arsenal spend big. Hopefully NUFC can spend big. Lfc spend big. That's much better than just utd and lfc spending big. Since you're so worried about competition I'm sure you're in favornof a hard cap where utd, lfc and Bournemouth spend the same right?
    7
  56. They haven't been found guilty of anything so how would they be sanctioned?
    7
  57. Why does the premiere league need a good Utd? Such snobbery.
    7
  58. 3 players = new team? Marmoush is the only consistent regular starter of the 3.
    7
  59. Not been proven. Can't have action before charges are proven.
    7
  60. Did he play in the game?
    7
  61. You dont know what a super league is.
    7
  62. So it's cheating to question the legality of a rule? Weird how they were right last time.
    7
  63. Any evidence of that?
    7
  64. What do you want them to say? Nothing has changed. They've not been found guilty of anything.
    7
  65. ​@blueshadow62 still laughing at him saying KDB was a waste of money. Lol
    7
  66. So what? If it doesn't make Russia withdrawal we should do nothing? The reason Putin has done it is because there's been no action taken in the past. Putting criminals in jail hasn't stopped crime so shall we stop bothering with that too? We do what we can to make things as untenable as possible.
    7
  67. In 26 years. Pep has a better win % and has won 6 in 8 years and a ucl. Plus a treble, domestic treble, 4 in a row and 100 points.
    7
  68. And yet utd and cfc with unlimited money can't. Lol
    7
  69. They'll be cleared again. What will you talk about then?
    7
  70. Because you don't understand ffp.
    7
  71. ​ @YTA5690 they were 2 of the best DMs in the world. Utd have average and below average players.
    7
  72.  @mumsspaghetti6649  it's not because where he's from. Its because his money comes from and goes to the government of Russia.
    7
  73. Because it wasn't against the rules. Didn't you read the title? They've just passed this rule.
    7
  74. Why would they? It's a perfectly reasonable business practice to link businesses. Funny you didn't mention Everton, Bayern, Leicester etc.. that all do it as well.
    7
  75. Everton were found to not be honest.
    6
  76. Hes not a FB. City havent bought a FB in 6 years.
    6
  77. Of course it matters. Goals change games. It doesn't matter if they weren't at thier peak. They only have to be better than the oposition and they were.
    6
  78. ​@MTSG which is the problem. They claim he can't be "political" but it's OK to be "politcal" when they agree with it.
    6
  79. What's competitive about it? They've got 1 good team.
    6
  80. Because that rule wasn't in place then.
    6
  81. Because they're one of the top teams.
    6
  82. ​@Fionn MacCuill Alvarez, Bernardo, Zinchenko, Diaz, etc...
    6
  83. Yea because arguing a rule is illegal is totaly on par with what you're claiming. Lol can't wait to see your tears when they win the PL case.
    6
  84. Then why did he lose his job to the 5th choice cb?
    6
  85. Whats that supposed to mean?
    6
  86. Another racist I see.
    5
  87. Inter may win but it'll never be an easy game for them.
    5
  88. It makes sense. Theyve already got a state of the art stadium so that's money they wouldn't have to spend. They're not far from top 4 and would be able to invest heavily. It's a London based club. Etc.. loads of good reasons for Spurs.
    5
  89. ​@SeanDOCLFC why woukd the other clubs be tying to help City?
    5
  90. Of course they do because clubs arent going to play backups. The TV companies don't want to see backups. The fans don't want to see backups. They all want to see the elite players. That's why they pay elite money to broadcast them.
    5
  91. Why would Barca want him back?
    5
  92. Weird take when it's the other clubs adopting illegal rules.
    5
  93. Everyone could have spent that if they spent nothing in the summer like City.
    5
  94.  @t2d748  because I know how the law works?
    5
  95.  @regpane  I don't think that's the point. Nobody thinks this is going to force Russia out of Ukraine.
    5
  96. What's arsenal winning this year?
    5
  97. Way more. I saw a stat that showed it's 4 or 5k more on average.
    5
  98.  @letsplaypokemongo3153  How is human rights political?
    5
  99. You drew at home.
    5
  100. So why can't utd and cfc with limitless money?
    5
  101. No chance losing against west ham.
    5
  102. Sterling was poor his last year and a half at City. Who's been poor? Laporte just won the Euros. Palmer was up for POTY. Jesus is exactly what he was at City. A player that works hard for the team but can't score. Zinchenko was a squad player that was good going forward but can't defend. How's he changed?
    5
  103.  @userjim83  City wrent interested the first time why would they be now? Hes not starting for City so it makes no sense.
    5
  104. Because nobody wants to watch the 16th best player on a team playing loads of games.
    5
  105. What else is fifa supposed to do? Invade russia? They're a football governing body so they can only effect football.
    5
  106. ​ @jonnyhull7860 because they've not been found guilty of anything.
    5
  107. ​@RandyYashmanth yes. City haven't even been accused of failing PSR. All you have to do is read the published finances to see they're not anywhere close to failing PSR. You just don't understand what PSR is.
    5
  108. What a great idea. Let's have Utd win the league 12 years in a row just like Bayern. Amazing.
    5
  109. You mean Touchmani that spent last year on the bench? Valverde isn't a DM.
    5
  110. But EUFA is just these same cartel clubs. They do what they say. Its run by David Gill(Utd), Rummenigge(bayern), Tebas(Spanish league), AL Khelaifi(PSG). Let's not pretend they're some 3rd party. It's just doing the rich clubs bidding.
    5
  111. They did try to stop Man City. But interestingly they didn't care about lcfc, nufc and Everton.
    5
  112. It's not a solution at all. Tv broadcasters want to see the top players.
    5
  113. City aren't charged with PSR
    4
  114. Yes, Everton, utd, etc.. are trying to help City. Definitely lol
    4
  115. ​@jmc4577 They don't want experts. They want dopes to say stupid things they don't mean to create controversy and get ingagement. It's the Skip Bayless-ification of sports. Rory has clearly modeled himself from him. Just saying idiocy things he clearly doesn't believe like "Haaland will be lucky to score 10 goals in all comps". Nobody can honestly think that was his honest opinion.
    4
  116. He’s been rubbish for a year.
    4
  117. ​ @ai5322 because they haven't. They're chokers.
    4
  118. 1st or 2nd? You've really been hiting the sauce. afc finished 5th last year. 25 points below City and City have added Haaland and lfc have added Nunez. 3rd would be a great season.
    4
  119. But LFC never spends and works on a shoestring budget?
    4
  120. Everyone said the same thing 2 summers ago. Keep hoping.
    4
  121. Because theyhave no evidence.
    4
  122. And it would have to be approved by the fa and uefa anyway. They said the same garbage when City bought the NYC club and they never had any players sold either way. It's another nothing burger.
    4
  123. Because a super league would have killed the domestic leagues.
    4
  124. Because they know a big chunk of the fans are racists and they don't want to anger them because all they care about is money.
    4
  125. He finished top 4 because there was less competiton. Lfc weren't spending then. Everton weren't spending. He started the slide.
    4
  126. Do you have any evidence this happens? Can you give an example of this sport washing claim?
    4
  127. ​ @whoknew2273 difference is Everton were found guilty City haven't.
    4
  128. Seeing as how there's no chance of Villa winning a trophy its a moot point.
    4
  129.  @Joeyplaysguitar1082  likely? Lol Villa finished 11th.
    4
  130. ​ @hudson7354  so they're allowed to spend money they dont have because they were a top team longer? Is that how it works?
    4
  131.  @ralphlauren7339  yea nobody ever said anything bad about City. It's roses and rainbows 8 days a week.
    4
  132. Thry won't disappear. The FA will fail to prove thier claim because they have nomevidence.
    4
  133. People have been saying that for 15 years. They're greedy like every other billionaire. They want to make money.
    4
  134. Keep crying
    4
  135. Lol what did they win last year?
    4
  136. Theres no such thing as fair. Oishiman will cost double what they offered for Kane.
    4
  137. Because you guys complain about clear yellow and red cards.
    4
  138. Yea working on that shoestring budgett spending 80m on a striker, 50 on a winger, 80m on a keeper etc...
    4
  139. That's not how it works. It has to be fair market value.
    4
  140. How soft have you gone that youre outraged at a rainbow?
    4
  141. So it's not about quality. It's just about longevity?
    4
  142. He had a few big hamstring unjuries that have taken their toll. His problems at home can't be helping. I had a mate that fought in the UFC who was sleeping in his finished basement with the dresser pushed against the door in case his wife tried to stab him in his sleep. In a shocker, he didn't win that fight. Not saying Walkers problems are the same, but stress at home no matter what level ain't good for your focus and intensity.
    4
  143. Saw what coming? If they bougth players what would happen? This is all from years ago not relevant to this year.
    4
  144. Because it's not about fixing the stadium. It's about putting in luxury seating they can charge crazy money for.
    4
  145.  @ShutThePuck  wrong. Every transfer they've completed will be amortized. Any transfer going forward won't be able to be done on an 8 year contract.
    4
  146.  @Charlton2010  There was no ban in the works at the time of the sale. Mikan had no knowledge of him being under investigation. You can't say "take back" because a player turns out to have done things in the past.
    4
  147. You're clueless
    4
  148. In what way? Pep has dominated more than Fergie. He's done what everyone said can't be done. Play a possesion based game in England. Everyone has copied him down the leagues.
    4
  149. Seriously? Do you live under a rock? Did you miss when Lacazetta got racially abused by another player in a eurooa league game a couple weeks ago? Missed the monkey chants for the last 30 years? After every game people racially abusing players on social media?
    4
  150. What club that can afford 250m transfer can't afford his wages?
    4
  151. They just dropped points yesterday. Are they not supposed to cover Europe league games?
    3
  152. @topearemu6760  Like they didn't criticize Potter, Moyes etc...? You're living on fantasy island. He's spent more than any manager and finished 8th. Failed to get out of the UCL group last year. He's been awful.
    3
  153. Can't get away with anything you haven't been found guilty of. Charges are claims. What's the evidence the claims are true?
    3
  154. Yes it was his incredible ambitions that he tried to sign with Napoli. Lol
    3
  155. It doesn't mean that at all. A buyback isn't a guarantee. The player has to agree. If he refuses they can sell to anyone else.
    3
  156. ​ @GermanChickenwing City don't want him.
    3
  157. It doesn't matter. Rashfords movement is to the ball and he impacts the defender.
    3
  158. She isn't his grandmother.
    3
  159. They don't have any good players.
    3
  160. ​ @King-yu4rh  because they qualified for the ucl more times than utd in the last 7 years.
    3
  161. Arsenal can't afford him. But what players say should be taken with a grain of salt. People said the same about Pep wanting to manage arsenal and Utd, but he chose City. Players and managers just say stuff to be polite and tell the fans what they want to hear. Every time a player signs he claims I was his lifelong dream, then says the same the next club he signed for. It's just PR.
    3
  162. ​ @Dreamer-cb9zo  it doesn't matter how much money they have. What matters is how much they're willing to lose.
    3
  163. But they're corrupt as well. Theyve got a vested interest to milk the fans and make rules that funnel the mo ey to them and away from the rest of football.
    3
  164. @atletico ATM  how was he "hateful to arabs and Qatar"? He said Qatar shouldn't have held the WC. So what. That's his opinion and he's free to feel that way. When did Qatar "prove him wrong"? So its OK to deny an entire group of people access to the WC so that a region can hold a WC? No region has a devine right to hold a competition.
    3
  165. Not going to make any money on Keppa or Cucurella because of amortization.
    3
  166. maybe the other 2 are options.
    3
  167. How? The PL rules were found to be illegal. The PL decided to rush through amended rules before they knew exactly what was legal and illegal despite City and a few other clubs telling them they should just wait for the final judgement. What a stunner they pushed through illegal rules again.
    3
  168. @mazdakmina9493  what's you're evidence for this claim because eufa had no evidence at all to support that claim. The PL has no new evidence.
    3
  169. ​@pablodrogo City aren't charged with PSR. This is PSR not FFP.
    3
  170.  @edwardbellamy5154  does this really make sense in your head? The PL wants to protect City while they've simultaneously charged them with 115 charges?
    3
  171. Prove it.
    3
  172. Not sure theres a real plan at Barca. Going from Abamayang and Torres to Lewendowski and Raphinha, whos now looking to leave. Seems pretty scatter brained to me.
    3
  173. Arsenals group was way easier, Madrid and Barca's were all easier. There was no tough group.
    3
  174. Has to play more than 25 games to do that.
    3
  175. No it's not. Rules have to comply with the law.
    3
  176. Why woukd Utd, lfc, arsenal, Chelsea etc.. want that?
    3
  177. Because they haven't met thier evaluation.
    3
  178. Great deal, you lost one of your best players for 10m. Lol
    3
  179. that's how it works. Until your found guilty of something nothing happens. The PL lost the case, that's why they asked to delay the findings.
    3
  180. What's the evidence of wrongdoing?
    3
  181. It spreads the remainder out over the next 7 years. Say the player costs 70m and is on a 7 year deal. That's 10m a year. After 2 years there's 50m left and they sign a 7 year deal it comes out as 7m a year.
    3
  182. The problem is how long can the game play before too much time has passed. 30 seconds? 2mns? 10mns? What if they make it wins and 2mns and 10 seconds later they realize they got it wrong? What if the oposition goes down the pitch and scores in that 20 seconds? Chalk off that goal and award the 1st goal? It just sets up other messes down the road to fix 1.
    3
  183. ​@paulharrington2867 by definition that's following the rules. Following the rules isn't getting away with anything. If they want some result they should write better rules.
    3
  184. ​ @lmpnow  it depends on what the difference of opinionnis don't you think? It's not just a difference of opinion when the opinion you're arguing for is to take the rights away from people and kill them.
    3
  185. CAS disagress. Its actualy 5 by the way.
    3
  186. Because his goal is to increase revenue for him not to improve the team.
    3
  187. "A mistimed tackle with no malace"? Is he high? It was from behind half way up his leg with studs. FFS

  188. Fabrizio Romano has been saying the fee was agreed to 19 days ago so there's no "sudden change"
    3
  189. But it hasn't worked so its not that smart.
    3
  190. This is nonsense. They've offered higher wages to Caicedo than Liverpool, that's why he agreed to go to Chelsea instead. They ain't paying 100m transfers 10k a week, they're getting 200k a week.
    3
  191. They're out of the title race. How can it not be an underachiement? Stop with the excuses. Had no Aguero last year, no KDB half the year. Still ran away with the league.
    3
  192. Typical entitled red cartel fan. Scared of competition. Just wants titles handed to them. Don't want to earn them.
    3
  193. But nothing is going to happen in those added minutes. Nobody wants to watch 3 more minutes of standing in the corner.
    3
  194. Punish for what? They haven't provided any evidence they've done anything wrong.
    3
  195. ​ @chadtyrone5 no they were cleared by CAS and found there was "no evidence of wrongdoing".
    3
  196. This doesn't effect the 115 in any way. Anyone saying different is lying.

  197.  @TheRishijoesanu  wasn't it 15 goals in all comps?
    3
  198. ​@edmar23 how would he force a move? Refuse to play and get fined and never play?
    3
  199. But they haven't stopped the game a 2nd time. The game is stopped while the call is checked. Then then game is started to take the pen or whatever. They don't take the pen then say "woops that was wrong. Stop the game again and chalk off the goal".
    3
  200. He scored 120 goals in 2 seasons?

  201. When was Ckty found guilty of cheating? I missed it.

  202. How have the cheated? What's the evidence?
    3
  203. Unlikely. Finals are usually 1-0 or penalties.
    3
  204. ​@mr_specialist9253 it's not stupid. The buyback isn't until next year so they can get the same money plus an extra year to get them back to the PL

  205. How is itmonly everton? Forrest were deducted points. Lcfc were charged.
    3
  206. Yea zero.

  207.  @Shyne282  No. Pep just said this week only small teams are worried about selling to rivals.
    3
  208. You know they're not.
    3
  209. Only signed 1. Maybe you mean chelsea?
    3
  210. They may have a financial idea what they're doing but the players they're choosing there is nomclear idea. Buying Aubamayang for Tuechel and then fired him a week later. That's poor planning.
    3
  211. ​ @Mr.93.20  they loteraly increased the fee every time City made an offer. They started at 100m, then 130m, then 150m and I even heard claims of 200m. Spurs just weren't going to sell to City for any price.
    3
  212. Ronaldo isn't going to a team to be depth.
    3
  213. But they're clearly not making top 4 next year.
    2
  214. Real played a back 5 with 9 in the box. What are they supposed to do?
    2
  215. @msizingubane9861  he's saying this is the manager is lying. They need to sell Ghallager to meet PSR. Atletti can't buy him unless they sold Felix. Nobody wanted him so Chelsea, who didn't want him had to buy him to get the Ghallager sale through. So now they need to clear more wages to fit Felix in, so Sterling is the obvious candidate.
    2
  216. The same people that said Haaland wouldn't cut it?
    2
  217. On what basis? Did Italy invade Portugal when we werent looking?
    2
  218. ​@msatti3013 what's the evidence they're true?
    2
  219. ​ @investingtips2957 that's what people said with EUFA and CAS ruled 9xs there was "no evidence".
    2
  220. Because FDJ is a downgrade.
    2
  221. Depends on what you mean by big club. Win trophies regularly? Sure and City do that. Have loads of fans in Indonesia? Why would anyone care? Have 8 pot noodle sponsers? Don't care.
    2
  222. ​@greengrass811 The difference is those countries have leaders in the team, England doesn't. Leadership is a huge issue with the team.

  224. ​@VR46314 yea totaly not Real, Utd etc.. breaking transfer record after transfer record the last 30m years. Lol
    2
  225. Then you're clueless. It still exists exactly has its always existed. You just don't understand how it works, what the rules are and what it's purpose is.
    2
  226.  @TomC8042  because they followed the rules. You want clubs punished for following the rules? City were cleared of any wrong doing. You want clubs punished with no evidence?
    2
  227.  @chaitanyagupta8902  yes they can sell him for 60m next year, get out ofnthe ucl group and qualify for the ucl next year by finishing top 4 with Haaland which =160m. Or they could sell him for 150m and not make top 4, not get out of the group. Gee which is better?
    2
  228. When isn't Rashford out of form? If he was from Ukraine nobody would speak about him. Great guy, average footballer.
    2
  229. ​ @dannyunderwood6066 they're literaly not. This rule only was made after NUFC takeover.
    2
  230. ​ @dannyunderwood6066 can you provide a single piece ofmevidence City have?
    2
  231. ​@StephenC1908this is a different case. The PL case will happen in november this is a separate situation where the PL passed a rule despite not meeting the minimum number of clubs approval to go into effect.
    2
  232. ​ @Aries_Alpha that's not how it works. Getting rid of the rule now doesn't change anything from 2014. If you get a ticket for speeding today and thencourt date is set for 2 months then the speed limit is changed a month before the case doesn't negate the ticket.
    2
  233.  @Aries_Alpha  why would I hope? This is how the court system works.
    2
  234.  @Aries_Alpha  no it is criminal law. The claim is the PL rule breaks english law. You can't implement any rules you want. They have to comply with the law.
    2
  235. Because they don't want to lose games and get fired. The public doesnt want to see the 25th player in the squad playing over the stars. Stars are why people watch.
    2
  236. And Stones.
    2
  237. Paul "I might be wrong" Merson should change his name to Paul "Im always wrong" Merson. Gknzalez is an 8 not a 6. So hes not Rodri's replacemnt. He will 100% play with him. Marmoush is 100xs better than Grealish. What is he smoking?
    2
  238. But the group staged sucked. The games were utterly pointless. Eveeyone knew who was going through.

  239. ​ @kulhemhlongo winners of the UCL and their counterparts around the world.
    2
  240. Not Different rules you just don't understand ffp and psr.
    2
  241. @ianphillips9455  what's that got to do with being dishonest? Everton knew they were going to fail also. They'd been warned for several seasons.
    2
  242. Man Utd ruining football again.
    2
  243.  @deansmith2198  of course they do. They always do this with City. Include add ons, wages,... anything they can find to make headlines. Its 75m plus add one that could become 100m. But they never include add ons for anyone else.
    2
  244. ​ @ONEWAYLEEWAY utd have spent more. Where are they? We don't fear clubs spending money. We're not utd or lfc fans that want a system where they spend 100m and everyone else can only spend 10m. They're scared of competition. We arent. If you're run better you'll win and I'll tip my hat.
    2
  245. @ai5322  of course not. Arsenal dont lose sleep over losing because that's what they do. They're losers that celebrate "challenging" for trophies but never winning them.
    2
  246. He drew another game. Are they not supposed to cover that?
    2
  247.  @ThePickledOnion  and Fred.
    2
  248. Of course. But women don't do this.
    2
  249. Yea because Kane would totaly have trouble scoring goals in a weaker league on a team who's wage bill is 28xs the bottom club.
    2
  250. It's not. The league was weak and he took over a team that spent half of last season in 1st to win only 1 trophy. Pellegrini won 2 against tougher competition.
    2
  251. They weren't getting out of the group the old way anyway.
    2
  252. 1 cooperated the other didn't.
    2
  253. Never a penalty
    2
  254. ​ @doliniplanini2260 low impact? The teams success dropped 50% without him.

  256. When someone provides evidence.
    2
  257. Can't hit someone before you've proved your case.
    2
  258. @enes5917  no he had 200m on the bench the other day. But what difference does that make? Hes got all the best players right? Hes the best manager right? Players on the bench can't effect the game.
    2
  259. Because they failed the finacial sustainability and City havent.
    2
  260. @BritishRosie-es3zr  so tell me what the evidence is. Even Rob Harris admits he unaware of any evidence.
    2
  261. Past thier peak? Who?
    2
  262. What's points got to do with being attacking?
    2
  263. @frankblack1935  if 51 dope. His 1st post had nothing. To do with goals. His whole argument was they had the most points. Points doesn't = attacking football.
    2
  264. @JoaoPereira-jv2gm  you didn't mention goals though did you? You said points.
    2
  265. Because they think they'll have the same problems NUFC had last year.
    2
  266. I'd be shocked if Ajax spend 30m. They don't have that kind of money.
    2
  267. Can't invest in the squad? They spent 200m last summer. They've spent more than any other club.
    2
  268. @stuartm5166  but they don't have no money to invest. They just spent 200m. Or are you arguing utd should be able to spend 500m every year and buy success? You can't pretend they have no money to spend after spending big.
    2
  269. What's the evidence of either?
    2
  270. @user-rt7jn6oe2r  charges aren't evidence. They're the claim. Claims aren't evidence. When you're charged with a crime the prosecution doesn't say "we have 115 charges" and the jury says "well then guilty". What's the evidence?
    2
  271.  @SongofIceandTea  That's evidence that Real are a great team not the league. The other teams are awful. Look how poorly the 4th team from Spain does every year. They get destroyed.
    2
  272. This is the game to make a mistake. Copenhagen had no chance to win so it doesn't matter.
    2
  273.  @jarveyjaguar4395  no it isn't. They did exactly what Barca are doing. Spending money they didn't dint have depending on ucl qualification to bail them out. Come up short and lost ownership of the team. They've now been run efficiently and just won the league.
    2
  274. Theres no quota. You don't have to have any English players and they still have foreign spots open. Hes been injured. Rodri can't play every game.
    2
  275. Why?
    2
  276. They need a 6 that can pass and defend. Someone to shield the defense and link the attac. Get the ball to the forwards in a position they can take advantage of. It's not a coincidence that afc have become good since they finally found a 6.
    2
  277. The rules are clear. They can't have set point deductions because every situation is different.
    2
  278. But they bought lots of players and don't have UCL money to mitigate.
    2
  279.  @donandres10  no they don't. They can't hold playing time hostage to force players to give up money they're owed.
    2
  280. You're very confused. This has nothing to do with the 115 case. They signed a bunch of players in January because they didn't sign anyone in the summer and have had a plethora of long-term injuries. Plus they sold 100m worth of players for the 5th year in a row.
    2
  281. They'll never win another title.
    2
  282. @Valpo2004  I hear you but surely that's better than whatever qualification they used for Benfica, Dortmund etc.. they wanted to expand it so winners makes sense.
    2
  283. The problem is with PSR. If they loan him out and buy another 70m player to replace him and pay them big wages, because when you spend 70m they want big wages, you can't make it work financially. You have to offset at least some of that with a sale.
    2
  284. They don't kiss on the lips. You don't even kiss on the cheek. You kiss in the air next to the cheek. Nice try.
    2
  285. Had slowed down? They were in for the quad until last spring.
    2
  286. Bayern bottled it right?
    2
  287. Cheers
    2
  288.  @tlangelanishikwambana8596  yea if Stones, Diaz, Ake, & Walker weren't injured they could have.
    2
  289.  @worldclass1401  I'm with you. I've been asking g people for years to provide a single example and I'm still waiting. I can't even get a consistent definition of sports washing. I used to ask for that 1st to establish what were talking about and when I showed they didn't do that people started shifting the definition. As far as I can tell sports washing is when a Muslim owns a club.
    2
  290. Whats enacting illegal rules got to do with foreign?
    2
  291. This doesn't effect that in any way.
    2
  292. Yea so odd, the team that won the Treble earned a lot of revenue. Who'd have guessed? Lol
    2
  293.  @jc-16.  have you enjoyed the last 20 years with no PL titles?
    2
  294.  @Mac_Kymera  but the big clubs run the league, especially lfc, afc and utd. They pushed for ffp not bourmouth. They're the ones that pushed for the superleague. They're the ones that started the PL. They push for all the ucl changes that have happened. It's always the big clubs that move the needle.
    2
  295. ​ @danielca3 they literally didn't. He was paid to do consulting for another club. This isn't abnormal. But it's clear you've not looked into the claim at all because it happened 2 years before ffp even existed. So what do they have to gain by faking a payment to avoid ffp 2 years before it existed to save 1m? Why would they risk criminal prosecution for such a nothing burger?
    2
  296. How can UEFA take actions against the usa? They arent in eufa.
    2
  297. Did you forget the decision that weongle went in Uyds favor that gave them points they didn't deserve against wolves?
    2
  298.  @wisdomnzube2330  lol 3 weeks ago they had the most depth in the league. A manager that had Pep's number. The best English player, the world's best player, the best cb, the best goalkeeper, but now they're too weak to compete. Lol
    2
  299. Pep was able to play without a true striker because he had a team full of goal scorers in another positions. Arsenal dont have that.
    2
  300. But they aren't actualy getting much from those sales. Koulibally for example was sold for €23m but paid €38m so they've lost money on him and because he was only there 1 year most of the 38m counts against ffp this year. Chelsea have also lost a lot of revenue not qualifying for ucl. Not only missing out on 60 guarantee but another 20m in sponsorship because you get less if you don't qualify for ucl.
    2
  301.  @aryan.4855  when doesn't Rooney get credit?
    2
  302. As opposed to having utd and lfc run the league. Make all the rules to favor only them so nobody can compete with them?
    2
  303.  @hydr0jack16  let me guess, you're a fan of a club that used to be successful and isn't now. I know the facts because I'm a City fan. You don't care about the facts.
    2
  304. If that was true why have the independent commission told the Pl they have no case?
    2
  305. Keep crying
    2
  306. Because Everton were found guilty. The FA clearly have solid evidence against Everton. They don't against City. Cfc have admitted wrongdoing so they'll get some sanction but since it was the previous ownership it won't be as severe as it would be otherwise.
    2
  307. Can't sentence before they prove the charges. What's the evidenced?
    2
  308.  @jonnyroberts3618  what's the evidence?
    2
  309.  @LA-fr7fx  that's not what the CAS statement said. Actualy read it not opinion pieces. It literaly says 9 times, there's no evidence of hiding equity funding. Just because the Etisalat deal was time barred doesn't mean there was evidence to prove wrong doing. The Etisalat dealmwas time bared not conclusive evidence of wrong doing.
    2
  310. But it a 1 year extention with an option for another making it an 11 year stay. How many years do you expect the contract to be for?
    2
  311. Lessons once a week is pointless. You cant learn a language like that.
    2
  312. That's not true, the report said everton did get a sporting advantage and were found to not cooperate and Forest did.
    2
  313.  @amazoner0cks  because you don't understand ffp. They generate 450m every year.
    2
  314. @really8930  Laporte was the "in and out" he was injured a lot. Gundogan is 34. Surely you don't expect a 34 year old to play as good as he did at 28. Sterling was bad the last 1.5 years so his performance didn't change. So again who are we talking about that didn't play as well?
    2
  315. You guys are such clowns. Lol
    2
  316. If it was about love why did he plant a fake story he was signing with City to push Utd into signing him?
    2
  317.  @djpulverize  it's a fact. City didn't want him. Utd didn't want him. They turned him down at the beginning of the window. It wasn't until his agent put that story out that he was going tomsign with City that Fergie, Rio and company demanded they sign Ronaldo.
    2
  318.  @superted6743  yes he said that but thats Pep being nice. He also said he had no interest in signing him so clearly he didn't mean Ronaldo could sign for anyone. And it's clearly not true cause nobody wants him. Even Napoli turned him down. Psg turned him down.
    2
  319. So they should break the law and commit collusion?
    2
  320. It was Ronaldo that pushed to go back to Utd. They didnt want him. He had to put a fake story City were going to sign him to push Utd into signing him. The ucl stuff is nonsense. If it was about ucl why didn't he ask to leave at the beginning of the window?
    2
  321. He didn't kiss her cheek. He lied about it afterwards. Tried to punish her.
    2
  322. Should have deducted 100. Garbage cheating club.
    2
  323. ​@joeuma6403 city is the best teammin the world. All you have to do is look at the revenue breakdown. It's available for everyone to see. City made 200m winning the PL, another 200m winning the UCL
    2
  324. ​ @thomHD in 3 seasons Slaah and VVD will be gone so will lfc be the lfc of right now? Or will they go back to what they were before them? Battling for 7th. There's also no reason to think utd will benefit from anything. They've been on a downward trend for 15 years.
    2
  325. Utd. If they want to be able to compete for top players and get out of the groupmstage of the UCL they need to sign quality players. Spurs on the other hand, won't spend money anyway so it doesnt matter.
    2
  326. Sport is a political invention. It's funny how people are only upset about the politics they don't like in sports.
    2
  327.  @choerrycola7666  but my issue isnt that the UCL awards soft fouls and penalties. My point is these same people who are loosing thier minds were saying those other incidents were 100% penalties.
    2
  328. That's not what a super league means. It doesn't mean rich.
    2
  329. ​ @donjesson7160 because the PL has no evidence.
    2
  330.  @omariblake21  he's got 6 goals mate.
    2
  331. What does bigger mean?
    2
  332.  @jamsmaty5624  you're missing my point. It's harder to offload players on big wages. Few clubs can afford it. You lose bargaining power. A club like RB doesn't have money for transfers, they're a selling club.
    2
  333.  @JayVee53  You realize that Madrid "generating" money also includes being bailed out by the government right? Its easy to generate money when the government is funding you and you have an advantage with tv money by selling your own rights. Yet theyre still loaded with debt. Crying poor while building a new stadium and signing David Alaba.
    2
  334. ​ @liamjones9115 that was overturned.
    2
  335. ​ @hydra8612  sure but what's the upside? He plays well then his permanent fee is going to be higher. If they really like him they should just buy him outright while his value is at its lowest. 10m loan plus his wages which are very high isn't a great deal.
    2
  336. And haven't made them any better.
    2
  337. Keep crying every week for the next year. Lol
    2
  338. ​ @ChanahsCreativeEdits  lfc players all came on a free?
    2
  339. Hes already making 500k a week. Every club would give him 500k a week.
    2
  340. He can play all front 3 positions.
    2
  341.  @path6336  Lewis is a RB, Cancelo is a lb.
    2
  342. Kane has nothing to do with it. Spurs have refused to sell. Kane has no say I it.
    2
  343. Because they never proved and actual breaches. An accusation isn't guilt.
    2
  344.  @victorewalefo2275  There was never any offeres for Bernado.
    2
  345. So where are the big names signing with Utd?
    2
  346. What does that change?
    2
  347. They averaged 4k less per game then.
    2
  348. And none of that is evidence. What's the evidence? All you've seen is conjecture.
    2
  349. You're not making an apples to apples argument. Tehres only 32 NBA teams and they still qualify for the playoffs. Imagine the playoffs were the same teams guaranteed every year. Leaving out the rest to play meaningless games week in week out so that the Lakers can play the sun's or whoever every year in the playoffs.
    2
  350. Why do you care about billionaires making more money? That's all this does. Clubs that earn more still spend more.
    2
  351. Ronaldo con'd Utd into signing him. They didn't want him. Nobody wanted him. His agent put that fake story he was about to sign with City that got everyone in an uproar and pushed Utd to sign him when City were never going to sign him.
    2
  352. Its not 6 points its 9. You have to win the game in hand before you count the points.
    2
  353.  @awfan221  OK well then I'll count every game City has to play as a win. Is that how it works? Lfc drew with Brentford and Brighton this season. Every team can drop points to anyone.
    2
  354. Then it means there isn't evidence of the claims and the correct result was made.
    2
  355. ​@Adam18893 what's the evidence?
    2
  356.  @user-zr2ug4rh7w  and when they're found not guilty, again. Are you going to admit they're innocent? Or are you just going to make up more conspiracies?
    2
  357. @craigcombes  this is a lie. Where did you get these numbers?
    2
  358.  @kevintablet743  because City are in the title race. If they lose the title is pretty much over. Its got nothing to do with lfc. You dont celebrate winning?
    2
  359. ​ @vikkin1031  except Barca aren't even competitive in the ucl.
    2
  360. why?
    2
  361. Like 100m Touchiumeni?
    2
  362. But you're ignoring the fact that without him they're trending into getting relegated and lose 200m not make 25m.
    2
  363.  @saqib7965  why? You think the lfc money is clean? Any billionaires money is clean?
    2
  364. Why aren't you complaining about lcfc doing it tomwin trophies?

  365. Damn shame. Enjoyed watching Leeds cause they actually tried. Now another play dead manager will take over. Time waste from the first whistle. Throwi g themselves to the ground every 2mns buying fake fouls. And tye media will celebrate it while condemning diving in the box.

  368.  @neogenzim1995  he's on the same wages as KDB so not ridiculous wages. Less than Ronaldo.
    2
  369. Because they're spending a lot of money.

  370. So not everything. Doesn't have a meaningful league title or cup title either.

  375. Obviously. They were PL favorites, added 100m flop Lukaku and they're 13 points behind.

  376. ​ @opeoluwaalo8366 no. It's just to generate clicks. People say stupid stuff intentionally that they don't believe like "Haaland won't score 10 goals" to drive engagement.
    2
  377.  @MinoYTD  it's 3 years for ffp loses. The financial period is 3 years where you can't lose more than 30m. I think what you're confusing is looking at intentional rule breaking.
    2
  378. ​@jacknelson927 they haven't proven they broke any rules so why should it be easy to punish them?
    2
  379. Not true. He has to agree. If the player says no then there's no deal. He has to sign a contract with any club to finalize any deal.
    2
  380. ​@RgjDj1878 but thats because Bayern have a monopoly in Germany. Thier wage bill is double Dortmunds and 28xs the bottom club. So they don't have to pay big transfers or wages because they're the only option in Germany and can't get into bidding wars.

  381. How was it pointless? They only had 1 DM. They needed another. He's an English international. Made perfect sense. He just didn't work out.

  383. It's almost like going from 1 extreme to another is a bad idea.

  387. This is a new rule that went into effect in February.
    2
  388. Neither are "struggling for money". Theyve just chosen not to spend that would cut into thier profits. Cfc have decided making profits from the club isn't important. At least at the moment. Utd and afc have been run with the clear position that profits is the most import goal of thier ownership model. Same goes for lfc. It's not that they don't have the money or can't spend. It's that they've chosen not to spend because profit is thier goal.
    2
  389. Bayern asking for an option to buy but no way City don't demand an obligation to buy.
    2
  390. Mate the game was over. They made 5 subs. Brought on 2 academy players, Laporte hasn't played for 6 months due to injury, and a FB that was expected to go on loan to Gerona. If the starters stayed on the pitch they'd have scored 10 and Utd wouldn't have scored again.

  391. Prove they cheated.

  392.  @alistairsmith5389  what's the evidence?

  393.  @laxman90210  so you're saying things can't change? You're positions can never change? Once you let someone in your house you can never deny them entry? If you do business with someone 1x you have to do business with them in perpituity? No matter what new information comes to light?

  394.  @chiggsytube  Russian oligarchs run the country along with Putin. Thats how dictatorships work. Russia isn't run like england.its not a democratic country where rich people just pay taxes. RA didn't just buy the business like in a democratic country. It wasn't an open bidding system. He was given the business at a huge discount because theybwere in agreement on how the country would be run and Putin would receive earnings from that business.

  407.  @thecakecadet8450  what do you mean "now"? The clubs that spent the most before didn't win the league? Battery don't win the league every year because their wage bill is 28xs the bottom clubs in thier league? Man Utd didn't win the league every year with the highest wage bill? Breaking the transfer record left and right? Arsenal didn't gain access to the first division from the jump buy literally buying thier way in? Where have you been watching football? It's always been "bought".

  408. Refs don't want to send off players. The funny thing is the pundits don't either. When the ref does send people off they always moan about using common sense and not ruining the game by sending people off. Bow they're moaning that players aren't being sent off. Lol If the ref did give him a yellow for the first he 100% would not have Givin him a 2nd yellow.
    1
  409. They're spreading all the negativity themselves.
    1
  410. So there's never been corruption?
    1
  411. But the government onky got involved because of the fan response. It was also the sponsors reaction, which again was triggered by the fans.
    1
  412. ​ @alancawfield6549 exactly. Theyve all moaned to death about "consistancy" so they've made the laws so there's no interpretation. Your arm is away from your body its a pen. Then they moan "where's the common sense?".
    1
  413. ​ @Stop.pressuring.meeeeee you clearly don't understand the processs. The PL and eufa don't need evidence to sanction clubs. If city didn't go to court they'd be accepting punishment. That's what happened with eufa. They brought forward a case with no evidence. With many claims they knew were past the statute of limitations. That proves they don't care about their rules at all.

  416. ​ @JimmyLeSpurs  city dont even have 22 players. Theyve only got 19. 3 of which only get onnthe pitch when the game is at least 3-0. This "citybhave 2 11s" is blatantly nonsense
    1
  417. ​@StephenC1908this isn't about ffp. This is about the rule that was inactive this past season despite failing to get the minimum number of votes needed. So no, it wasn't democraticly voted in favor of.
    1
  418.  @garethhayes9982  You dont know what youre talking about. City have absolutely nevr admitted to doing any wrong doing. They have literally denied all wrong doing. Claiming they didnt give over financials is a lie. City were cleared by CAS because there was no evidence. A direct quote stated about 9x's int he report.

  419. After 1 day? Lol

  420. I don't think Chelsea can do that. They are battling to finish top 4. They have to win. City don't.
    1
  421. Klopp has been a failure at lfc.
    1
  422. @greengrass811  the manager can't lead on the pitch and the players set the tone. That's why there's a captain. The players set the standards in training.
    1
  423. ​@davidburke7777 what stuff is garbage?
    1
  424. ​ @steveo4991 yes. There is no evidence. There isn't actually 115 charges. It's 6. Calling it 115 is like saying you receive 20 charges for a speeding ticket because you sped 20 miles. 1 of the 6 is the Mancini claim that was 2 years before ffp even existed so why would City need to hide a payment to avoid ffp before ffp existed? The others theres no evidence of actual wrong doing. It's all interpretation. It's starting with a conclusion that City cooked the books and reading those couple emails and saying "this could fit". But thats not evidence.
    1
  425. ​@surfinbearbeats is that why City have beat Mardrid in 5 of the last 6 games?
    1
  426. So Klopp was a failure.

  428.  @gaborkovacs544  get away with following the rules?
    1
  429.  @anurag9425  can they? Why would Dortmund sell him after selling Sancho? They don't need the money and they'd have no chance getting out of the group and finishing top 4 without both. Which costs them 100m.
    1
  430.  @martynshaw972  yea and they'll make 100m with him this year so they make more money keeping him and selling g him for 60m than selling for 150m now. You can't just ignore all the money hell make the club getting out of the ucl group, finishing top 4,...
    1
  431.  @taylorrusso5290  City don't care about sell ons. They don't sell players that are good.
    1
  432.  @boopdeeb9444  I beleive you get 60m for qualifying for the UCL from TV, and tickets sales. Each round you make it out of is more and more revenue. City made 100m as runners up this year.
    1
  433.  @gboi264  but none of them can be signed this year and Lautaro ain't in the same category. Pep has 2 years left on his contract. Would you waste 1 of them to save a few bucks? Plus there's no guarantee you get any of those players cause other clubs want them too. Utd, cfc, Bayern and Real will all be competing for those couple players.
    1
  434.  @taylorrusso5290  again factually incorrect. Utd has now spent more than City. Spend more on wages. Barca spend double in wages and so does Real.
    1
  435.  @MCFC_EDITZ  the problem is Dortmund target young players. They're not going to use that money to buy a couple 26 year old polished players. That's not thier model. Buying 4 18 year Olds isn't going to help them finish top 4. They miss top 4 then those young players aren't going to go to them because playing time in the ucl is what makes Dortmund the sexy destination they are.
    1
  436.  @taylorrusso5290  The fact were not talking about wages is my point. Why does everyone ignore the largest portion of spending a club makes when talking about spending? Wages are the biggest determining factor in a clubs success not transfers. So why the focus on transfers? Oh right because it fits the narrative.
    1
  437.  @taylorrusso5290  that's not true. Man Utd have spent the same as City, more including this transfer window. They haven't been caught breaking ffp. CAS overturned the case due to no evidence. And you simultaneously claimed the PL has found City guilty of breaking FFP, they Haven't and that the case is ongoing. An ongoing case is proof they Haven't found them guilty. You can't find someone guilty during an investigation. The investigation has to conclude for them to even consider guilt. They're working with the same evidence that CAS was working with so they will also agree that there is no evidence of wrong doing.
    1
  438.  @geraldhuallpa9495  afc and lfc as well. Afc will never qualify for ucl again and lfc likely will miss out his year. With covid especially they can't afford the financial loss.
    1
  439. Of course it is. You just don't undertake how it works and the point. It's done exactly what they wanted. Stretched the gap between the top clubs and the rest. Bayernnhas won the league every year since. Juve had won every year until they were dumb enough to buy Ronaldo.

  445. @caioxlive1318  and have you seen how rubbish the Brazilian league is?
    1
  446. @caioxlive1318  the league is rubbish. That's why clubs in Europe are so desperate to take your players young before they're ruined by the 18th century tactics teams play with.
    1
  447. @yaaobenewaah1697  they also covered a lot less ground then. Playing 50 games covering 8k and playing 50 games covering 11k aren't the same.
    1
  448. @yaaobenewaah1697  why? The FA cup is the oldest competition in football. Why get rid of that to add more meaningless international games, european club group stage games, preseason friendlies, etc...? We don't need or want more games.
    1
  449. @caioxlive1318  you're talking about a couple games. If they got rid of the LC theyd just add them somewhere else. More ucl games, more national team games etc..

  453.  @samjg101  Then why did he sign with them? If its about ambition Utd ain't the club, the reality is he's about the money. Nobody wanted him and he was able to convince Utd into signing him for 500k a week.

  454.  @Yeahagreed  so his agent didn't contact Napoli? Lol His agent has flogged him to every team in Europe. Last year as well. Nobody wants him.

  461.  @BerimaLaud  he was the closest person to the ball? How was he not getting to the ball? The whole point is he coukdnt run at full speed because he'd run into him and get a red card. He runs towards the ball. That's all that matters. Of course he impacted every defender because he was running over the ball.
    1
  462.  @BerimaLaud  and by your own words it's offside because he impacted the Gk. That makes it offside. He runs towards the ball, that makes it offside. It's the worst call I football in the last 10 years. There is no legitimate argument for it not to be offside. He should never ref another game because he's either incompetent and doesn't know the laws or he's corrupt.

  464. When was the last time he was successful? 10 years ago?

  465. @jorreacts8902  if he was succesful at Utd why did he get fired? Why did he get fired at Spurs and Roma? He was a failure at all 3. Winning the lc doesn't make you successful.

  473.  @hugoboss917  Why is it ridiculous? They earn more because they produce a better product. A more competitive product. If Juve werent so selfish instituting FFP making the league non competitive theyd have a better tv deal. Its weird how people moan that Juve and the like have earned their money but when others earn more than them they moan.
    1
  474.  @hugoboss917  But they didnt try and start a league with no competition. They didnt institute FFP to make football noncompetitive. You know what they did? They improved their product. Juve are in that boat by their own making. They made Italy noncompetitive for selfish reasons and now theyre dealing with the consequences. And their plan to fix it is to destroy european football for their benefit.

Yes City will be cleared again because there's nonevidenc. 20 some of the charges are about Mancini getting paid as a consultant for another club. The claim is he didn't do any consulting. Whats the evidence? There's none. All to "hide" 1m to avoid ffp 2 years before ffp existed. That's how dumb this case is. Read the CAS report. UEFA had no evidence. The FA has the same no evidence.
    1
  518. @gjh997  yes. It's not 115 charges it's 5. Everton failed sustainability. City haven't. They're claiming City are hiding equity funding. Whats the evidence? They have none.

  519. @vbn2678  they aren't even charged with the same things. Everton books they turned in how they failed whatever alphabet soup term they're using now. City didn't. They're arguing City committing an actual crime, fraud. Everton could deny all they like, it wouldn't change anything. Their colums don't match. Simple math. The PL has to prove City have done something wrong. Didn't have to do that with Everton.
    1
  520.  @vbn2678  Didnt say it was a criminal trial but it is a legal case and they are claiming CIty committed an actual crime. Theyre not claiming they failed FFP but committed fraud. But the government has already said they arent going to charge City because theres no evidence.

  521. Are Utd in the UCL this year? How many of the last 10 have they been in the UCL? Half?
    1
  522. People said the same thing when they brought in Torres, Lukaku etc... The reality is players have strengths and weaknesses and every system doesn't suite them. Victor has a particular style of play that Chelsea will have to adapt to. Will the players they have be able to do that? Will they thrive in that system or will it allow Victor to be successful but not the team? Kind of like Ronaldo at Utd. It's not as simple as "we need a striker, sign striker, happily ever after"
    1
  523. @ang5491  Didn't Utd and Chelsea "feed" Lukaku? Yet it didn't work. You can feed a striker loads of crosses, but if they aren't skilled at finishing crosses it doesn't work. If a player is slow, feeding them balls into the channels doesn't work. Etc.. my point is the striker, the players behind him and the system has to match up so it takes advantage of everyone's skills. And not favoring 1 over the other which hurts the team.
    1
  524. @ang5491  I get you, but they could be mistaken. Just because they agree that player X does what they want them to do doesn't mean they could misjudge their abilities. I think this is particularly true of Lukaku with Utd and cfc. He was the best option available and had "the numbers" so they thought he was the perfect fit.

  529.  @regpane  So unless it gets Russia to get out of Ukraine we should do Nothing? No sanctions since they aren't going to force them out either? The point is to provide consequences.

  533. Is that why he's got 26 goals? Alvarez isn't a lone striker. He's a 2nd striker. He can't lead the line. It's why he's been bad when he's played alone. Can't play 442 and beat good teams.

  555. ​ @apan990  its not the spending that's nit fair. It's the write off of the debt as a FFP run around that's unfair.
    1
  556.  @MrF.B.I  the why isn't relevant. The issue is they spend money on players and that money was wiped away like it wasn't spent.
    1
  557.  @apan990  you're missing the point. If an owner can spend loads of money on players then right it off like the money wasn't spent then there is no point to ffp. Why shouldn't every owner do the same? City spend 200m to get Bellingham and they right it off right?
    1
  558.  @chelseagodfather  because it gives the club a spending advantage. If he hadn't wrote off the debt they couldn't have spent 300m. Would you be making the same argument if City spent 200m for Bellingham and then write off off allowing them to spend another 200m on other players? What you're arguing for is no financial regulations, which I'm fine with as long as its for everyone. But we can't have a system where some clubs have to abide by financial restrictions and others dont.
    1
  559.  @_KeyserSoze  it doesn't matter it was used to buy players. You can't or at least shouldn't be allowed to say "I'm not using club money so this 200m i just spent on players doesn't count".

  561. @fleisbester612  did you hit your head? There isn't more money in Brasil, Argentina etc... than ever. Having more money that 20 years ago in America is still nothing. Those teams can't compete. Thier best players are finished European players.

  563. He had no chance of playing. Foden, Alvares, Bernardo, Grealish and Doku all ahead of him. Its why he never played any meaningful minutes last year. He didnt start a game until the title was won and even then it was only 2. Never came on as a sub until City were up at least 3 goals.

  570. @user-kt4ig7ml3z  so provide the evidence since it's so obvious. Why did eufa and the PL charge them? Are they poor? Do they not have elite lawyers? Eufa literally won every argument in their case. City argued eufa shouldn't be able to charge them due to the previous agreement, they lost that. They argued that because the documents were obtained illegally it shouldn't be used, they lost that. That they should have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt not a preponderance of evidence due to the fact eufa was claiming they broke the law, the lost that also. And yet eufa still couldnt prove thier case.

  575. ​@livinginlondon6122 not the same thing if you bothered to read the charges for each. Everton and Forrest submitted accounts that failed PSR. Its simple maths. City haven't failed PSR. The PL is charging them with false accounts. You cant do simple add this column and subtract this column like with PSR. They need to provide evidence of falsified accounts. So it had to go to courte and were waiting the result. But why do you assume theyre guilty? What's the evidence?
    1
  576. ​ @livinginlondon6122 there's no money to fight PSR. They are t the same charges. Your books show a loss over the limit. Theres no defense. They've claimed City have committed the crime of fraud. The PL spent 150m the case. What evidence have they provided to support the charges that make you so sure theyre guilty?

  577. ​ @Algojo what regulations and what's the evidence to support your claim?
    1
  578.  @neiljeremy8684  but the NFL isn't really compatible. They added like 2 games. The season is still from September to December and then playoffs finish in early February. That gives them off for like 4 months then camp and preseason. Real football is off for like 2 weeks a year. Baseball has lots of games but they don't really do much. They aren't running 12k a game. Maybe 0.5 a game. NBA has 82 games plus playoffs but they don't have the international games except in olympic years. So they get a couple months off every year. Hockey is the same.
    1
  579. @neiljeremy8684  and they don't have one in England, that's part of the problem. But the German league doesn't have nearly as many foreign players that play for national teams. All these extra meaningless international games is a big part of the problem along with the crazy travel. There aren't many if any south American players in Germany. Theyve got to fly back and forth from South america for every break.

  583. @john-tr8jy  I see. I disagree with you're "City are layered up". They have the same number of lawyers as everyone else. It's not going to effect any normal transfer fee. The only thing that's going to change is clubs are going to be less willing to send players to train with the kids.

  591.  @frankblack1935  can you read? His argument was points. I responded. Then he changed his argument. But even then goals doesn't make a team "the most attacking". Team A creates 2 chances and scores both, team B creates 50 chances and scores 1. Who's more attacking?
    1
  592.  @marctaddei7524  where did I say that? Read my port. His entire argument was they secured more points therefore they're the best attacking team. That doesn't follow.
    1
  593. @marctaddei7524  but again does that make Mourinho an attacking manager? Because 1 year they scored a lot of goals? Especially when you're giving all the credit to individual players. How many of those goals were because of attacking tactics? How many were set pieces, which isn't "attacking football" and counterattacks? Mourinho has lietraly admitted his tactics are to defend like he'll and wait for a mistake. That's not attacking football. That's the definition of defensive football.
    1
  594. @_f.i.s.h__4506  if you're defending 70% of the game that's not attacking football. Pragmatic = defensive. He literaly admits his philosophy is to defend and wait for a mistake. That's not attacking football. Pep's teams always score over 100 goals. Llads of shots, That's attacking football.

    1
  609.  @cockoffgewgle4993  there isn't a quota. A quota means a specific number is mandated. Theres no mandate for a single home grown player. You can have a team with just 17 foreigners. Theres a cap on foreign players and on total squad number but theres no quotas.
    1
  610.  @cockoffgewgle4993  wrong. A quota is a mandate. If you can go into a season with 0 HG players it's not a quota. If you have a quota to hire 3 women you have to hire 3 women. You can't say there's a women quota if you can have 0 women I your workplace. A quota and a cap aren't the same thing at all, they're oposites. 1 is a minimum mandate the other is a maximum mandate. That's not "symantics". Theres is a cap on how many foreign players you can have, there is no quota. There is no quota for HG players.

  611. @user-vl8iw1666  arsenal did. Real do every year. Why is januray relevant? There's a window to spend, why shouldn't they? What happened to net spend? Everything was about net spend until City's net spend was better than lfc. Now suddenly nobody talks about it. City have sold 100m worth of players every year the last 5. They're the only club in the PL to qualify for the ucl every year the last 10. Why wouldn't they spend 200m? That's how FFP works. The more you generate the more you spend.

This is all posturing to try and force Real into buying him so he doesn't leave for free. But Real and Mbappe know that.

  628. @Redballoon99  Utd's revenue compared to transfer fees of Rooney etc.. they weren't generating 500m back then. Rooney transfer fee was 33% of total revenue.

People crying about an even playing field are teams that haven't been succesful and want a system implemented that means they can spend 200m and everyone else can only spend 10m.

  650. @Ridz_7  is that supposed to be impressive? 15 goals a season is mediocre. Top players score 20+ league goals but having a player with 15 goals doesn't guarantee top 4 anyway. Ronaldo scored 18 goals and finished out of top 4.

They get far more criticism than before taking over the club. Everybsports writer now writes about human rights etc... when they never ever ever gave a sh$% about them before. Never wrote about them. So clearly that concept ofmsports washing doesn't exist.mso people have shifted the definition when I talk to them. Still not providing any reasonable position so I'm giving you an chance to provide you're. Asking for your definition so I'm not arguing positions you don't hold.

  663.  @alexlawler1115  thats nonsense. He wasn't injured in 2018-19 and he only started 21 PL games and 7 UCL games. He was on the bench a lot that year before the knee injury because of his lack of work ethic.

  664. That's not how ffp works.

  665.  @ppate8  ? The clubs are based in Europe. They have to follow those laws. Playing 1 or 2 games in America doesn't give them a free pass to break laws.

  670. Hes trying to sabotage the deal just like he did with City. The price was 100m, City agreed and the. They raised the price to 130m, then 150m then 160m.

  673. ​@AbA-wk7yp and the season is shorter. They have 4-5 months to recover. The club season lasts 10 months. Plus those sports don't have international games filling up most of that 2 months break.
    1
  674. @shisir thapa 4231 the middle one is a second striker, a 10. You just don't understand formations. You can't just call them a midfielder. But again you were claiming he's a winger while putting forward the arguemnt he's a CM. A 4231 isn't a 3 man midfield. It's a 2 man midfield with a 10 which is just another word for a second striker.
    1
  675. Liar.
    1
  676. Nope. City have a 40m buyback clause for next year so they know they can get that anytime. City might also have a sell on fee so minus that and the 15m they paid 40m doesn't really provide them that much revenue.
    1
  677.  @surprisesibiya2646  what are you talking about? Revenue is all money the club generates.

  687. ​ @hbos9709 is that why they brought the charges? That doesn't make any sense.
    1
  688. ​ @allanfarran364 tye same reason UEFA did. They're run by the G14 clubs that ca t handle not being the elite clubs. Run thier clubs poorly so the only way they can get back to the top is to throw claims at City to hurt thier name.
    1
  689. ​ @rayfinkle2805 uefa said the same thing.
    1

    1
  692.  @hbos9709 No youre just a racist. Your comment is so dumb I dont know where to start. If City just pay the FA to dismiss the case why didnt they do that to avoid the case to begin with? The whole point of giving Everton a 10 point deduction is so they can punish City in future. If they didnt punish them harshly any club could use that down the road as a defense.

  697. ​@tafaridon4953 but youre framing it by ignoring all the important aspects. He's a great player and didnt want tonplay for you and left. Framinb itnlike "well we got 10m when we could have got nothing" misses the trees for the forrest. This isnt the english banking league. Why are you so fussed about greedy billions filling thier pockets over your team losing a great player?
    1
  698. While that's true when you sell a player whatever is left doesn't get amortized anymore. So if they sell Lukaku that 100m doesn't keep getting amortized. A lot of the non academy players sold will take a big ffp hit because they were only there a couple years.

  699. Really? They're out of the title race January 1st. They were title favorites.
    1
  700.  @Independenceday95  really? I remeber most were picking cfc especially cause City didn't sign a striker and you can't win a title without one they said. Until November everyone was saying it was cfc's to lose.

  704. ​ @Mihle-number1 proven wrong about what?
    1
  705.  @thomasnielsen5580  no it doesn't. Net spend is player purchases minus player sales. Total revenue isn't part of net spend.
    1
  706. Ibra was well past his best. Nobody else wanted him. Pogba is the only player the last 10 years you could point to.
    1
  707. Because clubs only generated 100m a year. Now they generate 600m. Yea I could buy 3 candy bars for 1 when I was a kid. This ain't 1979 anymore. Clubs generate more money means player sales cost more money.
    1
  708. ​ @davidburke7777 yet they're all making money hand over fist.
    1
  709.  @davidburke7777  people have been saying this since the foundation of the PL. Theres no evidence growth isnt never ending. Wages have increased in every field since the beginning of time. At no point is there ever been a possibility restraints are going to be bankrupt, or carpentors etc.. wages will always increase. Football clubs increase revenue every year. The wages increase commensurate with the revenue increases. Why are you so worried about how much profits billionaires generate?

  710. ​@OTAKUMAC-zu4xt you really think they're gonna pay 150m?

  715.  @peeweerye  it's not just because he's Russian. Hes a Russian who's been heavily involved in Russian politics.

  725.  @BritishRosie-es3zr  so what is it?

  726. Yes they have charges. Welcome to 6 months ago. The PL has to prove it in court. They have no evidence. Will end the same as CAS with City cleared.
    1
  727.  @Sinan-u4o  do you know what charges are? They're a claim. Do you think you should be punished before a claim is proven?
    1
  728.  @Sinan-u4o  is that english? These are the same exact chanrges from eufa for the exact some things with the exact same "evidence" they ruled isn't evidence. Those 5 emails aren't evidence. They need evidence to prove the case. Until they provide evidence and not conjecture they're baseless claims.

  741.  @ravd8082  this is BS. Read the CAS report. The only thing time bared was Etisalat, a 5m a year sponser. That's why City are succesful? CAS report said itnwouldnt have mattered even if it wasn't. The 5 emails aren't evidence.

  746.  @rockerjim8045  but it's only selective because the public don't care about sweat shops. If people cared they would care. People would rather spend less money on trainers and track suits. An invasion is much easier to get on board with as an issue.

    1
  768.  @ghandionascooter  what actions? They've charged City despite having no evidence.
    1
  769. @ghandionascooter  charges arent evidence. Why doesn't anyone know what evidence means? If you're charged with 3 counts of murder the evidence isn't you're charged with 3 counts of murder. The evidence woukd be the dead body, finger prints, DNA etc... so what's the evidence?
    1
  770.  @ghandionascooter  no it doesn't. Read the CAS report. 9xs stated there was no evidence. The PL is just the clubs, the same as eufa. They want to do something they do it. But you're so sure they're guilty so what's the evidence?
    1
  771. Kits don't earn much revenue. TV revenue is where 70% of the revenue comes from.
    1
  772.  @yoonyulntaeny  look at the actual numbers. They didn't make 700m on merchandising.
    1
  773. It's hilarious. When they didn't spend in the summer that was proof they're getting sanctioned. When they spend it's proof they're getting sanctioned. When Pep hadn't extended that was proof. When he signed the extention that was proof. Everything andnits antithesis is somehow proof of the same assertion. Lol
    1
  774.  @TheSoodbros  why are you focused on player sales? You do realize clubs generate most of thier income from other sources right? When you buy a new car do you only use the money from the old car you sold? Or do you determine what you can afford by looking at allmof your income?
    1
  775.  @TheSoodbros  not magic. Cleared by the court for arbitration and sport because UEFA had no evidence. UEFA was offering a fine, City refused then Tebas demanded UEFA ban them. They new they had nonevidence and people like you wouldn't care.
    1
  776.  @TheSoodbros  lol what evidence do you have that any of that is true? Even UEFA don't claim Citys sponsors are over valued.
    1
  777. Very different response though.

  778. Because he won't sign for any of those clubs in the summer. He'll go to Real. If you come now you at least have a chance.

  779.  @superted6743  yea he said he was never interested in signing him,
    1
  780.  @ah89971  come back when they don't sell. Levy is delusional. He still thought last year Spirs were just a manager away from winning the league. He's convinced Kane will resign or at won't they'll get back into UCL with Kane and that will make any loss of transfer irrelvant as they'll make 100m anyway.

But that exposes just how corrupt EUFA is. They tried to charge City for something by breaking their own rules to do so.
    1
  796.  @joeuma6403  please explain how the sponserhsip deals are "clearly fraudulent". What's the evidence? If it's clear why coukdnt uefa provide a single shred of evidence? See your problem is you think fanbase directs sponserhsips. It doesn't. Do you think when Utd sign a pot noodle sponser they're selling pot noodles to utd fans? Surely you can't think that. If Citybhad zero fans it wouldnt Chan anything. Sponsors care about ratings. That's what they pay for. It's easy to prove. Utd's shirt deal is 60m a year. When they fail to qualify for ucl it drops to 40m a year. Did utd lose 20m fans? Or does this show sponsors don't care about how many fans you think they have but how many games are televised and how many people tune in?
    1
  797. Because none of those clubs want to spend and win and they're run by racists.
    1
  798.  @matthewevans5900  that's not even true because 4 clubs voted against it so they aren't the only club. They're the only club that can file a case because you have to have damages from the rule to file. Everton for existence also have problems with the rules but the one City filed against goes against their interests since Everton used those no interest loans from a related party. So obviously them, Arsenal an Wolves etc.. aren't going to be against it. They used them to avoid failing FFP.

  808. No he doesn't. Pep doesn't see him as a 1st team player. He literally only played when City were up at least 3 goals last year. Can't even get on the pitch in friendlies.
    1
  809.  @yoonyulntaeny  but Philips isn't going to play when Rodri doesn't. Kovacic will play the 6. If both were injured Pep would play Stones as the 6. Philips isn't an option.
    1
  810. @yoonyulntaeny  you're beliefs are irrelevant. Pep doesn't rate him. That's why he never plays. Philips didn't start a single meaningful game last year. Didn't come on as a substitute in a single meaningful game last year. Why woukd he now? Pep wouldn't even play him in the com shield or supercup.
    1
  811. If Real want him he'll go regardless. Especially with Salah going and VVD possibly as well.

  812.  @Belligol.  sure you do. You think people have never been charged or found guilty that are innocent? And that with a beyond reasonable doubt metric not a preponderance of evidence. Even with that low bar CAS still found there was "no evidence" of wrong doing. Here isn't 115 charges anyway. Theres 5. Theyve just hyped it up to look more impressive in the papers by making every payment a charge. It's like getting 20 speeding tickets because you speed for 20 km.
    1
  813. ​ @officialquality4007  nobody cares about all comps or the Portuguese league. We're talking about a big league. All comps is the dumbest stat. Nobody cares how many goals someone scores in domesrit cups. If you score 10 league goals and 0 in the cups you've still had a great season. Score 0 in the league and 10 in the cups you're a failure.

City have had loads of players out. We've only got 17 to start. That's way less than anyone else. Stones been injured all season, he was last years starter. Torres been injured all season and now gone and won't be replaced. Kdb and Foden started the season injured and missed the first 6 weeks. City have no strikers, no LBs. Quit crying.

  825.  @Sdrawkcab_mi  I'm saying you don't understand the intention. It's worked exactly how it was intended. It's only intention was to solidify the elite clubs and widen the gap between them and the rest of Europe. It's done that.

  828. @Bdbtg28691  global fanbases aren't what generates revenue. Theyve all pumped "outside money" into their clubs to make them "clubs with rich history" so I guess in 20 years City will be the same.

  834. Because forest and evertons collusion don't meet the requirements Citys do. It's easy to do simple subtraction and see that they've lost more than allowed. Citys books haven't failed the profit and sustainability. They're claiming fraud. They have to prove fraud. They have no evidence so City will win again just like with CAS.

  835. Gundogan lead City with 13 goals not 10, and they had Mahrez, Jesus, Steeling also with more than 10, and KDB, Bernardo etc.. with like 8 etc.. arsneal dont have 7 or 8 players that can score 8+ goals.

  836.  @JayVee53  If they generate all this money why are they loaded with debt? Clearly theyve been spending more than they earn.
    1
  837.  @sunseeker9581  No its not. FFP had only 1 purpose. Keep the cartel in place and stop competition. It hasnt stopped the transfer and wage inflation at all. Its increased massively under it. FFP doesnt effect debt at all. It was supposed to but Real, Utd,.. etc.. balked at it and turned it into a Man City & PSG target.
    1
  838.  @stigv5474  But those clubs spent more than PSG because they generate more. PSG have usurped FFP completely. The French league doesnt generate any revenue. The only reason they got away with it is because they had a person on the EUFA board who sabotaged the case.

  839.  @H4RDSTYLE4L1FE  Net spend is a stupid irrelevant stat. Real have the highest wage bill in football. Just focusing on transfers is missing 50% of spending.

  849.  @konzaros7482  yes yes yes here we go again with the Cotuinho money funding every transfer lfc made. But it's funny how that argument doesn't apply to anyone else. City have a better net spend than lfc the last 5 years. But I don't hear anyone talking about that for some reason. Where lfc had a better net spend it was all about net spend where the year before the stat didn't even exist because its compeltly meaningless. Why is making money on transfers more relevant than prize money, tv contracts,mspondres, etc...? When you buy a new car you don't only use the money you generate from you old car. Nobody says my new cars net spend was X. What you pay is what you pay. But hotnthat Citys net spendnis better suddenly nobody cares about net spend and it's just total spent.
    1
  850.  @konzaros7482  why do you have to sell to buy? Lfc generate like 600m a year. Why do they need to sell players? Where's the money going?

  864. Why woukd that make the complaint more sincere?

    1
  879.  @exgardevior  but they don't need to buy 6 billion kits to improve the shirt sponsorship. You don't think these companies sponsor the kit just to sell shirts do you? You don't think addidas pay 60m to Utd to sell shirts? They definitely don't make 60m in profit from shirts.

  884.  @sinaasviin4139  no its not. Theres no possibility of any ucl club going bankrupt. Look at Barca. 2b in debt, are they going bankrupt? It's just a nonsense smoke screen. The point of ffp is to solidify the clubs the broadcasters want at the top. To make it impossible for Utd, lfc, Real, etc.. to be replaced as an elite club.

If it was about a bigger fee they woukd have continued to take thier calls. The facts are they weren't selling. At the beginning of the summer thebreports were they wanted 100m, when it was clear City would meet that it shifted to 130m, then 150m, then 160m, then 200m. That's not the mark of a series negotiation. That's setting an unreasonable price so you can say your listened with no chnace of actually selling.

  891.  @osmankovacevic6135  It woudlnt improve football at all. It would kill it. Youre missing all the details of how the USA system works. Every team shares revenue and has a salary cap. So nobody can outspend another. Plus they have a draft system so the worst teams have a way to improve. This super league system gives top teams more money so every year they gain more and more money, buying all the best players. The bottom teams get farther and farther away. Its exactly what's happened in Italy, France, Germany and even England. The top get richer and they gain more and more advantage so the bottom teams cant compete. Before the PL promoted teams could compete for the league. Teams like Porto, Ajax,etc... cant compete because they fall farther and farther behind. They woudlnt add teams. They reduce teams. After 10 years of Spurs being at the bottom those top teams would say "Why are we giving them the same money as us?" and cut them out. It 100% would only be a matter of time before games are played in NYC, China, Saudi Arabia,...

  902. ​@Adam18893 so what's the evidence? Did you read the CAS report? They found EUFA had "no evidence". The problem is the moment they bought the club everyone decided they were guilty. Just like everyone claimed for 4 years that Mancini was in the stands for Mark Hughes' last game. A blatant lie told over and over so people believed it. Just because people say a thing doesn't make it true. Everyone said CAS would uphold the EUFA verdict they didn't. So did anyone read the report and admit they were wrong? Nope. They make up lies like "they're really guilty gut it was time bared" or City paid them off to get the verdict. Theres never a situation where you're going to believe they aren't guilty because you all have started with the conclusion they're guilty and cherry pick information to justify your conclusion. Again what's the evidence?

  907. @Kevin Tablet  this just isn't true "we don't see Pep act like this". He goes crazy every goal, especially when they're behind and equalize. That doesn't happen much because they're rarely behind. But when they are and equalize he definitely Reacts like that.

But it'll be better because they lose 3-0 and bore us all to death.

They've qualified for the UCL every year the last 15 years. They've won the PL 8xs in the last 15 years. Thats why they can spend. LFC could spend the same e if they wanted.

You seriously need to stop listening to Florentino cause he's a moron. I get youre a Real fan so you think he walks on water but he's a liar. That was Chelsea fans protesting and it wasnt 40. It was more than 1k. The fans were absolutely the first domino that killed the ESL. It was the fans outrage that gave government the impetus to get involved in an easy baby kissing win. It was the fans outrage that made sponsors nervous and got them involved. If the fans were on board do you think the sponsors would care? The government?
    1
  944.  @asdzxcz1360  Youre misunderstand. EUFA is run by the cartel clubs. They are in favor of the ESL and pushing UCL towards it and using the threat of ESL to force UCL change they want. I never said EUFA was pushing the ESL. Youre just intentionally misrepresenting what I said. If the ESL goes through it detroys football. Every other club becomes irrelevant and goes bankrupt. It helps those 15 clubs and kills everyone else. Nobody wants it. Fans dont want it. Players dont want it. The only people that want it are billionaire owners cause theyre greedy. Yes those clubs would grow of course. But at the expense of the other 500 clubs in europe. Bankrupting 500 clubs to make 15 more popular isnt a good answer tot he problems of football. Real and Barca are in financial straights because theyre poorly run. Not because they dont generate enough money.
    1
  945.  @asdzxcz1360  You really should do some research of words first. Communism is when the military run the country. Nobody is saying the military should run football. Yes sport should be on an equal level. Tye reason the Spanish league is dying is because of its inequality. If 1 or 2 teams have 28xs the wage billmof the others its not competitive. Its why the English league is generating so much more revenue. It's competitive. They don't distribute 90% of the TV revenue to 2 teams.

  946.  @asdzxcz1360  Stop listening to Florentino Perez. I get youre certainly a Real Madrid fan but he's a moron and a liar. Of course it would kill football. It makes all the domestic leagues irrelevant. So the tv revenue drops. It over funds the top clubs and creates even more distance between he havs and have nots, which again makes the league irrelevant. How could it make it easier for smaller clubs to qualify when there is only 5 spots for the rest of europe to qualify? How does that make sense in your brain? It means no other clubs in england can qualify because they aint getting 7 or 8 if the 20 teams. So what are they playing for? Nothing.

  964.  @danniwilder2198  how couldnCFC have done nothing wrong when they've literaly admitted that thier Financials were doctored? Of course it has to do with the football club. The club has to give accurate records of the club. They admitted they weren't accurate. That breaks the rules of the PL and UEFA. They are going to be punished for that.

  965. @HappyClapper63  them who? We're talking about the player. Utd pays more, so they're more appealing. What it did for Rashford was fill his bank account and they won trophies as a result. Unlike Spurs, who's billionaire owners as just greedy and fill their own pockets and win nothing.

  966. Because American olegargy money doesn't work as well? They've spent more post Roman than with Roman.

  969. Footballers are working 6 days a week year round.

  970.  @abumansaray7  yes. And they're working way harder than you are. Sitting at a desk and running 12k twice a week aren't remotly similar. Plus training every day, weights etc..

  971.  @richardandrews5972  I think players need to tell thier FA they aren't playing in those meaningless friendlies. They're afraid of the backlash fans will give them but I think they'll understand.

  978.  @richardjo01  what about it? How did you determine it wasn't just another scam company and was the club making up a fake company to infuse the massively transformative 2m?

  979. Utd. If they want to be able to compete for top players and get out of the groupmstage of the UCL they need to sign quality players. Spurs on the other hand, won't spend money anyway so it doesnt matter.
    1
  980. @RgjDj1878  because they have a monopoly. Theyre the only club in the country that can pay high wages. That's why they sign every good player from their rivals. Their rivals can't pay wages that even Forrest can pay.

  989.  @thebigp2506  so what? Why is that relevant? Where did he make an argument about "the best league"? He simply asked for examples of 5'9" cbs in the PL.

  990.  @thebigp2506  it is a valid reply when the question specifically asked for examples of players that played in the PL.
    1
  991. Long may it continue.
    1
  992.  @ravd8082  it's not. Even Rob Harris admits it's not evidence. You have supposition. They need corroborating evidence to support thier suppositions. They don't have that. That's what CAS ruled.

  993. Hes not the only one. Pep has said it. Loads of managers have been saying it.

  1000. These same people were saying Utd could contend for the title this year and City were weaker. That City were in poor form. Every video post game has been Utd were rubbish nothing that City made them look rubbish.

  1001. And Liverpool wouldn't have won the league with Citys injuries last season. Stop crying and making excuses.

  1008. That's not what that term means.

  1009.  @Ulises-nf6pz  no. A superleague is when you have the best teams from every country. A closed shop with no relegation.

    1
  1011. That's not what he's saying. He's crying because his league can't overspend anymore. He's not looking to reign in spending. He wants Spanish teams spending more than everyone else to guarantee they win more trophies.

  1016. @mk22vids37  3 seasons before. The team was the oldest in the league that barely finished 4th of GD. It wasn't a good team. Doesn't have unlimited funds. Utd have spent more.

  1017.  @ueuehdsuhdh4543  How is not being penalized for something that wasnt illegal "convenient"?
    1
  1018.  @ueuehdsuhdh4543  but City didn't vote for it. So again its not convenient to not be punished for not breaking a rule.
    1
  1019.  @ueuehdsuhdh4543  do you think if they change the speed limit today they send out tickets to everyone for the previous 5 years? When a new rule/law is enacted its not retroactive.

  1020. FFS can we have 1 season where they dont reinterpret the handball rule for the 50th time?

  1021.  @TheRetroManRandySavage  Because things are better than 30 years ago doesnt mean the problem isnt wide spread or institutional. I dont think you know what systemic or institutional means
    1
  1022.  @lilsquzisquirt  Of course. They come up with these absurd definitions of words like you have to walk around in a Nazi uniform or youre not a racist or unless theres laws that specifically say black people cant use a public bathroom then there cant be systemic racism.
    1
  1023. ​ @d.b.cooper1  because they're in ffp trouble. Waiting until July 1 means none of it counts against this season. They need to sell over 200m worth of players just to avoid sanctions. Adding 5m more means they've got to find 5m more plus what they have to pay to psg.

  1024. Hate to break it to you but the charges were reduced to 5, 2 weeks ago. Lol

  1025. Well they dominated the league so why wouldn't they?

  1029.  @scatterthewinds3126  cause a manager that's never been fired and every bug clubbwoukd chop off thier hands for Pep is clearly jnferior to a manager that even Spurs think is done. Lol

  1032.  @vkdeeno  which sponserhsips are ficticious? How did you determine they are set up by the club? NFTs are all scams. How did you determine the club invented this not company and it just wasn't another in a long line of scams set up by someone else? What was the yearly amount in sponserhsip they got for the NFT sponser? 2m 3m? Are you seriously arguing that 3m is the reason City were succesful last year? And without that 3m they don't win the league? Lol
    1
  1033.  @vkdeeno  that's nonsense. Uefa made lots of claims but they had no evidence. That's why the case was overturned by CAS. Provide the evidence for your claims. You have tonstop reading these bogus op Ed's and read the CAS report and look at the actual facts not people's opinions. There was no evidence to support any of these claims.
    1
  1034.  @vkdeeno  no you didn't. Provide the email quotes. You're wrong about why CAS overturned the case. Stop reading biased opinion pieces. The CAS report literaly said "there was no evidence". The only thing that was time bared by the Etisalat deal and CAS also said even if it wasn't it wasn't evidence of wrong doing. Try again.
    1
  1035.  @vkdeeno  so if it's so why don't CAS agree with your interpritaion? You don't understand what inflated means. The 40m a year is the going rate. Uefa agrees its not inflated. It doesn't matter what business covers this much or that much. The deal is the going rate not inflated. Inflated would be if the going rate was 40m and the deal was 100m. I'm not going to spend the next 5hrs explaining how businesses work and how companies with multiple businesses use each other to improve each business.
