Yes if that's true absolutely. Like I said though, etihad have said they are solely liable so just got to wait til CAS.

None of it is clear at all, that's the problem with talking much about it yet.

Saying solely whilst the entire Abu Dhabi emirate apparatus is linked is somewhat weird.

The £59m was paid by the owner which in some way found its way to Man City.
What did Man City record it as if it went direct to Man City?
What did Etihad record it as if it went through Etihad?
Those are questions with regard to fiscal malfeasance.

As far as FFP is concerned, it is the owners money that went to Man City in whichever way it came. Ie it was money that wasn’t earned by the club yet it was spent. Now if it is recorded as a loan from the owner to the club, that is possible.

But then why the cloak and dagger about Etihad and the £400m sponsorship deal?

It’s obvious that the sponsorship deal was to show FFP is being complied with.
The £59m demonstrates that City had no qualms in going around it.

Really doesn’t look good for City’s owners. Incredibly shady.

A 2 year ban really isn’t very much at all, reckon City should just take it on the chin.

It doesn’t necessarily show any of that though. No matter how many times you repeat it, it doesn’t make it true.

City would have just recorded it as money to cover the Etihad sponsorship. In terms of a loan from the owner, then that makes no sense at all, as the loan would be to Etihad, not City, from Adug. If they paid it direct then you’d have to check ADUGs accounts to see if it was recouped.

You have no idea why the cloak and dagger, neither do
I None of us has enough information to jump to any conclusion fully, so stop doing it.

No it doesn’t. You have to look at the other companies accounts too to prove that.

Again, no it isn’t if it also shows on Etihads books. You cannot know that only looking at one companies accounts.

Who said they’d only be looking at one set of books?

If the paper trail shows to be Sheikh > Etihad > Man City, it absolutely underlines it to be a sham of a sponsorship deal.
Will effectively be null and void.

That plus the champions league ban and Man City will have to either cut their cloth, or go and play in a league that doesn’t care about FFP..

posted on 20/2/20

If the paper trail says that then it still doesn’t show anything unless you also look to see if there’s anything going the other way, that’s what I mean by looking at the other accounts.

Uefa can’t look at Etihads or ADUGs books to the extent they can at City’s. Quite rightly too, neither of them are football clubs and Uefa have no jurisdiction whatsoever to do so.

What id be interested in is the “irrefutable proof” that we keep on saying as I assume that is access to the books to show it anyway.

posted on 20/2/20

If that did happen and it was proven though, then absolutely, we should be punished.

I wouldn’t mind league one, I quite liked it when we were in it last time. No VAR to spoil the match day experience yet either

Have Standard Chartered been using laundered money to sponsor Liverpool?

Not beyond the realms of possibility but do you think CS would let UEFA audit their books?
