Barcelona spent Neymar's money on Dembélé.
This is just pathetic.Anybody with a modicum of commonsense can see why La Liga are doing this, and it's all because PSG dared to buy Neymar from Barcelona and they're now acting like a bunch of slapped arses and lobbing accusations around without any supporting evidence. Do you honestly believe that this complaint would've gone in if PSG hadn't bought Neymar? I wouldn't mind but what PSG do is nothing to do with City anyway and it's not like Qatar and Abu Dhabi are best of friends at the moment. Just because both clubs are owned by people from a similar part of the world doesn't mean they're 2 sides of the same coin. Funny how no-one ever complains about Mike Ashley and Peter Coates sponsoring their own clubs - maybe for some, the fact they don't have brown skin and aren't Muslim has something to do with it.
As for the numbers not adding up, how do you work that one out? Have you gone through City's accounts with a fine tooth comb? Perhaps we should get you and that muppet Tebas from La Liga to independently audit City's accounts in future seeing as though you both have so much inside knowledge of our finances
If you're right then Super league without those clubs is not too far off in the horizon.
UEFA feel exactly the same way. They're just trying to pre-empt that by doing it first. It'll probably start with the CL final taking place in somewhere like New York, then Beijing, then probably Qatar as you say. It's definitely happening in the next decade. Soon enough they'll embed non-home games into the regular fixtures.
Why is it? I never said it was the case for everyone, just some people. So unless you're saying there aren't any racist football fans then no it isn't pathetic. I've seen and heard more than enough racist abuse spouted about City's owner down the years.
In theory the only thing that matters for FFP is that the owners make sure that the money in the club can cover the expenses. But because a group of clubs control football, they added some really stupid and illegal rules that prevent owners from actually and directly put the money on their companies/associations bank accounts.
I have done.Nowt wrong with Stockport mateYou should pay a visit some time
People don't say the same thing about them because it isn't the same thing, as simple as that. There was a lot of stuff about RA's takeover of Chelsea too and it wasn't to do anything with this skin colour or religion.
It's stupid because I'm pretty sure that people complained about Monaco in 2013, your first sentence is correct the second one is stupid because unnecessarily inflammatory.
More likely to be because the sponsorship deal there is worth about £6.99 rather than €200m like PSG and whatever yours is than anything to do with racism. That's a really bizarre angle to take.
Oh yeah
And you have reason to believe that Newcastle are violating them?
What you are saying is absolutely ridiculous. Not everyone is racist. Yes there may be racist football fans but this has got nothing to do with that, you are going off topic.
No, it really isn't. I bet if Coates and/or Ashley were to suddenly start embarking on a level of spending akin to City's there wouldn't be quite the level of animosity in some quarters about it. You only have to look at how Jack Walker's bankrolling of Blackburn Rovers was viewed and how he was by and large given a free pass.
This has to be one of the longest reaches of the race card Ive ever seen. Pathetic
I though the idea was that a club had to make it's own revenue.
Where did I say everyone is racist? I think you need to give your head a shake and read my posts properly.
I never said they were. I think you're getting mixed up with what I was saying
Lol! You think people would not complain if Stoke or Newcastle started buying players for 200m?
Jesus wept
Seriously, where was I playing the race card? I've not accused a single person on this forum of being racist - all I was doing was pointing out that City's owner has come in for a lot of racist abuse down the years from football fans and media alike.Yeah, they would mate but they'd also get a free pass in certain circles
In all your posts you seem to fail to get a simple point that it is UEFA we're talking about. No one in Germany or Italy cares that clubs do in their own league as long as it doesn't impact UEFA competition by those teams directly participating in it.
Nobody said anything about anyone on here. You using the Arab families skin colour as a factor in all this is the pathetic race card.Jesus wept
Yeah, he could.
Just an example. Could have been another club which could use the money.
Wrong. I was only saying that it's a factor for some people, not everyone. You seem to be implying that it's not a factor for anyone which in itself implies that there is no racism in football. I know you know that this isn't the case of course and I'm happy to discuss this further by PM if you want.
Of course it has a lot to do with the origin of the owners (and contempt for the clubs not belonging to the established football aristocracy). The vast majority of successful football clubs in history benefited from sugar daddies or other forms of financial help. People are acting as if what is happening in Manchester and Paris is something new but it really isn't. The only thing new with these owners is their background.
Bingo.
Maybe it's more to do with Real/Barca/La lige being utter cnuts for years and now when things don't go their way that act like little pathetic bitches at every opportunity?
Its UEFA that investigate this not the EDL or BNP ffs. What some racist toe rag in the stands thinks about Citys owners has got feck all to do with this.
People were complaining when Chelsea threw around the money, people were wary about Chinese money, in Germany a lot of people hate RB and their Austrian money and I'm sure a lot of fans in Italy will resent Milan's spending. The only reason the latter aren't in the spotlight is because PSG and their dealings are overshadowing them.
What supporting evidence do you think they need to suspect or pretty much know that PSG's legitimate revenue couldn't afford Neymar? It requires one or more employee at La Liga to be capable of basic maths.Anybody with a modicum of commonsense can see why La Liga are doing this, and it's all because PSG dared to buy Neymar from Barcelona and they're now acting like a bunch of slapped arses and lobbing accusations around without any supporting evidence. Do you honestly believe that this complaint would've gone in if PSG hadn't bought Neymar? I wouldn't mind but what PSG do is nothing to do with City anyway and it's not like Qatar and Abu Dhabi are best of friends at the moment.
