Pep knew it had been sorted.

No way were the corrupt PL money-grabbers going to upset one of their biggest cash cows.

Stinks.

I am truly amazed !
Wouldn't have anything to do with having the WC in that area soon would it ?
NO no no of course not

"The club wishes to thank the panel members for their diligence and the due process that they administered,"

And will no doubt be doing so shortly via Swiss Bank Accounts...

Yep shocking...

It’ll all come out one day, just like it did with FIFA (Old Sepp Blatter was innocent for a long time).

Well personally I'm not a fan of FFP anyway - all it does it perpetuate wealth for the existing elite.

Man City have broken into that elite by spending obscene money, but it isn't all on players wages - it also goes into local infrastructure creating local jobs. Put it this way, how on earth is any club supposed to compete with the old guard unless they have an injection of capital that temporarily outstrips wages?

Real Madrid have been doing it for years.
PSG were effectively given a mild slap.

I was more surprised the level of charges brought (or should that be bought [emoji6]) in all honesty......

The inevitable European super league will happen. The rich will get richer.....

I agree 100% with you that the decision stinks, but in fact that particular issue is unlikely to be involved. Qatar and the UAE are at total loggerheads, and have been for a couple of years now. No way would Abu Dhabi interests align with those of Qatar WC2022.

It was always going to happen. If not, then there would have been a further legal bun fight that went on for years.
