No doubt they'll be claiming he came through their academy, then.

It's a business plan imo. Look at the timing of big spending by Arse, Utd & all. Even if ffp is kicked out, they have watered down competition for a period allowing them to gain an advantage. This kind of advantage would be worth millions if it was espionage etc but they get it for free from UEFA, plus all the details of our accounts etc for them to check what we're up to & figure out our next moves.
It's corporate corruption in action right in front of everyone's faces with some actually cheering it on.
Beefymcfc wrote:Of course, you are both right. At a time when all 4 of our league associates were wanting to curtail spending and still keep their noses in the CL trough, the implementation of the current version of FFP was only brought in for one reason and one reason alone. The fact that they then allowed somebody to take control of it who is still employed by one of our immediate rivals just took the whole FFP farce beyond belief.
OK, we'll play it your way, give us a fine, but to then limit spending in a ruse to ensure that the G14 can go out and hoover up the talent, at their prices, is quite incredible.
Only a few clubs can pay the 60 mil + for players and so the circle perpetuates for ever more. Big clubs pay the highest prices and get the best players. The limitations on our ability to compete may have just given the cartel the breathing space they needed and in the Rags case, opened the door to a way back into the competition.

Is this likely to have even a gain of truth or is this a deliberate effort to set us up for a 'snub' headline in the days to come ? And if that is the case, just how fucking keen are these characters to put one over on us ?

IF it was true then it's probably come from Real or Tia Maria's agent just to bump the price up a little.
Be nice to think it'd come from our camp and we stretch it out 'til deadline day.

I'd hope we would have more sense than to actually pay it though.

correct. Totally unbalanced squad. Its like a club out of contention for years just flailing wildly looking for the spark, not a team that was champions less than two years ago. I'm actually surprised they are buying so badly and without any sense at all.

It was obvious in Red Nose's penultimate season, even to the rags at work, that they needed a dominate centre back to replace Wio/Vidic and a proper dominant paring in midfield, yet they have spent three years buying players for positions in which they had better cover. Odd.
