Christ, that looks like an Onion Editorial Cartoon. Nice of them to censor the "poo poo" though.

Well it sort of was, wasn't it? Not just for that, of course, but the situation at City at the time was undoubtedly a factor.

City knew the rules and still loving broke them so they can gently caress right off. And they still didn't manage to win a CL CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Jun 5, 2020 |

FFP is 100% to stop things like Portsmouth and Leeds crashing and burning and loving creditors over and wrecking football’s financial reputation, I doubt people at UEFA or any other org seriously care about inflated transfer prices etc since some of that money flows up to them in the end

Yes, it helps stop things like Portsmouth or Leeds, but it also ring fences the "top clubs."

FFP rules overwhelmingly favour the clubs at the top who are already involved in lucrative competitions, and do nothing to stop clubs at the middle-to-bottom from going bust. Half the clubs that have been promoted to the PL in recent seasons have broken the rules and the eventual fines pale in comparison with the rewards of success.

FFP was always a knee jerk reaction to the Chelseas and City's of the world muscling in on the established order of big European clubs, wrapped in a thin veneer of protecting small clubs from going bust. The knee jerkness meant it had loopholes a mile wide and City (and others) exploited them. The where were you when we were poo poo is directly calling out the fakeness of the idea that it's to protect small clubs. This is a completely separate issue to UEFA caring more about City fans disrespecting the Champions League anthem than City players being racially abused. The banners are embarrassing but, football fans gonna football fan.

It's funny how PSG and City bitch about getting hosed by FFP yet neither have faced any serious sanctions. Also neither of them have managed to win a CL yet even after spending billions

PSG complaining about FFP is pretty rich considering who introduced FFP and his relationship with PSG, frankly.

Despite Liverpool Football Club triumphantly winning the World Cup (?) for the first time in 30 years, it's somehow been almost a month since anything was posted in the WW thread, pretty sure this qualifies. From the GBS Cursed Images thread: Lodin posted:They called the kid Ynwa as supporters of a poo poo team, lol.
