And since Boyata isn't eligible for the English national team, the 'homegrown' rule is yet again shown as the farce that it is.
wengerboy said:It seems to be working, city and psg have had quite windows. Also have seen a desire for clubs to built new stadiums. With even a.Madrid real Madrid and barca pushing for it. We have an advantage but the others will catch up city Liverpool and Chelsea are only looking to expand their ground now so it won't cost as much. I think the club should stay ahead and expand emirates. Our stadium is an advantage and we need to keep it that way.
bingobob said:Ffp is a joke. Investigating Liverpool who although breached them done so pale in comparison to city and psg with fines and squad limitations as punishment. Fine the mega rich and limit the squad of a team filled with two quality players per position like that will affect them how many teams use every registered player not many.
Throw them out is the real punishment but uefa are frightened sponsors will pull out.
It's all somewhat connected. Fining Liverpool will be more effective than fining clubs with unlimited funds but it is the worst type of punishment which we agree on. I wasnt being sympathetic to Liverpool their overspending screwed us it is just the disparity in their crimes. It's like one guy getting caught with a ten bag of grass and another getting caught with 10 ounces of grass. If city received the maximum punishment available now then Liverpool, if found guilty, will receive a lesser penalty. In reality Liverpool for their minor breach should receive city's punishment and city should receive a ban from European football for one season.Iceman10 said:bingobob said:Ffp is a joke.

There are two separate components in your comment:
(a) Not sure what you are saying precisely regarding investigation of Liverpool. They may be a different case to PSG and Man City but that does not deserve sympathy because Liverpool have still breached FFP while many other clubs have made sure they have complied with it, including ourselves.
(b) Fines vs. competition exclusions / points deductions - this has been discussed already quite a few times on this thread so won't go into any detail except for to say from what I've seen everyone agrees that fines for breaches of FFP are a farce.
A group of Paris Saint-Germain supporters is challenging UEFA's financial regulations in a French court.
The fans are suing the French football federation and the league "to denounce the multiple infringements of European Union law caused by the UEFA break-even requirement."
According to their lawyer, the supporters have asked the Paris court to declare UEFA's financial fair play rule "null and void."
Lawyer Emmanuel Daoud argued in a statement that the rule goes against the fundamental principles of competition law within the European Union. The fans have launched a similar action with the European Commission, and a court in Brussels.
PSG were among the first clubs sanctioned by UEFA for overspending on player transfers and wages last May.
