Potential Transfer Ban

[Bluez]

Chevrolet are about to start a 53 mil per year deal with Utd. Our 35 mil per year deal with Ethiad is beginning to look like a bargain for Ethiad. No way that can be considered not market price.

Why?

Trouble is Beef is that it is not the size of the deal but the nature of it which is being looked at - they believe that Etihad/quatari sponsors have direct links with the owners of the club and they have deemed that an ffp back door

We are owned by one of Abu Dahbi's royalty - that fact and the exposure he is giving Abu Dahbi globally makes us a very attractive prospect for sponsorship by businesses from that country... The rags are owned by Yanks and they've got a huge deal with an American car firm - Is that not the same thing?!?

No it's not the same thing. The Glazer's only link to Chevy is being from the same country. Which is a lot different than Mansour's brother being the chairman of Eithad.

My bet is we get a fine, pay it and everything carries on as normal.

That's a giggle as well, EUFA...."Lets put the mockers on all these upstarts with shit loads of money, we can threaten them with expulsion etc, etc and if that fails we can...........fine them"

Oh i don't know . The rags are morally Bankrupt, extracting as much out of disasters . Owned by the Glazers who are almost Financially bankrupt , bleeding money out of the Swamp. Whilst General Motors actually did go bankrupt needing a goverment bailout to continue. Three great examples of how Capitalism and free enterprise operates.
They are all Bankrupt in some way or other.

They've milked every connection over the years from goverment funding stands for the World cup to the abbatoir and back.

Mind, i'll get slaughtered for writing this :-)

I agree on the rags being morally bankrupt. As far as the American car industry I want go into what I think there biggest problem has been. I've had heated debates with my dad who worked for Chrysler and was a union rep.

Ronald Regan, stopped a change in the laws for gas guzzlers, introduced by Jimmy Carter to reduce the dependence on petrol and foreign oil imports. To impose a consumption tax.

This signalled to Detroit that they could continue producing 5,6 even higher liter engines sometimes with v8, v10 ,v12 blocks.

Gaz guzzlers after this change in 1986 i think, continued and no fines were made, because of Regan . This meant Detroit carried on producing inefficient sometimes very ugly and poor quality cars and trucks.
Meanwhile Honda particularly and Toyota and Nissan cleaned up with more modern and efficient cars. The consumption tax was repealed .
The japanese took over the us car market.

GM in their arrogance continued producing poor quality cars at high prices ( not just labor costs), and technically not bankrupt were bailed out by the government, similar to how Communism works.

If the US truly was a free market economy neither Chrysler or GM would exist today as we know them. Indeed look at what has happened to Detroit itself , never mind the car companies.

All of this doesn't belong on a footy forum though.btw i used some american english words here.

When will we find out what/if any punishment we will get for breaches of FFP?

I hope our punishment isn't too much for having loads of money.

I may as well sound like a child if that's what the governing body sounds like...
