"Fifa has launched an investigation into allegations that Manchester City have broken rules banning third-party ownership through their relationship with Danish club FC Nordsjaelland.

A report in Danish newspaper Politiken yesterday claimed that City signed a contract with Nordsjaelland in May 2016 giving them the right to recruit any player produced by the club’s Right to Dream Academy in Ghana for the next four years.

The contract allegedly states that “in case Manchester City wants to sign one of FC Nordsjaelland’s African talents [they] shall be obliged to use its best endeavours to effect the transfer,” which if accurate could be interpreted as third-party influence over a fellow European club. FIFA banned third party ownership in 2015 and has sanctioned several major clubs for breaching rulers.

so it begins again

Seriously JC, is this true or just a media rumour/shit stirring? Genuine question.

Isn't banning 3rd party ownnership good, I thought this is what the PL brought in a few years back because of the likes of the Tevez deal?

Surely a wind-up.

Just a regurgitation of the German papers shit/extension thereof.

Pathetic at best, sad sad days where the likes of the BBC don't actually employ any real journalists and just employ copy/pasters of other internet sites.

Your man in the other thread was spot on when he says City should have taken Uefa to court back in 2014.

Journalism in football died many years ago, no real reporting, it's all about the immediate click-bait.

I don't think we would but UEFA wouldn't be worried about that,it would've been the fact that the cartel had used a once decent method to look after clubs and turned it into a blunt instrument to stop investment by clubs they wanted to stop.

UEFA were forced into a situation that they didn't want in the first place, the settlement was a way of ensuring that they weren't put into a position where they would've lost all credibility going forward. Plus, we would've forced them to show evidence of the pressure exerted,. Now, that'd have been interesting, moreso than the recent leaks.

Nonsense. You think things would be better now if we'd lost in court?
If UEFA had won we wouldn't have the manager and the team we have now. We wouldn't be complaining about media attacks - they wouldn't be any - we'd win nothing.

We wouldn't have lost JC, and if the leaks are correct, we'd have grabbed the whole corrupt saga, and the corrupt clubs, through the mud for years.

I personally would be loved to see it but the club did the right thing and took the pinch.

You're right Beefy, the risk of losing was too great given the settlement that was negotiated - we took the right course and Mullock is just plain wrong. Bill, a long time poster in the other place, deserves that his latest comment there about this be shared

There are so many attacks on our club its not true.

I have to ask.

A, are we really that good?
B,are they really hurting that much?
C, have we cost them that much money?
D,are they really that scared of what we are going to become?

And of course why were these attacks not forthcoming when a certain other club were dominating?

We have smashed their cartel wide open and I'm so proud of our club. I dont care what sactions they impose, i dont care what division we play in,or what players we do or do not sign,not bothered if they ban us from Europe,as proven with this shit we were never going to be allowed to win it. Only went to the games for the short jolly.

I wonder if they have thought that ANY tournament we are not part of is farce,any win would be diluted. The real champions are over there looking in, a team so feared they wouldnt let us join in.
You take your ball in UEFA but be it at your peril.
