The fat slug will find a way to make it legal......

In fact, isn't it EXACTLY what they accused us of when they claimed our owner was putting his own cash in to circumvent their FFP bollox?

I dont get it - even if the other clubs help to pay his wages Barca are still over the wage cap. How would that solve anything?

Barca and Real are still 2 of the clubs who have to pay back 'state aid' aren't they as well as being 1 billion in debt? The Fat Slug just throws out random shit - worse than my missus watching last night's match - and is pretty unpopular in Spain as well as here.

The state aid repayment is paltry, though: around €5 million, I think. They've saved half that amount in Messi's wages while he's been off their books this past couple of weeks.
