That's ended any chance of Manchester City and Chelsea getting punished for breaking FFP regulations...

Banning clubs from joining a European Super League was unlawful and Uefa and Fifa are "abusing a dominant position", the European Court of Justice has said.
It comes after a case was brought by the ESL and its backers claiming Uefa and Fifa were breaking competition law by threatening to sanction those who joined the breakaway league.
Europe's highest court found against the governing bodies.

Yeah I noticed that too. Pravda news source for WHU ( C & H ) positioning the "we had to sell Declan to pay off the debt" story?
Because we are doing well no one wants to "rock the boat" and start the protests. I understand that but these owners will slide back into their old ways if given an "inch". Problem we have is that in the current climate there is little interest from credible buyers and nothing would happen anyway until the obligation to not sell expires in 2023.
We are stuck with them for at least 2 more years. "The devil we know" :-(

Westham67. I agree I hope they do fuck off. They ate banned from ever re-entering their leagues and fifa ban their players from international competition.
I am still beyond disgusted with any club involved and I think too many people in this country have forgiven and forgotten thank six's attempt to hold everyone to ransome.

I hope it goes forward and get rid on the plastic big six Chelsea were never one of them. They can disappear up there own arseholes playing the same teams every season and players even more mercenary changing clubs for bigger money. Messi could afford to play for free for Barca so fuck his tears

unbelievable isn't it. I've noticed a resumption of club propaganda in the last couple of days since the PAI clowns retreated. C&H on the attack against hammers united, and then Sullivan talking about the new levels of debt, but how 'united' everyone is behind the scenes. it was clearly too much trouble, to expect the little cunt to keep his trap shut for a while season. no doubt the jock on talksport will be activated tomorrow if he's back on air

They were originally fined a few million each by UEFA, but those fines have now been withdrawn now that they've bottled it.

Mike Oxsaw 12:14 Mon Aug 2, No idea where all this is going. I just said what has been happening in the European courts.
My opinion is:
1) Minimum 51% of all football clubs should be owned by the clubs membership.
2) All football on TV should be free to the public, financed by advertising.
3) Ticket prices should be capped by law for all games, whatever competition.

I'm saying nothing of the sort.
I gave no timeline for when the purchase of dominance by the Spanish clubs in question started, but I do accept that they were dominant from very early on. Certainly before football became popular on TV.
How could that be in such an impoverished dictatorship?
Again, it wasn't THE English clubs attempting to buy dominance; the two that did only did so well after the Premier League was formed, which, as I'm sure you are well aware, was NOT the starting point for top class football.
The use of money over talent to gain advantage pre-dates the EPL, so don't try and conflate the two.

Where have I spun anything? All my comments were in response to this statement from you: "Some Spanish and Italian clubs bought their way onto the top table on the never-never. They tried to compete with the best of likes of England and Germany when their true peer group is Holland, Belgium, France and even Scotland."
As you now seem to be saying yourself, the Spanish clubs were already dominant, and it was the English clubs who tried to buy their way to the top table.

Nice try at spin. I suggest you go mack and revise Media Studies 101 yet again.
The two English clubs mentioned tried to match the 3 existing dominant English clubs.
Those were all run efficiently and self-sustaining. That meant the best players wanted to be a part of that set up and many would have probably played for nothing at the time, given the chance.
The 2 upstarts saw buying the best players as the way forward and thus kicked of player/price inflation as we know it today. Chelsea & Man City could afford to do this - everybody else had to borrow like crazy just to keep up. Failure to do so would result in a 2-tier EPL.
The two dominant Spanish clubs had everything stacked in their favour to the detriment of the rest of the league, and probably to the detriment of grass-roots football in Spain.
What they didn't/couldn't buy on credit to sustain any semblance of continuous success, they were gifted.

Also, the English have also had our fair share of normal clubs at the top in the late 70's / 80s. (Forest, Villa and if it wasnt for rioting liverpool fans, Everton). It's a cycle. But the current big clubs want to remove that cycle.

Real Madrid was general Franco's club. You have to put it in context. Even in 2000's when they should have gone bankrupt the Madrid city bailed them out (I think it bought the ground or something).
I think there is a difference between absolute quality and competitiveness. The PL is competitive and therefore interesting but I wouldnt have said until recently they produced better teams than the spanish top 10.
But the reality it's our competitiveness that keeps it interesting and a better selling product abroad.
Spain have given up on their competitiveness and only allowed a top 2 to succeed. Its literally a miracle of Simeone's management that he's in that mix. I dont think its anything to do with how the league is set up financially.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Clubs should be self sustaining and there is no reason for them to be in so much debt. Thats just mismanagement and greed. And they shouldn't be able to warp the competition for everyone else just so they can survive. (Barca and Braithwate for example).

So, you admit now that Barca and Madrid were always at the top and it was in fact the English clubs who tried to buy their way to the top table? The complete reverse of what you were saying before.
