Financial Fairplay Investigation - 2025 Nobody in Breach

Can't get this in Spain...

oooohhhh look at me, I'm in Spain. Pathetic.

Plenty clubs build stadiums, plenty get relegated, fair enough not many do both at the same time but it's also rare for a club's accountants to say this.


It's worth noting that Moshiri has now effectively withdrawn that funding.

Usmanov was a shareholder at Arsenal, he had no place on the board at Arsenal so wasn't subject to any PL checks. He wasn't subject to any checks at Everton either as on paper he had no official position at the club, he was sanctioned as was USM and Megafon so that put a stop to all the sponsorship he was pumping into the club but he didn't need to pass any fit and proper checks. I can't really add much more to what you're saying, you're very blinkered and naive to a lot of things going on at the club but you've obviously not been aware of a lot of things either, as the above about Usmanov proves. Dig around a bit more on him, suspicious £30m naming rights for BMD, already banned from the UK in Sept 2021, Moshiri on the board of USM etc, no wonder the club didn't want his name on anything official. The war did fuck things with him and us, but again, I'm not 100% but I think the sanctions only came into effect at the end of the period we've been penalised for as the war only started 2 years ago and the sanctions came in around March 2022?

If we'd been docked 3-5 points I certainly wouldn't have any complaints, I've said before I don't think we want anyone looking too closely at our books and dealings over the last few years, take the hit and move on. As fans it's shite because we get caught up in it all and we're the innocent ones but I'm not going to sit and pretend the club (not the fans) haven't brought a lot of this on themselves and we probably did deserve some sort of punishment but what we got was excessive.

Ta Gash certainly some points clarified i am (maybe wrong) under the impression that he did have to go through the Fiduciary checks i read it somewhere around the time he came on board because of the "manner" he came on board....but cant remember where..i maybe wrong....
I'm not blinkered or naive at all just get a bit fed up of the actual negativity surrounding the club when realistically no one outside the club really knows what went on and what was/wasn't presented....but people are very sharp to point fingers and put the knife further in...maybe that is my naivity and bias towards the club i've loved since 1962 ? Blue tinted glasses and all that...
What everyone is agreed on is the fact that the punishment was draconian.
Good discussion though mate nice to have a slightly differing opinion without it deteriorating into resorting to name calling.

I'm hoping I get a signal in the Maldives. If I can't I'll go to Dubai in the Lear

Just for the record I'm also in Spain at the moment and it's been 23 degrees here in Malaga today and glorious sunshine.

23 degrees in Feb?! Trying to remind myself why I love in the UK and can only think of 'i was born there' as the answer.

Just in case anybody was wondering what client journalism looks like.

[superpull]

To be fair, he deffo thought "belled" meant something other than "telephoned".

I can't imagine it's common language outside of Merseyside/North West

[brap2]

Just remembered our root and branch strategic review that found everything was going really well, no notes

[toffee_scot]

They did well marking their own homework and then getting Tim Cahill to pick Lampard as manager.

[777Kidnappings]

Probably in a minority but find Tim cahill to be a self serving prick

Did you retire out there or go for work?

I’m looking for my next work move at the minute to leave Belgium and as interesting as the options are (Boston, Budapest, Quebec or North Carolina) none of them are hot places - considering looking at changing companies just for the opportunity to live somewhere hot

Yes you are. Just out of interest, why?
