MANCHESTER CITY "DECEIVED UEFA" OVER FFP RULES

Man City: Uefa 'deceived' over FFP regulations, claims Der Spiegel
Man City: Uefa 'deceived' over FFP regulations, claims Der Spiegel
Manchester City and their sponsors manipulated contracts to circumvent Uefa's Financial Fair Play regulations, according to Der Spiegel.
The German news magazine claims it has seen internal documents which show that City officials discussed how to wipe out a £9.9m shortfall in 2013.
Der Spiegel also reports that City owner Sheikh Mansour provided monetary supplements to existing deals with sponsors in Abu Dhabi, where he is part of the royal family, to invest more money into the club.
City say they will not be commenting on the claims, which come after initial allegations about the club and FFP were published by the magazine on Friday.
La Liga president Javier Tebas made a similar claim last year, with European football's governing body Uefa responding by saying it was not investigating City, who have won the Premier League three times since Sheikh Mansour took over in 2008.
Uefa found City had breached FFP rules in 2014 and the two parties reached a settlement, with City paying a £49m fine - £32m of which was suspended - while their Champions League squad was reduced for 2014-15.
Der Spiegel calls the settlements "weak" and claims Uefa "wasn't even entirely aware of the degree to which it had been deceived".
Italian manager Roberto Mancini was sacked in 2013, just after City had failed to defend their first Premier League title and lost the FA Cup final.
Der Spiegel reports that, in an internal email, City's chief financial officer Jorge Chumillas wrote: "We will have a shortfall of £9.9m in order to comply with Uefa FFP this season. The deficit is due to RM termination. I think that the only solution left would be an additional amount of AD sponsorship revenues that covers this gap."
The email also allegedly presented details of the contracts that would be adjusted, with Der Spiegel claiming that Etihad, Aabar and the Abu Dhabi tourism authority all paid more than had been agreed at the beginning of 2012-13.
Der Spiegel quoted another internal email, sent by club executive Simon Pearce in April 2010, regarding an annual £15m deal with investment company Aabar.
It read: "As we discussed, the annual direct obligation for Aabar is £3million. The remaining £12m will come from alternative sources provided by His Highness."
City representatives have said the Abu Dhabi-based companies are independent sponsors.

Re: MANCHESTER CITY "DECEIVED UEFA" OVER FFP RULES
The Der Spiegel articles released so far have been quite the read. These Emirate dudes no send! LOL a lot of butthurt established clubs have to be behind these leaks. This one nah proper attack. Who can punish City?
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

I'm surprised it's taken this long for this sort of article to come out. You don't need to be an accountant to tell that City's financial picture mathematics does not add up. Only UEFA knows why they've been afraid to throw the book at them.

Don't mind them. UEFA should collect Man City's titles and give them to the team geographically closest to them, so as not to deprive the great Manchester.

Re: MANCHESTER CITY "DECEIVED UEFA" OVER FFP RULES
Because the concept of FFP is crooked and UEFA knows it. If they decide to challenge it in court and the Arabs win FFP will be dead.green4life wrote:I'm surprised it's taken this long for this sort of article to come out.
