depends on how much it cost them
what i meant was how much did it cost them in bribes...
I’m glad it was overturned, I reckon it’s irking Europe’s elite that the noisy neighbours are muscling in much the same as the Premier League’s ‘royalty’ had their noses put out of joint by the rise of Man City, forget the money aspect, at heart, they’re a proper club with proper fans who readily admit that they’ve won the lottery. All the crap they’ve had to put up with from the red shite over the years must make it even sweeter. Still been fined a measly (for their owners) €10 million, if they were to be fined it could have been a lot more with the proviso that the money was filtered down to struggling lower league clubs.
I think the financial fair play rules need to be looked at again, they are currenlty too skewed in favour of teams with traditionally large commercial revenue.
If some billionire wants to pump a load of his money into a club then that's their lookout
I've not read the judgement in detail but my interpretation is CAS have effectively stated that refusal to cooperate with an investigation is not the same as being found guilty of an offence. Surely anyone who wants to break FFP just has to refuse to co-operate with any FA, UEFA or FIFA investigation. At least until the FFP rules are changed to make non-cooperation as bad an offence as being found guilty.
The CAS ruling makes a mockery of FFP and UEFA and effectively allows rich clubs to do as they want (as we fell victim to in the Rabbi Matondo case).
Remarkably UEFA didn't spot that one ,and isn't there some strange tax concession issue going on in Spain ??
