Dave Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 So I was today years old when I learned about the Champion's League co-efficient payment. I know I am late to this and probably miles behind Newcastle fans, but this is outrageous. Newcastle and Man United can go out at the same stage and yet United get a much bigger financial reward from UEFA. I'm surprised it isn't being challenged in court as anti-competitive practice. It is so clearly designed to shut out clubs from breaking into the 'elite'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same year The Champions League rebrand started, and Serie A was a beast of its own after Italia 90. David Platt had joined Juventus for 6.5m, Gazza had left English Football for Lazio for 5.5m (reduced from 7.5m after his Gary Charles tackle), meanwhile United had signed Cantona from Leeds for 1.2m. The money and popularity of football was growing so the game still would have still attracted the same type of characters. Silvio Berlusconi was the original Super League advocate after all. Those characters involved in the English game would just more than likely be in charge of different teams on the European continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I mean that movement of cash away from the league pyramid to the top dogs. The PL restructured the money away from the whole pyramid to the rope clubs exclusive to the PL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not happy about my club being one of the loudest voices in that current debate. The PL clubs only have themselves to blame that there's now an independent regulator being put in place.

A major shareholder may trigger sell up clauses in the minor shareholders at any point. It is likely the PIF want full asset control.

Dr. Gonzo Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Amanda Staveley's entire career has been being a middle-woman for bringing Middle Eastern money to British and American business, being the friendly face that helps ease them in, and then getting her cut and fucking off to do it again. This was never going to be any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that we don't know what her condition is at this stage of the huntington's, nor will it be made public. As a degenerative disease it gets worse the older the person gets. 4 hours ago, DeadLinesman said: Except for when she used it in a public court several months ago as a defence………. Yes and it will be a defence because it can impact capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
