aimaad22 4690 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Ooh that's a nice little compensatory claim right there. I suppose we'll wait till City's proceedings are done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBlue 1021 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The Javier Tebas story that was in the media yesterday, saying City (and PSG), have broken European law feels like a non story. Essentially he complained, by letter, to the European Commission in 2023 that the CFG, and by extension City had broken a European law. The law in question was new and came in on 12th July 2023. The law relates to state owned businesses. Essentially it says that states putting money into businesses is uncompetitive, unfair on its rivals. The UK not being in the EU is no get out as we still operate within it. City aren't state owned, but i believe that you are so thought i'd post it here. Fairly sure that the CAS statement said that we're not state owned too. We're owned by a member of the ruling family. Apparently he has heard nothing back from the European Commission, but states it as being ongoing. Personally I assume that means any contracts signed prior to that are golden and no one need worry. The story was in the papers in 2023, so i'm not sure why its in the news. Maybe they've got wind of us winning the 115. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tebas is a Real Madrid fan and he hates us. Not helped by Sheikh Mansour pulling out of a huge finance deal (daily mail) to upgrade the Bernabeu back in 2014. Real tried to restructure payments. The Sheikh said no and pulled out of the finance deal. Real tried to sue the Sheikh but failed. Real ended up getting the finance elsewhere and it cost them a lot more.
