RANGERRAB 3,664 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The problem is UEFA & FIFA seem to think they are some sort of authority on legal matters. They're not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN63 0 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 can't imagine this will be successful, but if the EU is providing bailouts to countries who are financially impoverished and then the governments, both national and local within those countries, are using that money to finance their football teams, then the imbalance between two of Europe's most successful football teams is being financed by the tax payers within more stable economies such as the UK and that surely cannot be right? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I remember the Athletico Madrid vs Atletico Bilbao final a few years back, with especially Madrid being up to 130m in the red, mainly unpaid taxes and player insurances. At the time, the Spanish government gave the top tier teams till 2020 to pay back (I don't hold my breath) their overall Euro 1.3bn debt in tax and unpaid player insurances. A month or so later Spain asked for help from the European Union. UEFA stood idly by and had no problems with Madrid back then and now. "Financial fair play" ... that sounds good on paper and on the airwaves. The top leagues and team in Europe laugh about such ideas and will probably jump ship should UEFA try to get them into line. For at the end of the day, UEFA does not pay these players their income or finances these clubs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Cooper 0 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 What does Fifa and Alex Thomo have to say about this then? You would think this was right up Thomos street! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc 280 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 What does Fifa and Alex Thomo have to say about this then? You would think this was right up Thomos street! You would THINK. But then Thomo's investigative eye is a bit blind when it comes to Celtic. Nevertheless those figures are a scandal. And the stupid Timmy commentor at the end can't even read. The tables say prices of "Land for Development". That's just the prize for greenfield or brownfield land, not land that's been developed. Of course the value would increase when something gets built on it but that's not what the calculation is about. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll phone BBC Scotland right away and tell them to get their Investigative Journalist Mark Daly onto this right away 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
