Mr Popodopolous Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Saw this on my Twitter feed last night and found it again earlier. Didn't realise but European prosecutors are genuinely interested it appears in the guy behind Football Leaks or one of them- he is Portuguese and currently fighting extradition from Hungary- may go well beyond FFP but law will take its course etc. However, it appears that PL, FA, UEFA and FIFA- no interest. https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/football-leaks-chelsea-manchester-city-fa-premier-league/ However- and I apologise for the source- this article hasn't aged well because a day after being written I just found this with a quick search... https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8570322/man-city-probed-by-four-governing-bodies-as-the-premier-league-champs-fume-at-football-leaks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Well well... That Independent article- assuming this story isn't a sham- seems to have moved things. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/11657973/uefa-probes-manchester-city-over-potential-financial-fair-play-breach With what they have seemingly allegedly been allowed to get away with, I half wonder(ed) whether UEFA with certain clubs have been pretending to take it all very seriously with fingers crossed behind their backs or a wink and a nod or stand there whistling... "Yes we *will* 'investigate' you for FFP."..while secretly agreeing with the clubs that any publicly announced declaration was just for PR. If not? If they are guilty...Throw the book UEFA!! The matter of admissibility is a questionable one, but if prosecutors are willing to consider documents such as these, then perhaps it *might* be acceptable for UEFA to do likewise.

It’s about the guy behind all of the leaks that have come out over the last few years. Written by a journalist from Der Spiegel who met up regularly with him. You’ll see the game in a far different light after reading it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 https://talksport.com/football/511655/manchester-city-fifa-transfer-window-ban/ Not quite Football Leaks related but can feed in a bit- much like Chelsea both may face a Transfer ban if found guilty of their respective alleged offences.

That'd be FIFA- the FFP stuff UEFA. I suspect it's a bit of both, can't think Man City or Chelsea e.g. are squeaky clean in how they conduct transfer business- mind you is anyone?
