"Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League over breaking financial rules across nine seasons, the league announced on Monday." https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4870556/man-city-charged-over-multiple-ffp-breaches I don't know what the biggest fine is but if it's some money only then everything will be fine.🤑

What ingredients do you have this time?😄

As I read the articles Chelsea risks a lots with this movement. They are 12 points behind from UCL places and they should pay the wages for those long term contracts. This could increase €7-8M/player/year the wage costs and from this summer clubs could spend only 90% of their incomes to wages/agent's fees. This limit will decrease to 80 and to 70 in the next 3 years. So if Chelsea will lose the UCL money but they should pay the star wages for the next years they won't pass the financial fair play criteries and all the business will collapse.

The new thing is the mass of long term contracts. If you sign a player for 5-8 years the costs of €50M will be a small part of your budget every year. If you make this 3-4 times in a year you can get 3-4 superstars for €50M for a year in total.

There is a very interesting article in the "The Athletic" how Chelsea's €90M spending is possible. https://theathletic.com/4142276/2023/02/01/chelsea-transfer-window-spending-finances-why-how/ Long story short: you can shorten your expenses to sell players from your academy and Chelsea has a lot of promising players (many them in loan). We are talking about 50-60 players around the world. The other leg of the trick is to divide the transfer costs to years. Chelsea has made a lot of long term contracts which means a 6 year-€60 M contract costs only €10M/year in books. Third and final leg is the special covid rules to allow you to make -€90 M loss/year. So it seems everything is legal, but UEFA will cut dividing contract costs up to 5 years in the future.

Check the community discord post. There is a space for mods. I thought someone with tool would be ideal for the (ban)hammer position.🤭

Augsburg played today very well.

"No one was pushed, no one was forced." You have missed this part to highlight Mr. Presdent.

Btw Mr.Tool, ready to use your (ban)hammer in the discord chat?😁

United Europe: when a tennis player with a background from a serbian minority of Bosnia represents Norway against a player from the hungarian minority representing Serbia.

Applying for the local licence is now possible. It could last 6 months till the gain. The main question is Unibet is a betting company with small poker revenue or a poker company with a small betting revenue. If the first, then they will get the licence but maybe they will close the poker section. If second is true then poker will be available without licencing troubles but betting will be terminated. Ther es no third option gaining licence for betting and poker (casino) too. Interesting, we will see what will happen.

Bierhoff is coming.🤣

I have a bet Hoffenheim-Mönchengladbach over 3,5 goals. Vamoooosssssss!

Opps, I thought those questions are about 1 game so I have tried to trick the system and answered the third 3 question with 0-0 before realized the difference.😄

I know it's a feature, not a bug, but last night regstration ended 5 minutes before tournament started in the €0.40 Spuermoon flip when we were 2 players short. I know this could prevent people to cheat but could you review it and consider adding a standard 1 minute before tournament starts closure? Thanks.

@WuDu: I demand answer! "FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — A leading soccer referee in Germany was awarded 48,500 euros ($52,800) in compensation on Wednesday after a court found he was discriminated against when he was no longer considered for games because of his age. The court in Frankfurt found the 49-year-old Manuel Gräfe, who officiated 289 Bundesliga games from 2004 through 2021, had been disadvantaged by the German soccer federation’s practice of not considering referees over the age of 47." German referee wins compensation for age discrimination

Hmm, no Modeste, no party.

Release the Modeste and let the match finish.

Ok, another BVB try, 2,38 seems good enough for the win. If not I will demand answers.😁

FunckyFish's argument is perfect. Handycap is settling if the other outcome couldn't become true before the retirement. So this is a void.

Should be void.

I think the Sauna Men is currently in Wien boarding towards Malta:😂 Have a nice trip Tr. Tool.🚴‍♂️

Well, it was a great shot.

It's very annoying reading those unanswered withdraw/bonus issues. Those guys deserve more attention and care. Hire Mr. Tool to take care those cases. He will do it for a bunch of breads.🥰 source: https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.1116539202.3734/st,small,507x507-pad,600x600,f8f8f8.jpg

Poor Schalke. It seems they like rollercoasters to second divison and up. Btw I made a just for fun bet Köln to win.
