With apologies to those who only mean to have a conversation, I have restricted comments and quote posts on this, something which I hardly ever do. Some of the comments were unacceptable, insulting, threatening, typical of the type of "engagement" some Man City fans had perfected on the other site.

We can see the year on year increase in M.City’s illicit funding up to £135m in 2018 but no info after that. Is there no authority with the power to compel them to be audited for all the years since? As if the dodgy deals didn’t continue. We hear about 9 yrs of cheating but is the reality far worse?

"The league said the commission had found City used schemes “to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900m during the affected period, to appear to comply with financial rules”. £900 million.

Everything about this city thing smells bad. How did they come to announce it in the international break? So there is no city game for weeks. How was that negotiated? Pep jumped ship a year early, he probably knew. All the obfuscation and deception. They’re the worst. Kick them out.

Real gem of a player, who contributed so much to the club throughout his stay. I will always regret that he, a more than decent finisher as well as the best header of the ball at the club (as Nicolas Jover confirmed to me) never got a chance to show what he could do at CF.

It might be time to re-consider the rule which enables clubs to claim 100% profit on sales of home-grown players. It only seems to encourage said clubs to sell the footballers who are the purest and most relatable expressions of their identity.

NYC announced it collect about $9,000,000 in unpaid idling vehicle fines from Amazon delivery vehicles and contractors. Predictably a certain group began stating that this would cause Amazon to refuse to deliver in NYC, blaming Mamdani. Because of course corporations should be above the law.

It is striking that most of the "new" stories about Infantino - his support for the Super League, his alleged mistress when at UEFA, etc etc etc - are not "new" at all. They've been known for a long time, and quite a few of us wrote about them. But nobody paid attention - until now... so -

- what next? Perhaps his tax arrangements in Switzerland? His mysterious trips to the USA in 2015 and 2016, before he was elected president of Fifa? Your guess is as good as mine. But I'd be surprised if something genuinely "new" sprang out.

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?

A month and a half ago, I'd written that Infantino was entering the most dangerous time of his presidency, and that many who were said to "support" him were exasperated with his autocratic style of "governance". It is *very* pleasing, delicious indeed, to see this catastrophe unfold. Gianni's toast.

Just putting it there: the last week has shown how Bluesky has grown into the most reliable, noise-, bot- and BS-free resource for anyone interested in football governance and politics. The coverage of Fifa's and Infantino's debacle has been fantastic. Size isn't everything.

New UEFA statement. "UEFA knows there is significant and growing opposition to FIFA’s scheme. FIFA cannot continue to use our sport to enrich themselves and their friends. We can grow the game correctly. It’s time to prioritise associations, clubs, leagues, players and fans"

Further UEFA statement on FIFA plans

Today we have learned of FIFA’s deadline to associations to support their proposals or have the one-off payout offer withdrawn. This says everything you need to know about this plan.

But having held discussions with many stakeholders across the game, UEFA knows there is significant and growing opposition to FIFA’s scheme. FIFA cannot continue to use our sport to enrich themselves and their friends. We can grow the game correctly. It’s time to prioritise associations, clubs, leagues, players and fans.
