@BBRBB After melting the LFP's heart, he is seducing the UEFA.:lol:

:D

On a serious note he was elected by the association of European clubs. If the traditional big clubs hadn't been shamelessly working on screwing the smaller clubs to their benefit for years under their previous ECA mandate they would've been reelected.

Some people are still able to see past prejudice and know an honest man when they see one.
 
The green smilies say it all. Everyone knows it's corrupt but we all just laugh it off because nothing can be done.
 
Incredible, would love to be in the position these guys are in. Can literally do whatever the feck they like as they have nobody to answer to
 
I am sure he will be a hardliner on enforcing the Financial Fair Play...
 
Despite that the Caf decided so, FFP were never meant to prevent clubs like City and PSG. It was more to prevent Portsmouth scenarios, where clubs spend money they don't have.

PSG's owner has put a billion or so in football. Better him than Gazidis who was CEO of a club who took hundreds of millions from football to owner's pockets.

These clubs spend outside of their trading means by some way, just their owners donations falsify their trading revenue with bogus sponserhip/marketing arrangements. Either way you slice it, it’s totally unethical to elect the guy to a senior position in UEFA

Yes, they spent money of the owners, same as has been happening since the inception of football. Again, FFP wasn't meant to prevent these cases.

Why it is unethical to have him, but not someone like Ivan Gazidis (or David Gill before)?

I think UEFA needs to be disbanded now. Absolute farce.

I wonder how easy it would be for all the big clubs to walk away and make their own competition. UEFA and FIFA seem have more powers than government.

David Gill didn’t own a football club, and didn’t pump any money into Manchester United. He left his position at the club to go to UEFA.

For a club owner, who is breaching rules to then get on a board that sets the rules is completely unethical.
 
The r16 draw must have been rigged, they picked the weakest team to play PSG, well joke's on them now after our turnaround!
 
Shameless

How are they not accountable?. Can we get the EU on it?

He is supposed to be competent and likeable, so I understand why other officials would support him but I also understand why the anti sugar daddies are upset. What I don't get is how anyone can be on the side of the old cartel, they are the most dishonest bunch.

Al khelaifi isn't a club owner..
 
Honestly, saying these people have no shame is an understatement at this point.

How has the world gotten to the point where corruption is accepted so willingly these days?
 
There's currently a campaign for electing the chairman of our FA and yesterday Ceferin, the president of UEFA, gave out a declaration of support for the current sitting chairman and therefor openly and directly affecting a campaign that he should not be intervening with at all.
 
Chairman Steve said:
Oh Jesus Christ. He owns a television network, a football club and now has a place on the board of the biggest football federation outside of FIFA.

Think it’s safe to say that you don’t listen to beIN Sports when their people are talking about FFP.

You forget a lot of things like

- funding rival clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munchen
- ...
- playing a role in the future as regards the 2020 World Cup in Qatar

Why are people blaming UEFA for a decision, that as far as I can tell, they had no part in (yet) ?


ECA =/= UEFA.

It is unethical to have him because he has constructed false (or at least highly questionable) commercial contracts as a way to flaunt FFP rules. The key word is unethical. Whilst there is a question (and there certainly is) he should not be elected to such a position

It's like a trade union for the top European clubs. They represent the clubs on UEFA matters, like money.

I see, thanks. In that case I don't think the "appointment" is particularly extraordinary. He is a representative of a big european club.
 
Even after Blatter and Platini got caught being corrupt bellends it's still blatantly going on in football.
