No mate, its actually really simple: If you can't provide documents to attest that the money you pump into the club comes from legit sources, you shouldn't be allowed to compete.
Would you feel more at ease with the decision if we would be punished by a rule that says explicitly that?
Its been over a year of this cloak and dagger shit, they either come clean or fuck off. They are not good for Milan in their current state.
Of course I would! They can't just bend their own rules and regulation how they want and whenever they want just to find an excuse to punish us.
Look: Up to this date, there hasn't even been any statement from UEFA saying that they denied both the voluntary and the settlement agreement because they doubt the money doesn't come from a legit source (no matter if the legitimacy of the owner [should] interact with FFP-issues or not).
What they actually said is:
“The UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has decided to refer Italian club AC Milan to the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB for breach of the Financial Fair Play regulations, in particular the break-even requirement.”
“There remains uncertainties in relation to the refinancing of the loan and the notes to be paid back in October 2018.”
So what they basically say in smart sounding words is: We don't trust Li, and that's why we punish the football club he owns.
It's like excluding Chelsea from CL because they don't trust the legitimacy of Abramovic's oil-money.
And while for many unknowing fans this accusions seem to be quite legit, hence why they are blaming Li for not coming out and clear the mess or Fassone who's supposedly not able to provide legit documents, people who have more knowledge about FFP have stated their perplexity of the reasoning behind denying the settlement agreement.
Umberto Lago, one of the founders of FFP,
who perfectly puts in easy words why this shouldn't be an issue for UEFA and it doesn't concern FFP issues:
"Look. I don't understand what the problem of the non-refinancing is: There is a fund [Elliott] that literally guarantees the continuation of the project, and there would be a contract [settlement agreement] where the club will try to respect. Even in case the property changed because it couldn't refinance the debts the new property would have to respect that contract [settlement agreement]. If it doesn't, then one can come and punish the club with the sanctions forseen for such cases. It makes absolutely no sense to punish a club now for something that may or may not happen in the future.
That's not what FFP has been created for.
All that said it's commonly known that both UEFA and FIFA appereantly think to live out of their own rules and that they can make up whatever they want whenever they want. It's obviously a political decision.
PSG for example is said by some experts to have far worse balance sheets than we have. But what their owner does is pumping money into their accounts and to camouflage those earnings as incomings from sponsorship deals. That's huge. That's fucking huge to be perfectly honest. But UEFA seems to be more busy punishing us for reasons we only can speculate about.
That's why I'm saying it's so wrong on so many levels what UEFA is doing right now and I don't understand why even some Milan fans are leaning more towards UEFAs reasoning than to that of our management.
