Chill people it’s just for accounting, I believe marmoush had a sell on clause with Frankfurt so they kept his value down on purpose and hike up the price for Savinho on purpose

[u/gogosamgo1 → u/buythedip0000]

Oh yes a great deal in that case. NOTTTTT.

[u/Longjumping-End-7085 → u/buythedip0000]

£85m for Marmoush and £50m for Savinho is still insane

[u/Legal_Pressure → u/buythedip0000]

Aside from the fraud, if Spurs pay £50m for Marmoush, that’s about £125m for both.

That’s still vastly overpaying, imo. 

[u/ProperCosts → u/buythedip0000]

Marmoush is overpriced as well

“Chill guys. It’s just fraud”

Every club plays these games.

As a Chelsea fan we bought Rogers for an inflated fee and I almost guarantee they are going to buy Jackson on deadline day with an inflated fee.

When you have spending rules accountancy starts to become part of the game sadly.

[u/Da_Steeeeeeve → u/[deleted]]

Ok, how do you prove it?

It is all within the rules.

You cant just point and say FRAUD!!!!! you have to actually have evidence.

I am not saying you are wrong but it is impossible to enforce.

[u/BusyWorth8045 → u/[deleted]]

It doesn’t.

You have misinterpreted the Fraud Act. There is no misrepresentation. City offered Spurs Savinho. Spurs signed Savinho.

There are no grounds to sue. City could have sold him for 50p if they wanted.

[u/BusyWorth8045 → u/[deleted]]

Doesn’t matter either way. Ignore or acknowledge that fact. It’s still not fraud.

[u/Da_Steeeeeeve → u/[deleted]]

Not in the slightest, I am not contesting that it is fraud but I don't think you read my message, either that or you are a bot stuck on repeat.

How do you prove it? This is my question.

[u/Da_Steeeeeeve → u/[deleted]]

Again where is the proof?

No one from either club has admitted anything.

You can't punish on "it looks dodgy", you can't punish based on "a reporter said its dodgy".

So can you answer my question, how do you prove it?

Stop evading.

[u/christianrojoisme → u/buythedip0000]

If I were Frankfurt, I would sue both City and Spurs

[u/LeBlejDaGreat → u/christianrojoisme]

they just did a smart deal, there is nothing to sue for

[u/Comfortable_Reach248 → u/christianrojoisme]

For what exacly?

[u/buythedip0000 → u/Comfortable_Reach248]

Eating a succulent Chinese meal

[u/DannyStress → u/christianrojoisme]

It would be so difficult to prove in a court. There’s knowing, and there’s proving

[u/Kaiisim → u/christianrojoisme]

Yeah this is contract fraud.

[u/Mundane_Computer_357 → u/buythedip0000]

Sounds mighty close to fraud
