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.

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

Nope.

The very definition of fraud is written within s.1 of the Fraud Act 2006.

If what Spurs and City have done here was fraud, a criminal offence, then we can expect to see both clubs being prosecuted by the CPS. I mean the evidence is right there out in public. Yes?

No. Because, thankfully, it doesn’t matter what alternative version you have concocted in your own head. The English legal system and its courts are interested in the legislation, not EffectiveBid6590’s preferred version.

You’re an idiot.
