So where does the EU's MAR come into it? Does it allow/have any secondary enforcement capabilities?
It really can't be seen as contravening Market Abuse Regs as it really doesn't in my opinion come into 'fixing' from a general marketplace, if the practice is widespread and other clubs/across the EU were involved it would probably still not as so few clubs are publically owned.
It might be an issue for Consub (the Italian financial regulator); but they're only react if it proves that a false market was made in Juve shares is my guess. The footballing authorities will deal with the outcome of the investigations first and then the courts - that's if it goes that far, which I still doubt.
