how much can we spend during the summer to stay inline with the financial regs i know we could raise a few bob by selling but without selling what can we spend
In theory fook all because our wage bill is so huge - however from what i understand the initial implmentation of FFFP means that clubs will not be hammered if they dont meet the guidlines BUT they must show a positive trend - so as a minimum City must show that we are reducing our losses which we should be able to do - by how much i dont know.
The big issue is that it depends how arsey Fifa are going to be over our sponsorship deal and i think what will dictate this is how much shit that other clubs formerly the G14 kick up - what makes me nervous is i can until the Ethiad Campus is up and running in these times of austerity how many commercial companies would provide such a significant sponsorship for something that dont exist - anyway thats another argument.
Suspect that we will spend whatever we sell so circa 80 Million maybe more think there will also be alot more than we expect, AJ, DJ or Barry, Dzeko, Tevez, Ballo, Kolorov, K Toure and maybe Ballo - the real problem is for City to get these players sold instead of cheap loans and they we have Ade, Crocky, Weiss, Bridge etc on top of this.
Next season will be harder than this season - Mancini and the team blew it big time this season and it aint going to get any easier next and the further we get in to FFFP the harder is become as middle ranking teams ehom dont have any real expectations of qualifying for the CL dont have to worry about the FFP maintain their strength whislt CL teams without large stadia get weaker - Chelsea and Spurs and unless City get a bigger stadia or start producing out own players then the future will be dominated by Le Arse and Rags its that simple which is exactly what FIFA want to happen
