Really don't see how they can get us for anything looks like we've played by the rules. Sold players, offloaded some players on silly wages, not gone crazy on transfers like PSG.
If they keep doing this shit every year maybe we should just take the gloves off and start throwing our financial weight around and start buying anyone we fancy for silly money.

If you thought Barca was angry when neymar left, imagine what they will be like when we offer messi a nice package next year when he's available for free. Wont happen, but it would be funny as fuck.

Why does anyone care, least of all UEFA?! FFP hasn't done a damned thing to help football. Nothing!
These clubs are companies, and FFP is essentially telling clubs how to run their business. Our club runs its business just fine! No debt, constant reinvestment of profits into stadia and community, yet weare always in the crosshairs?! Nonsensical!
Let's start history when the elites want it to start and everything is still the same...City's owners have invested in a club that has grown by leaps and bounds, grown revenues and profits from a sickly, underperforming organization that had a series of poor owners who were putting lipstick in the pig, followed by a crook who almost killed the club completely!
If anything, UEFA (and FIFA for that matter!) should be giving Sheikh Mansour a fucking big, gaudy, shiny award for showing exactly how club ownership should be done! CFG has created a new model for the modern club and global investment in football is supposed to be FIFA's aim, even though most of those funds seem to find their way into WC voter bank accounts!
I'm sure Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon are laughing over a sumptuous dinner while plotting their next move in the global soccer chess game they are playing. Meanwhile, "top" clubs in most other countries are squealing for loan deals and selling their best players to make up for their half full stadiums and perennial underperformance in the largest contest in football!
Bring on FFP! And, then watch Mansour stuff a big fat new sponsorship deal up UEFA's arse! We are honoring deals, not running from underpriced contracts, and are readying for the next step up in revenues if Pep can help City step up into the top tier of clubs in Europe and across the globe. To do that, we need to win domestic silverware, preferably the League, which puts us in Pot 1 and helps in the CL...which we also have to do well in.
What surprises me is that we were one deflected goal and a crossbar away from playing in the CL Final just a few years ago, yet everyone still thinks we have dramatically underperformed. I don't! Like Pep, I think we don't have a team with CL "DNA." Until at least 2/3 of the team in the field every game has CL experience, and understands how that competition "works" then we may underachieve. However, this should be where Pep's experience proves invaluable...and it didn't at all last season! Losing by 2 goals in Monaco was his greatest failure to date. He HAS TO improve this and establish City as one of Europe's Top 10 Teams, not only for the good of the club and CFG, but also so that our revenues make any FFP investigations look as silly as they actually are.

Would have been top of the league if the Sanchez and JFE deals went through ;-)
