City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

Why cant football be just like any other industry, and if the owner of a company wants to invest in it he/she can. And if it goes bust it goes bust.

After all ffp hasnt stopped clubs from going bust has it.

Nail. Head. Hit.

A few years ago I sadly came into my inheritance. As my employment was coming up for review it felt the right time to break out and do my own thing.

Set up a trophy business, bought stock, an engraving machine, rented a small shop. All paid for out of my own pocket. I was investing in my new business.

It was also 3 months before I took a wage.

Not saying it made me a millionaire but it was a solid little business.

Not a great comparison but how is that any different to the City is being run?

If the logic re FFP, investment would have applied to my business I would never been able to start it.

I’d hazard a guess if it is a possibility,could it be signing some of these young players from South America and knowing the complexities involved we may have broke transfer rules somewhere or maybe tapping up a player..

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

when & what did he say??? Don’t read anything that tosser writes

When he asked Pep the question about whether he'd received under the counter payments straight after we won the treble.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

What are the Liverpool Echo saying about it?

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but could this be the reason why Pep was extra tetchy around the Saints game?

So thread bumped by 10 pages, with absolutely no substance, not even from twitter, buzz me when there's some news.

I know, complete paranoid nonsense. It's the football forums version of Chicken Licken and the Sky Falling Down.

Somewhere out there, there's a journo, sighing and pulling his pants up in disappointment, calling him a cock tease.

We should really do fake news more often, since they read BM. Just to fuck with them and see what they'll publish.

Maybe someone saw Dan Roan at the national cycling centre and assumed it was related to City.

 

[Stoned Rose]

This could be utter bollocks or could be an issue totally unrelated to any FFP shite but didn’t know where best to post it. A mate just got this off someone he knows well. Can’t see anything about it online in the media and surely one of the ITKs on here would’ve heard something?

“City are under investigation by the premier league. Two very good sources have both confirmed it. Over money. Ffs”

Rita and Mavis from The Kabin?

 

[ysmsa]

Since we don't even know if there is anything how would anyone know?

There are no doubt lots of accounts not released yet, we don't have to release them by the way as we're

There are similarities, you and the Sheikh have set up "trophy businesses" through sound management and hard work

Is that similar to signing someone with fake parents, having fee under reported then hailed as the second coming after 1 goal?

 

[riggymcfc123]

Fucking bunch of nattering old women over a garden wall... give your heads a wobble! Call yourself blues?!?!

 

[davewatsonstackle]

These “rumours” You would of thought that City are running away with the league and favourites to do the quadruple! Ffs...oh hang on ??

As Meghan might say,... It's THEIR truth.

They are going to boil piss when she models the new home shirt.

Well done, it's tough to break out on your own. You are totally correct but too many fingers are dabbling in the football pie. Football is "a Special Case", those feeding off what was a sport don't benefit from applying standard business practices or indeed standard sporting ethics. The haves want to stifle the hopeful.

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

My mate has just heard from two credible sources that some bellend is spouting shite again on bluemoon.

 

[cleavers]

Maybe someone saw Dan Roan at the national cycling centre and assumed it was related to City.

I'm surprised we didn't get dragged in, or at least the stadium filmed.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Mods can we delete this stupid my mate said this page FFS
This is utter nonsense and its just bullshit

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Rita and Mavis from The Kabin?

Norris Cole probably eavesdropping again.
