And youth/academy … ie the lifeblood of many clubsThis is a nonsensical rule. If you spend money on stadium improvements, safety etc you are effectively penalised!!!?
You don’t have to ‘do’ Twitter to read it. Just click the links and readCalling @Prestwich_Blue. We need a friendly simple run down of these new rules so idiots like myself can understand them. Together with PL new rules, it will be a nightmare. So simple for our enemies to tie us in knots with fake complaints.
I don’t do twitter, so following Swiss Ramble is a bit harder.
Apparently so, as long as payables (eg loan repayments) don't become overdue. I struggle to understand the legitimacy of that model within a scheme to allegedly promote sustainability.Is it still OK to be 600 million in debt
I realise that, but it means I rely on someone else to post them in the first place.You don’t have to ‘do’ Twitter to read it. Just click the links and read

The authorities will rely on comparisons between clubs, which neatly ignores a sponsor‘s reason for choosing a particular club. For example, if I am launching a new venture aimed at young people in Nigeria, I may favour Arsenal for their tv exposure there and that might be worth a premium.As I see it we've played damn near every game it is possible for a PL team to play in the last 5yrs or so... getting to finals/semi finals... therefore we have been featured on TV and in the media more than nearly every team in the PL, which means our sponsors have certainly had 'bang for their buck'!
Add to that, the negative posts on social media actually work for us too – the bitter opposition fans whinging about us means that City are featured massively on social media - every time one of these numpties post a picture of a blue, that's more exposure for Etihad for example.
'Fair Value' will be very hard to enforce (unless it's stupidly over-the-top) and I can see legal challenges coming from it.
Suprised at the infrastructure element. United and Barca spring to mind who have stadiums falling to pieces and need massive amounts spent on them. How can any club effectively build new stands / stadiums if that cost counts towards FFP? No suprise this comes just as Madrid are finishing off their billion pound upgrade of their stadium.
