Do we as City fans see any value in FFP? The way it is implemented was just a cynical exercise to maintain the existing cartel.It will be like Coutino all over again.
In the interest of FFP, just like Sponsorships are now evaluated players transfer fees should also be under the same scrutiny. We all know at 31 Salah is not worth 150m, no other countrie’s team could afford to pay anywhere that, it’s a false value at his age.
UEFA should state for example, the Dippers could get that money but for FFP purposes but the players value should be evaluated and counted as revenue at that price. What they do with the excess is up to the Dippers but they shouldn’t be allowed to subsidise their turnover with a false value.
What if Newcastle’s owners come for a player to transfer to the Saudi League, here you go, we’ll give you £150m for Anthony Gordon? So far it’s not happened, Newcastle’s owners are keeping their noses clean but the propensity to make FFP irrelevant is real.
Newcastle getting the newbie treatment we had, whereas UEFA want their champions in the knockout stages so we get a soft draw.We saw that yesterday when we were drawn against some Young Boys and Cravat Zelda.
Mate..he’s even better than Solanke…Is he better than Rhian Brewster?
£500m for Haaland? £200m for Kev?Crazy fee for him, don’t hear them moaning about Saudi money again, surely 150 million for his age and form distorts the market But as its in their favour it wont be mentioned.
If we got offered 150 million by a Saudi club, PL and UEFA be drafting brand new rules on FFP.
Dippers be mad to turn this down if another bud comes in
It's a seeded draw where you can't draw your home country, it's not some great conspiracy presented as random.Newcastle getting the newbie treatment we had, whereas UEFA want their champions in the knockout stages so we get a soft draw.
The draw is entirely random, of course.
£500m for Haaland? £200m for Kev?
Not quite. Seeded by pots system. So part random. If a draw comes up which is against the rules, they move the drawn team to the next section. But I’m not convinced hot balls are not used.It's a seeded draw where you can't draw your home country, it's not some great conspiracy presented as random.
* FSG must be buzzing.FSG must be gutted
They know they could get £200m for him, but they can’t replace him and it’s too late
I think Saudi are doing this like Madrid with mbappe last year
It’s for the headlines not the player
They could have done this a month ago, why today on deadline day
Especially when the Saudi deadline is 3 weeks away
Ceferin says it’s no problem, it’s like China. He’s hopelessly wrong.Joking apart the authorities need to do something, if they can. You can't allow a club with unlimited wealth to just sign all its leagues best players. They brought ffp in to stop ourselves doing this so they need to get their act together quickly.
Not sure ‘the authorities’ can do anything at all, to be honest. Not only that, if the players want to go, why shouldn’t they?Joking apart the authorities need to do something, if they can.

Sounds familiar, like the cartel when we started our rise.Joking apart the authorities need to do something, if they can.

I wouldn’t say he’s hopelessly wrong, but he is certainly substantially wrong. It’s definitely a much bigger threat than China.Ceferin says it’s no problem, it’s like China. He’s hopelessly wrong.
Turning down 150m for a 31 Yr old who's on 400k a week seems absurd. Diaz was injured for a lot of the season, Salah starts week in & is penalty taker.Despite some Liverpool fans thinking he's past it, Salah had 46 goals + assists last season.
Jota, Gapko and Diaz had 33 between them.
I'd say he's pretty important, and not easily replaceable.
Nah. Fuck all to do with the FA and UEFA and fuck all they can do about it. It's always been a free market, that's not going to go changing now just because the UEFA clubs aren't the richest anymore. FIFA won't do anything as they know this.Joking apart the authorities need to do something, if they can. You can't allow a club with unlimited wealth to just sign all its leagues best players.
