It happens all the time... as much as we all want City to be 100% cleared and not face any punishment the reality of the situation is more "grey" - whilst the charges hang over us it can affect all sorts of stuff like sponsorships or getting new players in... It's in our interest to end things...

Now I see what your getting at... I totally support the lower teams getting more money but I'm not sure it's the responsability of the top 6 to fund the lower teams... If you look at it from the likes of Burnley etc then yeah it's a mint idea but look at it from our owners point of view -...

Agree with most of what you said but I don't see anything in these proposals that would mean lower placed teams could buy better players? The lower teams won't have more money and the top teams can't spend the money they have = worse league...?

Yeah that ain't going to happen - if the PL truely want to stop clubs from self destructing financially then that's the 1 rule that has to stay. It's no good saying to the bottom clubs they can spend 5x times the TV revenue of basically their own TV revenue without some safety net. The constant...

Except it won't be the same for everyone because if Burnley don't get bought out then they can't spend the same as us... and why should they? It sounds harsh but in a free market economy you don't drive investment and improve businesses (which is what clubs are these days) by limiting what they...

As much as the idea may or may not about levelling the playing field the whole concept of anchoring is just dumb... If a team wins loads of stuff and get's loads of prize money then what can they spend it on if not their squad? A Corgi Trouser Press? I'm sorry but the best players want to play...

Do they? Sorry didn't know that - I thought it was done on number of times on TV or something... every day is a school day :)

Can someone clarify what the PL mean by "bottom of the league club" when it comes to working out what everyone can spend? Do they mean the team that finishes the league at the bottom sets the cap for next season or do they mean the bottom team when you put clubs in order of TV revenue? Because...

MCFC... Ruining counting since 2008 ;)

Comparing Haaland to Ken Dodd is probably the funniest and most bizarre thing I'll read today - well done ! lol

So your out then?

He started his reply 20 minutes ago - so hopefully only another hour or 2 before he strings a coherent sentence together...

I doubt it but it's possible... when you sell debt on you dont usually get anything like the value of the original debt but yeah - certainly possible

IF Barca agreed to pay us x million per year for the fee and IF they have missed payment(s) then we could technically go down the legal route (and call in the "can't pay... we'll take it away" squad) but the optics of that would be really bad - I can't remember any club in recent memory doing...

Why not? It's all just shit's 'n giggles (until someone giggles 'n shits)

What we really need is for someone in Abu Dhabi to setup a company called "F*ck FFP (ltd)" and be our shirt sponser...

It is - but to be fair we've not seen anything other than daft in Football transfer fee's for a loooong time My take on Rice is that we see Arsenal as a genuine threat so either: a) We really rate him and want him - in which case we are willing to get into a bidding war b) We are just pushing...

No...No...No...No... But... free transfer, for 1 year then off to NYC...? just for the shits 'n giggles i'm in :)

Those players you've mentioned have at least some of the following qualities: English International experience CL experience PL experience Playing at a good level in another country Cucurella has 1 season in the prem...

And someone has been a bit premature...a bit like a virgin in the same strip bar ;)
