2021-2022 Annual report - City post club record profits and revenues

You know we might all laugh about this but I actually feel for all FFP's drawbacks, it perhaps encouraged us to move towards sustainability quicker than originally intended. As a club, we should actually be held up as a FFP success story.
100% agree on this. FFP has been the making of Manchester City and has actually been the driving force behind our success. FFP effectively made us invest in the academy which is now spinning off cash like a washing machine. It made us go forward with the CFG business model. It has made us aggressively drive our sponsorship revenues and it has made us be extremely effective regarding our transfer strategy with player acquisitions and sales.
The club should now start to push this narrative wherever possible. Basically praising and thanking the FFP rules which have taken us to where we are now in a relatively short space of time. When Platini and his mates changed the FFP rules from debt to revenue due to pressure from the cartel clubs they had no idea what they were doing. Talk about be careful for what you wish for? :-)
 
Just seen a Tweet from Steffan regarding the PL investigation:-

"The Club acknowledge an ongoing Premier League investigation linked to the speculation resulting from the illegal hacking and out of context publication of Club emails"

Page 48 of the report.
Sounds like a fair old dig at the PL there! My take on that is that the club must be very confident that nothing will come of it and it's just a re-hash of the UEFA investigation that ultimately ended in failure
 
That's all very well but as I keep getting told we've given Alfie £50M in a back hander....hope UEFA don't find out ;)

I'm guessing that they have to legally declare this as it's now public knowledge?
