Boooom

The main proponent of ffp has been sacked due to infringements of the 'ethics code', I wouldn't be surprised at city welcoming sanctions just so they can put the final nail in that coffin..... FFP is dead as a dodo. I also don't think the club will be best pleased in the millions forked out in fines..

We won't spend anywhere near what PB has alluded to, £200m max in my opinion, however, there will be a marquee signing (:
I found it difficult to get to PB s figure, on the other hand, I estimated £80 mill on centre backs, £20 mill Gundogon. only leaves 100 mill for probably another central midfielder a wide forward and any full backs / keeper. So I would expect any Marquee signing to take us over the £200 mill up towards the £250 mill - £300mill.

Wages, as alluded to, will be a huge factor, also we won't get all of our targets....'I see us bringing in around 70/80m, even at 250m, which will be the top end, that is an insane amount of money.... Having it and spending it are two different stories, not a prayer we go anywhere near those figures alluded to!!
 
Hows our players wages doing if we spend and sign the amount of players as you think regarding ffp and increase wages?
That's an good question as we have to comply with the PL's version of FFP which limits wage increases.

The main way of accommodating the newcomers is if there's as many going out as coming in. That's can be hit and miss depending on who we can actually shift but I'd guess that's where the bulk of the savings we need will come from.

So I'd assume Yaya's wage would be one of those we'd be most keen to shift, which alone could possibly cover three newcomers. And it's funny that from saying he can't wait to go, he's now saying the opposite. I suspect that's a negotiating ploy to get as advantageous an exit as possible. But one would assume that as we can only have a squad of a certain size, it'll be one in and one out. So if we get say Gundogan and Pogba, then it'll be Yaya & Fernando making way for them. A new left back would see Kolarov out. Stones/Laporte would replace Mangala. Etc.

Additional ticket revenue could cover someone like Pogba's wages but it hardens my suspicion that we've got some big commercial deals lined up
