City and FFP article

[BlueNirvana]

this guy is thick

if you look at part 2 of his report in the wages bit he has players in and player out
so lets just take sergio as an e.g.

wages per week £200,000=wages per year £2.400.000

can you see what he did there LOL

The slimy fat French bastard hates us he won't give up.

I haven't bothered reading the blog, doesn't seem much point I know what will be in it anyway.

"The slimy fat French bastard" will give up once the sponsors of the CL tell him that not having the English Champions in his flagship money maker, means they won't pay up the full amount as it devalues the competition. He'll have to because that will reduce the income of the rest of the european "super" clubs, something none of them can afford.

Not having the english champions in the CL would be a disaster for UEFA, so I expect lots of moaning and groaning, and a reluctant, "it'll not be allowed to happen again (well apart from PSG obviously)".

Sponsors want the most popular teams in the finals nothing more than that - a Barca v Real or Rags or Bayern is what they want.

I suspect that if Real or Barca or Rags were to be excluded then that would be more of an issue than if city were currently.

Well after the way we won the league and the publicity it has/will bring, I'm pretty confident that we will soon be one of the most pupular. Sponsors couldn't care less who is in the final so long as it brings the biggest possible audience, and since 650 million allegedly watched our league game 3 weeks ago, I suspect that a City v united final would bring a bigger audience still.

What else he doesn't and can't include for obvious reasosns is any future sponsorship deals.

None of us have any idea what Mansour, Khaldoon, and City have in the pipeline.

I am sure there is a bit in it that says if moving in the right direction you are ok. If we go from 190m losses to %0m you are definietly making progress

I find, as many other posters find, this article to be very strange. I don't know who the author is or whether he's in a position to know much about the situation at City or,indeed, FFP either. There seem to be a lot of ways of reducing expenditure and increasing revenue which he doesn't deal with, and his assumptions of x% increase in this, y% reduction in that seem arbitrary and whimsical. He appears to be one of the "you can't pass it under any circumstances" brigade. I trust the Sheikh and his advisers more than any pundit.

What you have to remember is that many of the players signed at the start of the Abu Dhabi takeover (2008-2009) and who were given lucrative 5 year deals will see their contracts expire at the end of the 2012-13 season. So for example we will be saving the following (approx):
Adebayor £175,000 p/w
Bridge £90,000 p/w
K Toure £90,000 p/w
Santa Cruz £75,000 p/w

Thats a total of £430,000 p/w off the wage bill. Annual saving of over £22 million.

If they were signed before the 1st July 2010 then those wages don't count for FFP even while they're still on our books (well provided we show a 'positive trend' we can discount them anyway)

Didn't they say we couldn't win the league? Why we take notice of these fucker's is beyond me.

Wow this guy has been on the radio and in the press and he's taken the time to make several wrong comments on my figures which I did just for my own interest. Must be pretty keen on doing down City.

Any support welcome.
