Re: City & FFP (continued)

I appreciate it's World Cup related, but 2 of our allies :-) at UEFA and the G14 get about a bit. ;-)

According to the emails, some of which have been seen by the BBC, Bin Hammam:

*Visited Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin to discuss "bilateral relations" between Russia and Qatar a month before the votes for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

*Brokered government level talks for Thailand's Fifa executive Worawi Makudi to push a deal on importing gas from Qatar to Thailand. Makudi told the paper he did not receive a concession for his part in any gas deal.

*Invited Germany's former Fifa executive Franz Beckenbauer to Doha just five months after the vote with bosses from an oil and gas shipping firm which was employing him as a consultant. The firm involved says it was exploring possible Qatari investments in the shipping and maritime sector but that no deal ever came from the talks. When approached by the Sunday Times, former German international Beckenbauer declined to comment.

*Fixed meetings between nine Fifa executive committee members, including Blatter, with members of the Qatari royal family.

*Arranged a meeting between the Qatar bid team and Uefa boss Michel Platini at European football's headquarters in Nyon, near Geneva. Platini, who has openly admitted voting for Qatar, says Bin Hammam did not attend the meeting and insists he has nothing to hide.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Premier League clubs’ net losses (after player trading
and finance costs) for 2012/13 were £316m
(2011/12: £245m). Five clubs made pre-tax losses in
excess of £50m. This included Liverpool, the most
severe at £70m, as well as two other clubs, Chelsea
and Manchester City, who finished in the top four in
the Premier League in 2013/14.

This is the joke! We have to compete against this club in the Champs League with four less players, even though they made much larger losses!

Maybe, this is exactly what United will do now? Don't have to worry about FFP and can spend a mint next year without worry!

debt is good

It's fitting that you use this image as the man who gave them that is now wearing them!

Re: City & FFP (continued)

PSG have reacted brilliantly , twatini says you cant spend more than £49m next season , and they go and spend £50m on Luiz straight away , they are saying fuck you , and fuck your fine , lets go to court.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Utd could spend mentally and be FFP immune next year but for the fact they brought in to try and stop City the Premier League FFP.

They can only spend on wages an increase in line with their increased commercial and European money, now whilst they lose about 50m from Europe they have made this up elsewhere but are fairly limited on what they can increase wages by. Obviously they save rio, vidic, giggs etc and have some scope but they can't go completely mental

FFP is based on the 2 previous seasons (I think) so even though the rags aren't in it this season coming are they still not subject to it? That said they've got massive revenue streams and it shouldn't really affect them unfortunately. With the released and retired wages they also got a hell of a lot of wriggle room.
In answer to 'Kompany is King' regarding Real Madrid, they have the same massive (arf) revenue incoming plus of course they're bent as fuck.

Cheers, appreciate the response.

I guess this 'legality' is way down the list of UEFA priorities.

They obviously have to SELL SOMEONE NOW, because it is £49M NET.

That's as likely as England qualifying from the group stages of the World Cup finals.

....So it is a realistic possibility then but not, of course, certain?

They'd just make sure we would be in the same half of the draw to ensure that doesn't happen. Not that I'm saying they're bent or anything like that...
