Cibaman is correct there.BoyBlue_1985 said:Ashton got about 6 million off of west ham which im sure they would claim back off insurance. No way a club would spend £20 million on a player without some kind of insurance policy in place im sure the premiums are high but the risk money wise is hugecibaman said:SilverFox2 said:Whilst FFP does not now seem to be a problem for City, I was wondering about the effect of player insurance on FFP if an event causes its payment.
In particular, the injury to Negrada will presumably have been covered by a key man type insurance policy which effectively means the premium paid will trigger a proportion if not all of his cost to City.
Presumably, the payment to him will be deducted from the cost side of the FFP equation ?
Do clubs insure players other than for career ending injuries? Given the number of injuries that routinely occur every year, wouldn't the premiums be prohibitive? Insurance is usually a waste of money if its for incidents that occur on a regular basis.

Or, regardless of FFP, PSG just weren't willing to pay Di Maria £300,000 a week. I'd imagine Ibra wouldn't have been best pleased.Left black 8 said:City Raider said:Duncan Castles saying PSG had agreed fee with Madrid but couldn't agree salary for Di Maria in line with FFPR - who benefits?

But lots of people on Bluemoon said PSG are laughing at FFP and sticking the middle finger etc.:)
Maybe not at all as it seems...

Would they not drop into the Europa League anyway?LoveCity said:We (and Chelsea and Liverpool) get an extra £3m or so if Arsenal lose tomorrow according to a financial chap on Twitter. I wonder what is better - that or Arsenal with the extra responsibility of Champions League, making it harder to rival us for the title.
