On the contrary we could easily blow 100m without much thought as long as our cash flow allowsChippy_boy said:kupest said:Italian Manc said:City restrictions to be lifted
Manchester City will see their spending restrictions lifted by UEFA bosses after turning a transfer profit this summer.
The Citizens, who spent their entire cap of £49.9m bringing in the likes of Fernando, Eliaquim Mangala and Willy Caballero, were still able to balance their books in style.
Valencia agreed to pay the Premier League champions a £2m loan fee for striker Alvaro Negredo on deadline day, with a cast-iron guarantee of a further £23m to complete the purchase.
City will also pick up around £4.8m in total for a similar arrangement they struck with Fiorentina for defender Micah Richards. They were also able to sell young Welsh midfielder Emyr Hughes to Wigan for £3.5m.
It means City, who had previously sold Jack Rodwell, Gareth Barry and Javi Garcia for a combined £25m, will actually show a player trading profit of £9m.
UEFA chiefs slapped a two-year spending cap on the Manchester outfit for breaching their Financial Fair Play rules but with the promise the second year would be lifted if they toed the line.

Yup, I don't expect the sanctions to be on us for the second year since we are complying with everything. We should be fine next summer.
Fine in that we won't have these extra restrictions, but we will still be restricted by FFP normal requirements. It's not like we can just blow £100m and not worry about it.
That's not really something you can put a figure on but with revenues apparently around the £400m mark and reduced player costs, plus some extra leeway from this window, how does 'whatever the fuck we want' sound?SuperMario's Fireworks. said:Does anyone have an idea on how much we'll be able to spend next summer?

It was too late by the time they acted, as this summer has shown, their sanctions have been pretty toothless really, and I've particularly liked how we've dealt with wages, I suspect we are now in a very healthy position, whilst other clubs have gone at it stupidly.oakiecokie said:This was always in the plans of HH right from the onset,that eventually we would have to become self sufficient.
UEFA wont knows whats hit them over the next few years,with constant monies coming in from every direction to boost our coffers.
Wonder if they`ve already been discussing what sort of additional sanctions they can impose on us ?
Aint life just grand nowadays being a Blue.

I'm more than happy, perhaps a little disappointed that we are left without a 4th striker at the death of the window, but I'm still of the opinion, that we still have great attacking options, even if they are not all strikers.
IanBishopsHaircut said:Well looks like FFP hit us for one season, Our revenue will keep growing and we will need to spend less...No wonder our owners are toeing the line, FFP will work in our favour from now on and stop other clubs from being competition. We got in just in time by the look of it.

FFP could also be gone next year if the ruling does what it ought to and kick it unceremoniously into touch
These are indeed good times

We've built a very good squad, which if we plan well, will be self sustaining from now on, there should be no need for the sort of spending we had to make to get us to this point. I'm not saying we won't spend big now and then, or have a large net spend, but it will be carefully done, and our revenue will cover it.
