Re: City & FFP (continued)
I do not believe the assumption 'All restrictions will be lifted' is correct.
We will still be subject to a spending limit that's proportional to revenue. We can't just go out and blow a whole load of money without any consideration of the limits.
Upgrading City is not going to be easy. The sort of players we'll need to be a European force will be tricky to entice to City, and will come at a price. We're going to have to be very careful we spend wisely. I'm all for spending 50m on a player if he's the right player in the right position. I'm dead against blowing 2 * 25m on 'good' (not great) players who we hope will improve us a little.

Thought it was quite slick myself but then I have refined tastes...

It's just been completely refurbished by the owners with the blessing of the Union of European Petroleum Associations (UEPA), so that it's invested a fortune in new pumps, a new shop and payment facilities so that it's far easier to use than any of it's rivals, there's no queuing and the petrol is 5p per litre cheaper. Trouble is it's had to close down because it hasn't got any petrol - UEPA won't let it spend more than last year's turnover on petrol or it's fined 60 million euros and banned forever from selling petrol if it does it again - and it's up to its spending limit now because it's so popular and has spent so much on petrol.

Re: City & FFP (continued)
By All restrictions I mean those particular restrictions imposed on us for this season by Ueafa for failing FFP. After that of course we still need to break even each year not to break FFP again, and yes will need to be much better at buying players at the right price to make the team better , whether that be 1 significant signing each season or 1 or 2 more squad players to add quality cover for injuries\suspensions\loos of form etc.

So in terms of FFP, is our tank half full or half empty?

Re: City & FFP (continued)
I don't know but we're getting 21 litres to the gallon instead of 25, performance isn't what it should be. You could say it's Alf empty.superwatsonwatson said:So in terms of FFP, is our tank half full or half empty?
