Platini tells us that FFP is designed to drive down inflation in the transfer and salary markets ( amongst other things) , then uefa sell the tv rights to the CL for an extraordinarily inflated fee , which is then distributed to already hugely wealthy participants in that competition, who then spend hugely inflated sums on "galacticos" and pay them £300,000+ a week thus causing huge inflation in the transfer and salary markets, widening the gap between themselves and the rest of the clubs, but uefa and the "elite" clubs don't mind because it means that will go on qualifying for the CL and picking up the huge sums ,and buying "galacticos" at hugely inflated inflated fees and salaries .........seems fair don't it?
I have no doubt this is true and underlines why last night isn't really all that important in the wider scheme of things at Manchester City.tolmie's hairdoo said:We will blow it all out of the water in the next few weeks.

Never in doubt. They can run but they can't hide. Peek-a-boo.

They're going to defend their policy on selling the tv rights against the complaint from Virgin, claiming that more TV games will deter people going to games and will affect the attendances thus reducing match day revenues , which they tell us is absolutely vital to the revenues of most clubs.
Then they support a system (FFP) which by its very nature will cause ticket prices to rise because revenues need to be maximised , thereby deterring people from going to games!!

Throughout the last six years our owners, against the expectations of many within football, have delivered the goods again and again.
Partly through guile and also by stealth, they've come up with various ways to overcome the obstacles the club has had placed before it.
Throughout this time they've not uttered anything against the walls that have been systematically placed in their way, knowing you've got to choose your battles. They understand at a game of cards, you've sometimes got to let the other guy think he's winning.
This club is only going one way.
