Re: City & FFP (continued)

I have to confess I was surprised and disappointed when we failed FFP as I thought we'd been blind-sided by UEFA's treachery. However I now think that the Sheikh and his team have played a blinder and have kippered UEFA completely.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Did that blogger who got absolutely lambasted on here for saying we would fail FFP come back to blow rasberries?

I think I would if I were him, but I'm a bit like that ;-)

Re: City & FFP (continued)

They bunkered down, they plotted and manipulated. They were oblivious, arrogant and ignorant.

They didn't see it coming, they took tea, they broke bread, they tried to starve us out.

They patted themselves on the back, they slept snug in their beds at night.

They will wake very soon to a new dawn.

They will shit themselves.

Not to sure they don't know what's coming mate. The spending of Arse, Rags and Liverpool, Chavs have always invested heavily tells me they know exactly what's about to hit them.

We have been playing at it so far :-!

They don't know the half of it.

It wouldn't be good sport for City to spoil the 'money shot'.

timeframe mate?

Well I was three when he died but he was a Big blue by all accounts, had the shoes an all.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Cartels (in this case in the form of a 'Barrier to Entry') are constructed because of fear that others may enter their sector and share their carefully protected golden goose.

I immediately thought of Joe Mercer when our Chairman used 'Pinch' to describe the disgusting skewing of FFP.
Joe's philosophy to his players was ''Have a long memory not a short temper''.

It would seem that ADUG have the commercial acumen to overcome what UEFA used as a tripwire.
So certainly in UEFA's shoes I would be more fearful of Mr K.'s 'long game' than matching my ability to try again with rule changes to fight an ADUG team who have outsmarted them commercially with 'one hand behind their backs'.

The original plot failed because they assumed their way to run a football club was the only way, which ADUG have disproved.
Maybe they will try again but having been beaten at their own game using their own changeable rules with their own referee should be enough warning for any of our rivals and their compliant UEFA trade organisation.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

aren't we in danger of becoming a bit Arsenal like here by celebrating a good set of financial accounts?
