Has Wenger approved this?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

What will happen is the reporter will ask the question to every premier manager about the deal and that's when the sly digs especially from Wengar who will question the deal

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Here's the key part:

An improved sponsorship deal with Etihad could help the club avoid making excessive losses in the future, although some may argue that City's record-breaking sponsorship is unjustly reliant on the close relationship between the two; Etihad's owner Sheikh Khalifa is half-brother of Sheikh Mansour.

However in May, Uefa ruled that the Etihad sponsorship was not "related party transaction" and was therefore permitted.

Fill yer boots City. I'd even go so far as to speculate as to whether City deliberately set out to fail FFP in order to distract UEFA's attention, although that would be incredibly Machiavellian.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

It's just a re-hash of the story in The Sunday Mirror yesterday so nothing new. The figures being bandied about in the article seem plausible enough though and the scope for increasing the initial deals in a few years time will be huge. Obviously, our continued growth as a club will be reliant on what happens on the pitch and remaining competitive at the top end of the league.

We took our "pinch". Now the other shoe is about to drop and the echoes of it will be heard throughout the footballing world. Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it Platini.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

I hope City have a training kit sponsor on the horizon as well (as we don't have currently)?, could bring significant amount of money that as well.
