This thread has taken a somewhat strange turn. FFP is not a problem for us anymore so can I close it?

Any thread with an ampersand in its title should be closed as a matter of course.

That's a softening of your usual position, where any thread with a title that isn't a Latin or Greek iambic pentameter should be closed.

It's Christmas. A time for compromise.

Can I just throw in my comment that IF this Qatar takeover of Spurs happens and IF - as seems increasing likely - the FFP rules are changed so that they are less stringent (with the monitoring period widened to 10 years for example) then I will be right royally PISSED OFF.

It would be ****ing typical that we have been hit hard by FFP and then another club comes along and waltzes right through.

Unless of course ADUG takeover a German Team and start an assault on Bayern Munich using profits at City to offset initial losses in Germany via its CFG Holding Company ?
A certain German member of UEFA would be a little concerned I feel.

I'd be pretty fucked off about that as well. City profits being spent on a German club? So they can spend whilst we have to pull our reigns in? And that's a good idea? No fucking thank you.

Is that even allowed?

Fuck me, I have enough trouble following the intricacies of the ever changing FFP discussion let alone having to deal with whatever a 'lambic pentameter' may be. I should definitely have paid more attention at school!

You seriously think that there are no 'little surprises" left for us?

The triumph of hope over experience.

Maybe it's just the triumph of experience.

How can it not be a problem when we're still under sanction from it?

Good point but those sanctions should be lifted after this season and I don't think we'll be troubled again, even at current levels of revenue. After that, the increased revenue from the CL and the expanded stadium should mean FFP is but a distant memory. When we turn in our first £100m+ profit in a few years we'll laugh about the 2014 sanctions.
