City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

Please quantify 'significantly limit'.

I would presume they will take our transfer spending for the last few seasons into account, which according to 'Transfer market' averages out at just over £65M per season for the last 5 seasons. If we've agreed to 'significantly limit' that amount, then I can't see us having more than the £50M cap they hit us with this season. I suppose it sounds better than a 3 year £50M cap on transfers.

As i've just said on another reply the lack of a figure makes it a nonsense TBH

In your opinion, certainly not mine, and I doubt whether they would include it in the punishment if they had no intention of adhering to it.
I would suggest they've left it deliberately ambiguous to see what sort of reaction they get from Bayern/rags/Arsenal and their ilk. If we spend big and they complain, they will fuck us again.
I get the feeling we are pinning all our hopes on the court ruling.

I'd just assume it means limit to what's affordable within FFP limits, and not overspend an fall outside those limits.

Soooooooooooooooooo if City happen to make a profit of £150m all is good ;-)

Mess I and Pogba :-)

If City comply with the restrictions, they will be lifted at the end of the 2015-16 season. The club said they would have complied with the restrictions anyway during the "natural course of the club's planned business operations".

"The nature of conditions that will result in the lifting of sanctions means that the Club expects to be operating without sanction or restriction at the commencement of the 2015-16 season."

I think we can spend big this summer. I believe the clause/condition was that if we pass this year then the restrictions would be lifted for 15/16. UEFA worded it as both seasons (as it would be if we didn't comply) just to make it sound harsher to the rival clubs and media. They did similar with the CL squad home grown quota, where it later turned out we could lower the % of home grown in line with the squad reduction sanction.

What's the panic?

If FFP remains we have the 6th biggest turnover in World Football with very little chance of us ever dropping lower. The teams above us can't and wont buy everyone and teams like Atletico do better on much less.

If FFP gets thrown out and I believe it will, we can do what we like.

Either way it's nowt to worry about.

Been saying from day one that this ffp is a hilarious farce. Makes little sense that reigns can be put on billion pound industry by multi millionaires. It sorta goes against everything I thought about capitalism and the business world.

Now that I've realised how real it is and the pain it's caused us, I feel daft as fuck.

Come on dupont and psg. Prove my convictions right

Inter to be fined 6-7m (euros) according to reports in Italy. Again, the fact these rules are supposed to 'protect clubs' yet can fine them millions doesn't add up. Probably because there is no real attempt to protect anyone except the few clubs these rules truly benefit. If Dupont fails hopefully others will keep trying, there has to be a way to get such a corrupt ruleset overthrown.

and they think they can afford Yaya...

absolute no chance with FFP, Mancini has a job getting Inter winning a Scudetto in the next few years with such rulings.

Like Milan, Inter were one of the driving forces for 'Fair' Play weren't they?

Then it's a big haw haw haw!

you wouldn't use this seasons figures in that 5 year period though, it would be the 5 years before we were 'punished'. That would put the average nearer to £80 million (roughly).

Not that I think that's how City translate UEFA's usual wooly statements.
