I just wonder how far we are along the original Sheik M. / ADUG Business Plan for City ?

By that I mean that the timeline had to be accelerated to ensure that UEFA's original rules for FFP were conformed with.
We know the FFP rules were skewed to trap PSG and City but are we still further along the timeline of expected investment results compared to how our owner envisaged ?

 

[SWP's back]

As far as I understood it we had to significantly limit our transfer spend both last summer and this coming summer.... or something like that. So have we mwt the relevant targets to have restrictions removed or are we still restricted this summer too?

Hi massive Dave. *waves*

The former. As you'll see.

Good luck getting forth. Will me massive for Utd to get back in the CL.

Hi City's greatest fan. *waves back*

So we are restricted again this summer?

We? United weren't last summer.

City won't be this summer.

I cannot imagine that we are anything other than behind schedule.

The media hype in the early years about us winning the league at first attempt and likewise the Champions League, was surely ridiculous and never in the plans. But I can't imagine that we had envisaged doing better in the CL by now than we have done.

The results in other competitions, you couldn't really complain about with 2 title wins and a 2nd in the last 3 years, plus a top 4 finish at least this year. But in the CL we must surely have disappointed, especially when you look at PSG for example making it to the quarters in the last 2 seasons.

Unless we are. We've been around and around and around on this, haven't we.

Unless you are on the board at City or have some contacts you have not disclosed, you have no possible way of knowing whether we will be or not. City's statements and UEFA's are entirely contradictory on this topic, so we have no way of knowing which is correct.

If we are can we blame the evil Spanish duo and that corpse on the sideline?

I think Inter and Roma find out today their FFP sanctions.....relevant as it might impact on their bid to sign Yaya Toure.

I know Inter have a new owner but I wasn't aware of them spending big money
