Man City opinion: Blues got clobbered by FFP while others get off lightly in Uefa crackdown

Its a disgrace especially when they moved the goal posts on us as well.

Never ever let anybody try and say there's no agenda/stealth attacks on us.

I'm just going to shout 'Aguerooooooooo' at any rags I see today to make me feel good.

It's going to be a right laugh this summer when we spend a shit load of money. Chelsea, United, Liverpool and arsenal fans genuinely think we're screwed next season due to ffp. I think there's going to be a lot of moaning coming from them this summer.

Not forgetting the clause in FFP regulations that allow other clubs to challenge our spending. It's going to be interesting to see if any of the fuckers try it on.

There is no such clause. There's a clause that allows them to challenge any appeal to the CFCB, but that has nothing to do with our spending this summer.

Can anyone clear something up for me. It's expected we're going to spend big this summer, does this now mean we can spend millions every summer from now? Im not that screwed on with the whole amortisation stuff.

I await Arsene Whinger's comments with a big fat smile on my face.

Can't believe how little these fukers have been fined.

What's going to be even funnier is that it will come in the wake of a raft of new sponsorship announcements and that we will comply with FFP going forward. Supporters of those clubs are so consumed with hate that they haven't objectively considered City in relation to FFP. They are in for one 'orrible shock.

In the interests of transparency, it would be helpful if UEFA formally came out and stated the position of City and PSG with regards to lifted (or not) sanctions. Arguably, it doesn't technically need explanation, but it would be good practice for UEFA to do so.

I can see how there's a case that clubs and UEFA might not want the world to know, but that's just against all they claim to be standing for with regards to FFP.

I don't think UEFA want our position to be spelled out clearly.
Frankly , I am inclined to believe that whatever our commercial success in terms of passing FFP , the "powers that be" want a certain amount of water to remain muddied , so that the narrative of City cheating and lying and being financed out of the Sheik's pockets , can be perpetuated irrespective of the facts , which nobody reads or understands anyway.
They want a level of doubt and suspicion to remain, so that fingers can always be pointed.

Excellent point!

There again maybe the legal agreement that was almost certainly entered into to get the 'compromise' ADUG agreed to has clauses that both sides must abide by.
Any detailed statement may also expose face saving by UEFA that had to pander to the most militant members of G14. It had to look harsh whereas in reality it would never develop to its maximum financial penalty.

ADUG meanwhile will carry on having defeated the best (and worst) that UEFA can throw at them and frankly do not want or need any statement of conformity in detail. They know they are OK this time and will continue the commercial emphasis that makes their Business Plan worth the massive funds our owner foresaw and others feared.
