So, we can't just spend the money, we have to tell them how much we're spending first? Have uefa not had enough humiliation heaped on them?

I hope Khaldoon smiles right in platini's smug face and tells him the Sheikh is investing another £xxx out of his own pocket.

Not sure how correct this is

I still don't see how that is expected to work unless all conflicts of interest are removed, which will never happen with UEFA. UEFA is just one big conflict of interest. How could they expect City to give a detailed three year plan, say, to UEFA when they have people like Gill looking at it? It's just absurd and it will be challenged.

Not in the Premier League.

Yes. Because we are in profit.

Not quite true though is it ?

If we wanted to buy Messi tomorrow and force Barca to play ball by putting in a starting bid of £200 million we could not do it.

Yes we could.

 

[richards30]

Yes we could.

Some people just dont understand how much revenue messi brings do they? Not just shirt sales but general exposure, more tv matches and bigger sponsorship!

Apparently L'Equipe are saying PSG will still be affected by FFP restrictions until 2019, so maybe the rule changes won't be as drastic as some think. It shouldn't really affect us anyway, but saying FFP is effectively dead might be premature.

If that's true PSG really need to go above UEFAs heads and take legal action. Fair play my arse.

As I understood the statements FFP isn't changing much at all. The only major change planned is a new owner can apply for some exemption if they are putting money in as equity and they can show how they will return to break even. As PSG have already had that investment I wouldn't expect a new application to be accepted. FFP isn't dead by any means.

Thanks for that Ric, it seems clear that ADUG negotiated their 'pinch' specifically to suit City and which dovetailed readily into the existing ADUG Business Plan with just a little timeline adjustment.
I suppose the danger now is that UEFA can point to City as the way forward for any aspiring investor claiming credit for ADUG's business plan.

Seemingly PSG have decided to take their medicine over a longer period ?
Can this be because their place in Europe is almost assured each year ?
