Poor old La liga. abit rich of them to ask where our money comes from when they have illegally backed Real and Barca for years with dodgy TV deals etc

For Barca and Madrid to complain, that really shows where the corruption lies in UEFA.
They have bled their leagues dry of money for years, there are not a viable business model if the artificial enhancement of their league income is rebalanced, like it is in the premier league.
They can see how the landscape is changing and it doesn't suit them one bit.
So fuck'em i say....fuck'em!!!

Would have been top of the league if the Sanchez and JFE deals went through ;-)

True about Sanchez but the sake of Managala would have almost covered JFE's transfer fee. I'm just relieved that the rag stayed at West Brom.

I think the net spend tables I have seen have exaggerated our spend a little. The outgoings column seem to include add ons so on the same basis we've brought in around £100mil plus loan fees.

Imagine being an Arsenal fan and looking at that. Complete lack of ambition when they should have been making plenty of signings to get back into the top four.
 
Pretty sceptical about that report. Seems to be based on a tweet from a journalist with about 3000 followers. If UEFA really were investigating us again it would be widely reported in the mass media. The likes of Ben Rumsby and Rob Harris wouldn't be able to contain their glee. Nothing to see here.

La Liga complaining about 'state sponsoring' is somewhat hilarious, given the widespread enablers given to Real Madrid over the years by the Spanish government.

Yes the Citywatch article is not directly based on the La Liga complaint but on a 3rd party's interpretation of La Liga's complaint and so far the majority of reports state that La Liga are concerned about PSG rather than MCFC.

I guess a reporter could generalise a specific complaint about PSG into the general issue of the state sponsorship of football clubs which some would argue includes MCFC. However although City are owned by Sheik Mansour the revenue coming from UAE companies is not that significant.

Worth keeping an eye on though in case there is a new complaint. The reports are recent but given the profile of the issue, I think there would be a lot of other reports out there if there was a new La Liga complaint
 
Moving forward we'll be following a similar model of selling younger unknown players, bringing a decent return in. I'd expect Delph, Toure, Fernandinho, Bravo, Mangala, at least, to be sold to make space on the wage bill and another £100m or so net spend. If our profits continue to grow maybe £70-100m in the black. FFP will be a distant irritation we've moved on from.
