Re: City & FFP (continued)

I know it isn't relevant to to FFP, but has anyone mentioned Real Madrid offering Levante players huge bonuses if they beat Athletico at the weekend? If that happened in the EPL there would be outrage.There is huge amounts of skullduggery that happens in world football, most of which the Premiership seems to avoid. No racism or fixing controversies here, just an owner willing to invest his own money into the club and the City. Absolutely disgusting what is goingo on here.

Lets just say what most of us on here believe to be true, clubs colluding to conspire against us regarding ffp, media bias etc. City have said nothing for 6 years, could be for a reason. Maybe, just maybe city have thought the same thing as us and have been gathering evidence for those 6 years should they ever need it. It seems we are making a stance against uefa, the media has changed practically overnight, City can afford the beest investigators in the world.Mmmmmm. Now that would be seismic.
Fwiw. This is my opinion.
Sheikh Mansour and his group have a different agenda to mere fans such as ourselves. The way they have played FFP right from the beginning has been more in a spirit of co operation rather than confrontation. I suspect that the owners rather like the idea of FFP.
If we think about it rationally, what better way for the Sheikh's investment to be protected in perpetuity. The only stumbling block to this strategy would seem to be whether we can get over the drawbridge before it is pulled up.
I think the owners calculated that we would pass FFP in it's initial stages giving our revenue time to catch up. Once that happened then FFP would become irrelevant and MCFC could then consolidate and improve it's hold as one of the richest and most successful clubs going forward.
This is still a valid and viable strategy from a purely business point of view. This setback will be seen merely as a blip, with the strategy only being delayed and not necessarily being derailed. The commercial team will have to work harder than was originally envisaged but once all the revenue streams that are in the pipeline come to fruition then MCFC as a business should be able to progress the project as originally envisaged with having the added benefit of MCFC being inocculated against other rich owners buying other clubs to threaten the investment made by the Sheikh.
This scenario may be anathema to us fans but i have suspected this to be the real strategy of MCFC and i still hold by that view. It is for this reason that i suspect MCFC will not be challenging FFP in the courts anytime soon.
