Re: City & FFP (continued)
So there you have it, all the know it alls and experts saying we would get away with it look like being proven wrong. Pretty obvious really that we were going to get stung, why else would they have bothered bringing it in. Like I said earlier and got slated, we wont be breaking even (in the eyes of UEFA at least) any time soon, especially now they are restricting our 'dodgier' deals.
Who cares anyway, we're champions again and we could only dream of this until our owners came in. UEFA want their piece of the pie no matter how corrupt it clearly is.

I misread the bit about not increasing sponsorship. I missed the word secondary and assumed they meant the Etihad deal.
If they have accepted the Etihad deal isn't an RPT, and it suddenly increases to about £100M a year, it would be a serious Fuck You to Uefa. I'm just dreaming though, because at this stage it feels like we have been well and truly outmanoeuvred.

Well it's certainly looking that way mate. I can't understand why we have allowed them to class Etihad as related party.
I'm content to look at the bigger picture. We wouldn't have acquiesced with this if it wasn't in our long term strategic interests.

Why is everyone suggesting it's a disaster? We have failed FFP and from what I can see the club must be confident we will pass next year. If we aren't making a fuss about it then there mustn't be anything to make a fuss about

Re: City & FFP (continued)
Should we be reading something into this paragraph?
From the outset, the Club has engaged with UEFA in its introduction of the Financial Fair Play Regulations in good faith and without prejudice and in a transparent and collaborative manner. The Club’s position is that it is beholden upon UEFA and the European football establishment to ensure the same.

Re: City & FFP (continued)
Well, there's the European elections coming up soon. It could be worth having a word with the prospective MEPs? So few bother to vote, I'm sure us fans could come along as helpful allies or unwanted enemies to any prospect MEP. What do you think? Say there's at least 100,000 blues in the Northwest, well that could easily swing it.
Other than this, we could all write/complain to the UEFA's sponsors.... Boycott the likes of Carlsburg, MacDonalds etc....
However, lets see what has happened first. If we've been hit less than PSG and/or even the same then the club should feel rightly pissed off.... I mean they should feel pissed off anyway, but even more so.
