City & FFP | 2020/21 Accounts released | Revenues of £569.8m, £2.4m profit (p 2395)

As far as I recall it was City and PSG who were lobbying for some relaxation as the current rules did not allow any room for serious outside investment. A combination of our enhanced commercial success alongside access to owner funds has to be good news for us.

It's very good news.

Khaldoon introduced a motion for the monitoring period to be ten years, allowing serious investors to underline their commitment.

Think it might be something like this.

I hate the bent UEFA twats, all the same.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

There will be blood.

That sound you hear?

That's the arse dropping out of United's transfer kitty.

United's cash machine won't have it all their own way if the deepest pockets in town are 'allowed' to reach a little deeper once more.

So it will go back to no Value in the market..

 

[aguero93:20]

And UEFA don't want to be in the position where they have to punish two of their golden boys in Milan.

They have to be in europe to be punished by UEFA.

They also have to be in Europe to be relevant and will have to spend serious money to get there looking at the state of both teams/clubs.

 

[Blue Theatre]

It's ridiculous that while PSG and City were making losses, Platini has been absolutely 100% clear that FFP must be adhered to strictly ... everyone was given plenty of warning, there are no excuses, etc ...

... and now that the likes of Milan, Inter and Roma are making losses and City are in the black, suddenly he backtracks and wants to be more lenient and understanding.

This is on top of the fact that the punishments for other clubs seem to have been far far more lenient than those handed-out to PSG and City, for no logical reason.

Have to admire his nerve.

Someone should be looking into this rip-off shit. How much money did these toads scam from City and PSG?

Yeah that's my feeling also and has been since I heard about Khaldoon's proposal. 10 year monitoring period for "new" owners or owners who want to invest heavily quickly. Was always going to be the case that the rules changed because they aren't sustainable or workable or fair in their current guise.

is that why United have gone in early on the likes of Depay, because they know what's coming and are trying to cash in their advantage early?

They have been whining about how they always have to be out of the way and how people are trying to take the piss with transfer fees because of what a MASSIVE club they are.

 

[hertsblue]

So can we play with 14 players on the field in the Champions League, to make up for the shortfall we endured last time ?
If so, please make it the ref and his lino's.

And have our fine handed back to us. What a scam

 

[Leech]

Could actually be bad. If the rules our slackened to the extent that they are less strict than the Premiership FFP rules then we'll be on the lower end of the playing field.

Might also be the reason Mourinho said this last week:

I can imagine that, this summer, it will be like Wall Street collapsing. I can imagine that some clubs are coming into the market with such determination that they will disrupt the market and take it in unexpected directions.

All I can say is, lets get it on.

 

[Pam]

Can't wait for end of season statement of intent.

 

[FanchesterCity]

Here's a question....


Suppose a club (either in CL or not) decided to reign in their spending, and instead 'saved up' for 3-5 years and managed to save 250m quid.

Then with their savings, they decided to have a spending spree one summer... and blow the lot on a couple of marquee players.

Now, their revenue MIGHT be relatively small, but they've saved up. How would UEFA deal with that situation where they spending precisely what they've earned, but over the monitoring their revenue might only be 150m and they're spending 250m.

I don't know how FFP handles this situation, does anybody else know?

Not got a clue but thats a fantastic point/question.

I was thinking the same thing but in reverse. Say we spent 300 million 1 summer and 30 million for the next 2, something like that maybe. If you spend that much then you would only, in theory, need to top up after that for a few years. This is on the assumption of a 10 year monitoring period obviously.

Easy. If its one of the traditional big clubs it will be fine. If its not and it could affect one of the traditional big clubs it will be frowned upon and quickly banned under a new rule rushed in within days.

If its us we will be banned from any football for ever.

Hope that helps.

[jimmygrimblesboots]

We should put two fingers up to Platini,Gill and Rummenigge , spend 300m signing Bale, Pogba, De Bruyne and a world class centre half , and another 100m keeping Yaya and Milner at the club , and let the let the c*nts at UEFA and ECA pick the bones out of that. Richer than god ? You bet we are.

 

[Pam]

I suppose the main point is that it has at least dawned on Twattini that it's just not feasible within it's present format. Plus PSG and City started kicking off about not taking further hits.
