What teams are those then? Liverpool are in the shit. FSG hasn't invested a penny into them and won't do either. Arsenal have had rich owners for years but would rather take money out than put it in. Same for Spurs, if they really wanted to challenge the top 4, their owners had the resources to do it. They didn't though, because like Arsenal they are only interested in what they can take out.
Chelsea might spend, but Roman the Russian was one of the biggest advocates of FFP out there. He wanted to stop spending because he knows he can't afford to get into a cock waving contest with us or PSG.
As for the Glazers, as long as they can syphon money out of the gullible unwashed masses, they won't be selling up or opening the doors to new investors.

Another thing. Cut out this "historical" crap. It's bad enough hearing it from rags and scousers without listening to it on here. Look up the word in the dictionary and then research our history and compare it to theirs. Then come back and tell me who the "historically" big clubs are.

Fucking well said, mate. There isn't a club in the land with a more colourful narrative than City possess. The story about how City got to where they find themselves today is utterly astonishing in footballing terms. How can anything that astounding not be historically worthy?

Being a City fan these last 39 years has been a privilege.

Shhh. Nobody's sussed me yet. I've realised you just need to shout 'York Away' every ten posts and you seamlessly blend right in.

Historically big clubs? We had a street party in 1956 after our "little" club had won the Cup the day before. So think on, we have a long and proud history. And I have been there for for most of my 68 years.

i think 4 -1 and being on the hill (like me) at Blackburn will do, too ;-)
 
Great news. Means we can basically get whoever we feel that would be good for the club again.

Now just watch, sit back and enjoy summer with the likes of wenger, maureen pulis etc moan about how were ruining football with our spending power. Really can't wait for next season.

Will also be interesting too see how others spend this summer with this happening as well. It will definitely be more competitive.
 
Don't normally link the Mail, but the comments under he article say it All, City fans and other fans slating Platini, UEFA, and FFP. The penny had dropped a long time ago with many other fans as regards FFP. Not many Rags or Arsenal commenting. I wonder why. :-) They must be gutted. :-)

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa

And so it begins.

Those on here that were of the opinion that UEFA would have a strong case defending FFPR might be pleasantly surprised how wrong they may have been.

UEFA would have been in big trouble. Only one case had to go against them and they are literally piling up now.

We would have been ok either way anyway but morally it had to be killed.

With FFPR around five clubs Worldwide could have outspent us. Now it could be ten or twenty but more realistically it's going to be none.

As Pam correctly points out, and in my opinion, it's over.

The next thing to be thrown out will be the utter nonsense that is the homegrown rule.

City are open for business.
 
I remember when we were being linked to Torres before he lost his superpowers and a Liverpool mate confided that if we got him the gig was up for him. He was seriously threatening to give up on football. Nothing would mean anything anymore. It was all just money over loyalty.

And even though the thought of a Torres/Tevez partnership made me do a sex wee I did empathise to the extent where I didnt really want it to happen. Torres would have been the tipping point for many and we would have little defence to the charge of buying up all the best talents out there and essentially buying success.

But now we've been completely done over by FFP I feel very different. Now I want us to buy and buy very big and blow the fuck out of everybody in the water. Stupid wankers that they are. If we get Sterling and Liverpool moan and whinge I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh.

Fuck it I'm going to wave a few tenners in their self-righteous little faces.

But we didn't dispute it; we accepted it - won't that go against us in any 'claim'?
Click to expand...

No, because we've never accepted FFP. We don't recognize FFP.

Pleased to read it!
I wasn't sure on the wording of what the club had and had not actually accepted/acknowledged about FFP tbh
