Re: City & FFP (continued)

I am gratefully reassured by our Chairman's remarks about early transfer business - not least because it means we might end up buying somebody worth having!

You mean like the four wasters we got last summer

I think you might need to look up the word sarcasm.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Given the unique nature of the new City Football Group structure – which incorporates MCFC, New York City, Melbourne Heart and a number of other companies, the Club has agreed to certain non-material terms in order to make FFP reporting as easy as possible for UEFA to discern.

What are the non-material terms? if CFG becomes the most profitable part, with global deals like Nissan ext. can we include in our earnings?

I take it to mean that we won't include sales of IP in our FFP calculation in future but that it doesn't matter to us as we'll pass without it.
