Every Summer we get this from his so-called agent. Yaya is just trying to be nice to everyone. Ignore it

I would suggest it is very much related to FFP. Yaya is a great player, but he has enough money to feed a good chunk of the Ivory Coast, and his wealth will now be meaningless. Like any great player, it's now all about honours and for him it will be the Champions League, the World Cup, and ACON. With a powerful 25 man squad, we would have had every chance of bringing the C/L to this country, but UEFA have now sabotaged that dream and I am sure that his agent is now sounding out Europe's finest where he might feel this need is better satisfied before he retires. At 31, time is not on his side.goalmole said:I know this is in the wrong thread but why doesn't he just tell his agent to shut the fuck up?Marvin said:Why don't you just let his performances and the man speak for himself?

It'd go a long way to maintaining Yaya's reputation.
goalmole said:Personally i totally agree that it is an unfair situation, but it isn,t one of our choosing. I think the club have come to terms with it and have made plans to work round and exploit it, hence the Yokohama/ Nissan deal that has been announced today. I'm sure us fans causing a ruckus now will harm City more than help it. All we can realistically do is let the Club deal with it as they see fit and let others fight that particular battle if they feel they must.Pam said:goalmole said:I've tried to say this in a few of my previous posts, so i'm in danger of sounding like a broken record but FFP suits our owners to the ground just at this moment in time. We have to realise that our owners aren't football fans like us, they're businessmen and politicians. They've had 5 years to challenge FFP in the courts if that was the route they really wanted to go, instead of which they have chosen to work inside the framework rather than oppose it. The reason for this, i would submit, is that now we are on the verge of breaking even and are becoming successful on the field FFP will no longer affect us because all the upfront expenditure has been made to get us where we are and the club will now become self financing and self sustaining. Why would our owners having gone to all this trouble now want to open a door for other investors to buy other clubs and do the the same as us thereby creating unwanted competition for revenue and trophies when UEFA have gone to all this trouble to close it for them. Is it fair? No it's not. Is it right for our owners investment with City? You bet.
I agree. I mean I think our ship has sailed. But its a desperately unfair situation for the likes of Everton and Villa if Uefa lock up the biggest or richest ten or so European clubs and preserve their supremacy in aspic for all time. This is a twatty thing that they are doing whether it affects us very much or not.

You'd be a brilliant reporter in fact you areLoveCity said:That annoying twonk Ben Rumsby, who I begrudgingly admit has been right on a fair few FFP matters, says the fine is going to be divided and given to our rival Premier League clubs. Although if we meet the sanctions and get most back as the club expects, it'd give them only £138,000 each. But it's still an insult, considering we've done NOTHING wrong.
It's depressing how UEFA blatantly want to stop us and City can do nothing about it except take the slap on the wrist for now. And with Dupont's challenge failing, there is nothing to stop it continuing.
I hope a fire engulfs UEFA HQ, tbh. Corrupt megalomaniacs.
