Re: City & FFP (continued)

Platini told Sky Sports News: 'The people at Manchester City are not happy, the people of PSG, they are not happy, but I think Manchester United, Everton, they are happy.

****.

And are Everton really happy?

Yes Platini the man who voted to support the discredited Qatar World Cup bid after a private meeting with President Sarkozy and the Crown Prince of Qatar. Apart from one French magazine virtually no one in the media has ever investigated this. The best Sky Sports News can do is some tittle tattle about the rags while the sycophantic British media (with one or two exceptions) has swallowed the FFP propaganda without a murmur. Years from now, when the dust settles on this whole dishonourable episode, there are many people in the UK press who will be seen for what they are.

Makes my blood boil. I hope on the first Chumps league match at City that any of these UEFA twats tip up at our place we either make them pay £1m per ticket to get in or leave them stood in the car park without admission!!

Why would Everton be happy?

To stop the likes of us 'Cherry picking' the likes of Ross Barkley?

They shouldn't be. We bailed them out with the Lescott and Rodwell money. I guess they'd be in a mess now without it.

They want to be cherry picked by clubs who do things "the right way™"?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

FFP is, for me, quickly falling into the past concern category.

It seems clear from the club's press release and Khaldoon's position that the club are now putting it behind them too. As long as UEFA stand by the sanctions that City grudgingly accepted then we are as free from any future restriction as any club.

The next phase for the club is the move to profitability and I suspect that those profits may well set a new benchmark because City are doing things never done before in football.

Having a football group provides sponsors with a unique branding/sponsorship opportunity and of course the numbers will reflect that.

United claim 659m fans world wide but City Football Group will soon be able to claim much more than that. Most of united's sponsorship deals are localised, trading on mufc's success and history. CFG will be in the locality for every market as well as being a global success story and PL and CL anchors.

I've been talking for ages about City being the first club to generate $1bn in revenue and it might just happen in this decade.

FFP is a fast fading problem.

it seems clear to me ,5 years top from now,mcfc will have the highest income in world football
