Re: City & FFP (continued)

Wouldn't it be utterly wonderful if that Gang of Four c**ts letter became the smoking gun that did for FFP.

I wouldn't be able to leave myself alone for weeks if that happened!

So no change then?

Dear Sir

More lotion might be required, but essentially no.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

So is there a possibility FFP could become defunct and we'll be able to sign Bale, Pogba, Cavani and Messi if those running the club want to?

What's most telling on that letter is the date and the four clubs whose name is at the bottom.

Since that date our spending on players and wages has diminished , whereas all of theirs will have increased dramatically, most notably at united.

They don't seem quite so concerned about inflationary spending now. What a fucking joke.

Every time I see that letter, I am left thinking there's a middle page missing.

Or some text for sure. It doesn't look right, does it?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

This is from the BBC Gossip column, from a Spanish paper I think:

Spanish champions Atletico Madrid have recruited former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon as an advisor, with a remit to expand the club's international presence.

It looks like everybody now sees that 'going global' is the route to success. If you want to get up there with the big boys (are stay there if you have), you need to have your share of the worldwide fan base.

I think its safe to say that football is cementing its place as the number 1 sport, with Europe and specifically the PL as the top dogs. We may turn out to be in the right place at the right time in the same way United were when the PL was created.

Atletico Madrid already have. They bought a 25% stake in an Indian club in the new ISL, and with it the rights to brand the club as Atletico de Kolkata.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that. They obviously have a wideranging longterm plan. Those that haven't are likely to get left behind.

I have it on good authority he prefers The Townley. Better selection of crisps, apparently.

He has actually answered that question, albeit incorrectly, in one of his end of season reviews.

In one of his few gaffes as Chairman, he incredibly opted for muffin. Almost grounds for dismissal in my eyes.

No mate he was getting in an ELS merc at the front of the ground .i first met him by chance on his initial tour of the ground a few days after the takeover, that's when I asked why city ? And his reply was if they had taken over a successful club it wouldn't make a difference.they wanted to build city as a project .he then said we are going to make this the biggest club in the world which at the time seemed mad .so every time I've seen him since I ask him how he thinks we are doing

Re: City & FFP (continued)

ffp and the stadium threads shouldn't contain muffin and barm debates

, could people please leave the two aforementioned on topic

Re: City & FFP (continued)

City's starting line-up against Spurs cost £125m.

Be interesting to see if a comparison exists between the starting line-ups across the Premiership and European Leagues.

What is startling about City's spending, is not how much, but how well it has been spent. If we had spent like Spurs, or most other Premiership teams (to be fair they are not alone) then we'd have been sunk by FFP, and would be on the outside looking in
