[Danamy]

So the £150m NET spend isnt such a crazy prediction after all then?

**rubs hands**

A few did try saying that about 80 pages ago.........

I know, and a few vocal posters were very against they idea.

Roll on summer.

This is when city show there strength in world football this is going to be good.

 

[Blue warrior]

Whilst this good news I think city will still work within our own sustainability framework this no doubt the squad needs a shake up but we will still be careful.

 

[jonmcity]

We will want our money back. This proves FFP was brought in not for the good of football, but to stop us & PSG. We should demand the cash back with interest and loss of potential earnings from commercial income.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Considering we're there or thereabouts breaking even these days will this effectively mean it's game over for us in regards to worrying about FFPR? Even if it wasn't we could spend what we wanted for a good few years before having to worry at all? Although we could do just as well and fall within the guidelines?

Also will this help with sponsorship and the like as people will see that our owners are willing to invest and that we have been successful under strict FFPR so will probably be more or just as successful with much more relaxed FFPR?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Here's a question....


Suppose a club (either in CL or not) decided to reign in their spending, and instead 'saved up' for 3-5 years and managed to save 250m quid.

Then with their savings, they decided to have a spending spree one summer... and blow the lot on a couple of marquee players.

Now, their revenue MIGHT be relatively small, but they've saved up. How would UEFA deal with that situation where they spending precisely what they've earned, but over the monitoring their revenue might only be 150m and they're spending 250m.

I don't know how FFP handles this situation, does anybody else know?

That's effectively what we've done except we've been given the money rather than saved it.

So the answer is that if they play in Manchester and wear blue, they'd get fined and have other sanctions imposed. If, on the other hand they play in Manchester and wear red...

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

The rags like to remind us that non of our trophies count due to financial doping, does this mean their last title doesn't count from having to get their friends in high places to invent rules to try and stop us?

"The threats appeared to block Man City's interest in signing Radamel Falcao from Monaco last offseason".

The law of unintended consequences can be a real bitch.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Anyone catch what that bloke on talkshite was saying about FFP,any club who has a benefactor with NO debt will be exempt from FFP ??

 

[Vincents Tackle]

Well, well, well. Nice of UEFA to finally start admitting that the FFP rules stink and were put in for one reason only.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

They didn't sound too happy on talk sport, proper pissed on everyone's chips. It's flying under the radar on sky too, bad news need burying.

The ridicule and contempt we would have received from the media if we had signed Falcao and he had performed for us like he has the rags would have been epic.
It's the biggest bullet we've dodged since Kaka.

So we could spend £500m if we wanted?

 

[LoveCity]

Anyone considered that they may still try to screw us by imposing a rule like 'only new investors may spend x amount of money for x years', thus shutting out those who have had cash rich investors for a while - empowering the likes of Milan (if they get bought) and Inter, but not City and PSG?
