Short story long…
Some clubs have been getting away with interest free “loans” from their owners, with zero penalty or inclusion in FFP/RTP/ATP or XYZ.
Meanwhile, City have been operating debt-free, without any owner loans, yet everyone complains that City get juiced commercial deals from Mansour’s sister, brother, aunt, and mother, who just happen to run large companies in AD.
Therefore, owner loans don’t count against anything and we just can’t go back and change that because everyone agreed it was fine…even though City proved it was ILLEGAL…BUT City are going to have to prove their deals are all FMV.
And, says the PL to their favored clubs, not to worry about your illegal subsidies, we are going to write new rules that act like they never happened and it’ll all be legal and fuck City!
Not so fast, says City. That isn’t right or legal and we don’t want to have to go to court again…do we???
Question:
Given City are the most successful club in the most commercially viable and expensive League in the world, and are now more successful in the last 4 years than any club in history, what EXACTLY is FMV for any commercial deal they make, especially if some of them are priced BELOW similar deals done by other, considerably less successful, clubs?
Quandary.
