The rags are this close | | to signing Kagawa from Dortmund, and he is much like Hazard and it's either/or so they will not buy both of them.
Rags shopping in the bargain bin again but it has to be said Kagawa is a true bargain, much better than the overrated Little Pee-Pee.

the extra revenue we will get next season
league finish a couple of millions
new shirt sponsorship from 6 to 26 millions
CL probably around 40 millions because we get 40 percent of the TV revenue.
Etihad sponsor deal 40 million
selling players, increased fanbase thanks to Asia tour and as PL winners.
i Belive we will have at least an extra 100 millions,
Still not enough for next few years..
I don't doubt we'd make it in some 10 years but in 5 years, no chance if we continue to buy top players and pay top wages.
We're still far, far away from teams like RM, Barcelona, United, Liverpool, even Chelsea, Milan or Inter MIlan in terms of fanbase and that is most important thing to boost the revenue.
Last season we were 170 millions in minus, on the summer we spent new 70 millions for transfer fees and wages got even bigger. 2012 is the year where the limit is 45 millions and there's no chance we could be inside that.
We need more time.
But if we want to stay competitive we had to do it like we did and if UEFA wouldn't be flexible I believe we would challenge it legally. And win.

You're wrong fella.
Has to be remembered that the accounts we file at year end are completely different to the ones used for FFP.
Do you really think that our owners are that stupid as to win the Prem without knowledge that we'll comply with FFP?
Don't believe all the shit you read in the papers...

I don't give a crap about papers but do about common sense..
No chance we are able to generate enough revenue to deal with transfer fees and wages we're paying yet. It's long way to go - I have access to some significant example of football market and I know that number of City fans are still 10 times less worldwide than Chelsea ones, and it gets only worse comparing it to Liverpool, Arsenal, United, Barcelona or Real MAdrid. That's where money is and we're far away from generating it enough to deal with expenses on the level we currently are, it's a common sense really, no matter how optimistic we are privately.
Our owners are using one of two strategies at the moment:
1. to assure UEFA we're going in right direction and our failings to meet FFPR demands are going to be dealt with soon. It's best option as it's better to stay in good relations with them.
2. If we fail to do it and UEFA plays dirty, I'm sure the people behind the club won't hesitate to fight legally against them. I'm absolutely positive UEFA can't win any FFPR related case, it's just a brutal attack on free trade policy and none of European rules can't rule in their favor.
