FFP Question

[ShaunMCFC]

Okay with everyone getting all arsey with our naming sponsorship, just how many ways is there of getting around it. In theory whats stopping us giving someone unrelated to the club £10M and getting them to spend it on merchandise?

I was speaking to a lad in the pub about it yesterday and thinking of ways to get around it, they won't ever be able to stop ways of beating the system.

We have no need to do anything underhand to meet the FFP criteria. We'll manage it on turnover from our football-related activities alone once the redevelopments start coming online, and we've got a very good job of achieving it even without those developments if Cooke does a good enough job of increasing our commercial revenues.

How much do you thing city get from a sale of the shirt? Say 20%? that's probably generous. So you spend £10m on shirts. City get £2m.

The FFP is as watertight as a culinder, thats all you need to know or worry about.
There is nothing to stop Gallagher spending £1m in the club shop, there is nothing to stop a company buying a box and setting up a sponsorship deal for £10m a year.
Not only are we ruining football, were ruining the FFP ;-)

In theory I said. What if an unknown source buys shares in the club for over the odd prices?

There is a limitation on capital injections from club owners, assuming you are talking about a rights issue. If you are talking about them buying existing shares then the money would go to Sheikh Mansour, not City.
