Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.
I was wondering about the lack of concern in Ffp about debt .
I'm no accountant or financial expert but trading losses are the difference , as I understand , between the money made by a business and the money it costs to make it. If it costs more money to run a business than it actually makes then that is a loss . If a business owner wants to cover those losses with his own money , which he can afford, then why should that concern anyone? Debts , on the other hand , is money owed to other people or institutions , which means that somebody , somewhere , is losing out . It seems fairly simple.
Is it fair that certain clubs who have special tax arrangements or indeed are operating in a tax haven are allowed to take part in competitions with those who don't have such advantageous benefits?
Perhaps if you are big enough ( or French enough ) you can get away with anything.

Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.
As a regular visitor to the site and previously a poster before the site became a bit troll like, there would often be healthy debate about whether there was a written press, media, general referee/FA Premier League bias towards the 'top clubs.'
If anyone was ever in any doubt then surely the sight and sound of the Brit hating, previously cultured footballer turned social nationalist, Platini offering a job to Ferguson must surely convince everyone that there is indeed a job's for the boys politics inherent at the highest echelons of football.
The activities of Txiki Begiristan, Soriano, Khaldoun and Shiek Mansour demonstrate to me that they know this and are countering this in every way they know how.
Apologies for the slightly drunken post, but right now I'm proud to be blue and pleased that we have a management structure I could only have dreamed of when I first started watching City. Don't want to speak ill of the dead so I'll leave it there.

Surely financial fair play should have a financially fair playing field.

Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.
Reading that interview by Martin Samuel and my thoughts after a few sherberts are that he'll succeed Blatter in charge at FIFA and FFP will just die a slow death in a corner somewhere.
I may have missed it but Martin Samuels never asked him about the legal challenge to FFP which I would have asked.
We have wonderful owners who run a Country not just a football club, I'm sure they know what they are doing, and I trust them implicitly.
