Or just get one of our owners business' to sponsor us for £500m a year. What they want to bring in is against European law anyway and I can't see it happening, and I agree with other posters Platini and Blatter are both wankers.
MICHEL PLATINI is ready to ban crazy-spending Manchester City from European competitions.
The UEFA president launched a scathing attack on City’s billionaire owners for the ‘ridiculous’ £108million bid to buy AC Milan’s Kaka.
City have been splashing the cash since Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan took control.
But European football chief Platini said: “How can a guy cost 150million euros? For me it’s ridiculous — from a football, social and financial point of view.
“If you want to buy a plane for 150m euros or a boat, you can do.
“But for a man? For me it’s bad. It’s not possible. But it’s why we have to do something.
“I’m finding a system where you can spend what you have. If one Sheikh brings 150million euros for Kaka then you have to put his salary on top of the transfer fee.
“If the club go over their income with the player’s salary plus fee, they can be banned from our competitions because they don’t respect their budget.
“It’s about a licensing system where clubs spend within their income.
“Clubs who are banned will be replaced by those further down the table of that country who meet the criteria. It’s not to disturb football but to protect it. Many owners have asked me to find a system. I have to do that as president of UEFA.â€
Platini will also be looking at new rules to curb the transfer of youth players to different countries.
He added: “That means Manchester City can have all the young players of Manchester.
“They can work and come to the training centre of City and become Kaka. And they don’t need to buy him for 150million because they have their own school.â€
UEFA are also looking at introducing a salary cap, as well as a limited number of professional contracts per squad.
All proposals will come into force within three years if they get the go-ahead from UEFA bosses.
But Platini hinted the Premier League’s plan to play a 39th game abroad could scupper England’s 2018 World Cup bid.
He said: “I have a problem with the 39th game. I think it’s stupid. I can’t react if the Premier League press ahead. But FIFA can and the Confederation that will receive the game can react.â€
And UEFA’s chief slammed the idea of a GB football team at the 2012 Olympics in London.
He said: “There can’t be a GB team. Great Britain doesn’t exist in football.â€
how can we ignore him when he is empowered within an organisation that could make his threats a reality, i am seriously thinking that all man city fans should come together and protest against platinis comments the f.a's bogus charge brought on swp and the absolute battering we are getting from the press, i have had enough of it all and i am starting to wish that adug never bought our beloved clubMavis said:This is just the usually un-educated dribble that you get out of the likes of Platini & his mentor Blatter !
What a load of nonesense. He hasn't even looked at the facts. Tottenham Spent more money that us in the transfer window
are they now ruining the game?
Also using the % the income over expenditure formula. I recall that the only Club (top 5) in the premiership that would of met the guidelines were Man Utd. The likes of chelsea were spending over 120% of income on wages alone.
Nice to see that we are "Big" enough to appear on Platini's radar these days - but ignore his comments he's a wanker!
Nah mate. Fuck them, everyone of them, we are coming and no threat, article or ban will stop us. Ever.
