It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

They aren’t. CFG are.Which with my limited understanding has no impact on City’s profit and loss.

I've answered this above. It is not that simple.

They won't need to - they can take action in 3 years time.

after we’ve won it three times and we’ll all be laughing.

anyone thinking we can’t afford this deal is literally a moron.

FFP gives UEFA power to adjust certain items in the P&L. If it thinks City are loading costs artificially into CFG it will do us. And it now knows exactly which buttons to press, how to ask for information, what to sanction us for non-compliance, what to argue at CAS etc etc. We are playing with fire if we try and be too smart. Either he works as a City signing under FFP without loads of bells and whistles or he doesn't. The wolves (literally and metaphorically) are waiting eagerly for us to slip up.

But surely, they can only legislate for the part where he plays for Manchester City ?

If he has a 2 year deal for MCFC for 275k pw, then moves to China or USA, how can they police it then ?

I AM A MORON. Without selling a player (or swapping one) to create a massive fat profit (say Jesus at a notional €100m, we almost certainly can't afford it under FFP as it stands.

Unless we actually get him on a free?

Christ, are we really going to do this nonsense again. We will not beat UEFA next time. FFP gives UEFA plenty of power to sanction the club. It will not make the same mistakes next time. We are playing with fire.

Said exactly the same yesterday, seemed I was the only one concerned by this.
We nearly got banned from Europe which could have cost us hundreds of millions of pounds and could have set us back years.
We dodged a bullet and it’s looking like we’re prepared to stick our head right down the barrel again.
I don’t understand how we have gone from sponsorship will cover it to having to do this.
Seems stupid to me.

If that is the deal there is no issue. But if at 35/36 his wages jump to £1.5m pw, you think UEFA etc won't twig? They won't fuck up the investigation this time.

Hello

Any news on out goings ? This wank international break is probably not helping

 

[slbsn]

Yes that would help but still very hard to see how a €250m+ deal over 2 years is affordable.

Have I missed anything today other than people flapping and questioning our owners again?
