Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

When was Messi booed? What game? I think this might be a myth.

It was some under cover City fans. All part of the plan. :-)

Re ffp isn't the most pertinent point being that we can actually afford to buy Messi for as much as Barca want - just some spreadsheet sent into UEFA has to have a certain balance at the end. ffp doesn't determine how much physical money we have so we can pay Barca £200m today - regardless of how that deal is structured it still goes on the FFP calculation as the full £200m we then have until the end of that monitoring period to raise the money to balance it out. transfer fees are not amortised for the FFP calculation and we don't need to be in credit for the deal to happen. It's the balance at the end of the monitoring period that is important right?

Partly right. It is the net profit that's the key for FFP but the transfer fee will be amortised as part of that. We report the full deal to UEFA but that's not part of the actual calculation as to whether we've passed or failed.

And are we thinking we can afford it under FFP?

Oh man back to the FFP thread for extra revision. So if we pay £200 for a 5 year contract his transfer fee means we need to find an additional £40m a year to offset that for the FFP calc?

 

[Gray]

Fuck FFP just get him signed up that will ensure filling the expanded stadium, and give a two fingered salute to Platini.

 

[PistonBlue]

Get him signed and we'll see if the pricks will dare to ban the world's most sponsored player.

Yes. It's an obscene amount of money.

If it's £200 we need I throw a tenner in right now! Anyone else?

How reliable are these ?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Anyone who thinks we would give a flying fuck about FFP if the chance arises to sign Messi needs to go and give their head a wobble, imo.

It's Twitter, so probably about as reliable as any random teenager with Internet access.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Surely there is a way round FFP,dunno what.....maybe a couple of personal sponsors thrown messi's way,maybe a sponsor for barca themselves,I'm sure mansour can sort that out.....you know what I mean,pay messi £150k a week and a sponsor pays £150k a week,summat along them lines.....no?

Exactly, people are way too hung up on the finances. If Messi is game for the move we'll buy him and worry about the implications once we have the best player in the world in our squad!

Just wondering here, as I did not stream through the pages, how many of you think or what are the chances of Messi angling for a new deal?

 

[g180aj]

we could easily get around ffp by getting ethics to sponsor him to make up his wages and reduce his wages. If he earns £250,000 a week that's £13mill basic plus bonuses say £3-4mill for goals trophies etc then ethics sign a sponsorship deal for £8mill that's around £25mill a year, he currently earns around £24mill a year from Barca allegedly.

What's ethics?

 

[Chippy]

I don't understand why the club does not employ g180aj as chief accountant/lawyer. I think he'd be grate negotiating these multi-million pound deals with sponsors ect.
