Great article that hits the nail well and truly on the head . . . Since we were taken over by Mr mansour and co it's suddenly become a terrible thing to be able to spend money . . . And who is it that's moaning , Chelsea and united both of which have spent hundreds of millions to build squads to win . . . If it wasn't so funny you'd have to cry at the hypocrisy . . .

From the article:

When Chelsea spent big, there were no such rules so legally they were not doing anything wrong. Now there is FFP and who brought that in, was it Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal? No, it was UEFA. Chelsea are trying their best to follow the rules by selling their best player, Juan Mata, when a good bid arrived. If FFP was not there he wouldn't be sold. Manchester City sold image and intellectual property rights to an unnamed party for close to £50m, allowing the club to cut its losses by almost half. Is this something fishy? Yes. So other clubs have every right to complain.
Era Var, Åland Islands

Look at the origins of financial fair play and where it ended up, I think the elite clubs had a bigger influence on its final draft than you imagine. Also, I know where those intellectual property rights have gone and why it cannot be disclosed. When City can make an announcement, more will be understood.

What does he mean here? Who has bought the rights?

could mean city's getting it's own own TV channel?

Some of the comments on there from Chelsea fans are hilarious.

Like the offspring of scrap-metal dealers, who when sent to public school, seem to forget what paid for their education in the first place, when they get a new bunch of friends to hang round with and pontificate with each other about their refinement and social status.

Fucking clowns.
