I think I said this in the wrong forum, but I'll say my thoughts on FFP:
Everything regarding FFP is stupid... because FFP is stupid a concept.
FFP was NOT designed to keep the league competitive, that is a big misnomer the general populace has.
Instead it was a limitation on spending wherein the big clubs stayed big and the small clubs stay small, hence, FFP is essentially ANTI-COMPETITIVE.
Even if City did break FFP rules, I don't care at all if media spew this because FFP is a sham to begin with.
On top of that, FFP was designed to stop clubs from going bankrupt, and over the last few years we have STILL SEEN MANY CLUBS FUCK UP FINANCES EVEN WITH FFP. And City were clearly never in danger of going bankrupt, so it's design implementation for it's intention was insanely flawed.
The league could have easily put in a limit to spending by ALL clubs in the premier league, similar to America which forces all teams to have the same wage/spending cap, but they didn't. If they truly wanted competition, where everybody is fighting for the league they could have done this.
Anyways, that's it. FFP is the biggest sham of a system I have ever seen in professional sport.
