One of the things i struggle to understand with these charges and it never seems to get mentioned is the inward investment from firstly the China media capital to the tune of £400 million in 2015 for a 13% stake in City and then Silverlake with a further £500 million investment for 13% in 2019 .. If you believe what the premier league charges are implying , the club were paying the likes of Mancini and Yaya Toure a few million off the books to comply with FFP , paying the likes of Etisalat (a multi billion pound turnover company) £12 million to sponsor us ...All this adds up to chump change compared to the £900 million inward investment between the years 2015-19 from CMC and Silverlake... Are they not allowed to use this money to buy players and count in our favour towards FFP ?.. if they are then surely it more than covers us financially for the most of the years in question , or are they including the inward investments into the charges ?.. or am i missing something ?..
