PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

"IF".

I've just read an overview, but the one thing no one seems to know is if the five times figure includes transfers, wages & agents fees.

This would give City £530m headroom based on last season, BUT more disturbingly, if the calculation included all the above & our wage bill is North of £400m, we'd be limited to £130m net spend. However, is this figure reduced when sales are taken into account?

Also, I've seen our wage bill estimates ranging between £200m - £400m, which will have a huge bearing on the above.

All these bullshit FFP/PSR rule changes just to stop City. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water...

But it’ll have a profound impact on other clubs. Look at United and their wage bill?
 
I am tired of these ffp rules, constant fucking changes.

whats this new shit now? all clubs can spend maximum same amount? yet we have an uefa set of rules which is somewhat different...

soon enough there will be a transfer job market for best accountants who understand all the sides, risks of these new rules and Uefa rules etc.

I bet current change stems from that current rules still allow City to spend a lot and would allow it too next few seasons too until our revenues are high up. you wouldnt see these changes all the time if it would suit dippers, Arse, rags sharing top3 regularly while limiting others.

funny enough all these rules start to catch up with actually the likes of rags and Chelsea, and it limits them more due to their obscene money wasting for so long.

Not one directive that addresses treating the fans any better, just the business, just the money, just the elites.

I may have misunderstood you, but that doesn't mean the bottom club could only spend £100m and we could spend £500m. It means everybody is limited to £500m

Our annual wage bill is about £200m and we have recently spent £50m on agents fees per season, so that leaves us £250m to spend on players

That's seems more than enough seeing as Pep has spent on average about £150m per season since he's been at the club, but that doesn't even account for transfers out. Seems more than enough to keep us going as we are

I thought our annual wage bill was over £300 million?

Again, a lot will depend on what our actual wage bill is, & whether transfers, wages & agents fees are included.

This is yet another ill-thought through pile of shite by the PL, with little in terms of supporting detail, which the ramifications will have a huge impact based on our actual wage bill, and/or transfers, and/or agents fees.

None of this has yet been determined, & it's VERY interesting to see ManUre vote against it. Could this really be a signal of an end to hostilities between the Blues of Manchester & the Rags of Salford?
 
This thread has gone off track we need a separate one for this new rule :D

but as its already off track ill contribute further to the madness.

City's total wage bill for 2023/2024 season according to spotrac is around 220m. Assuming we sell players and buy players i don't see what the issue is if we have a cap of 500 mil? Assuming that the cap also includes all costs for other club related wages assume 100 mil for coaches staff etc then you still have 180 mil left over for our brown envelope payments :D...but in all seriousness can someone explain the negative of the cap other than the obvious one of dictating how a business can spend its own money (which i agree is madness)

All in an attempt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. Unless the problem is that the best run club in the history of English football has regularly won trophies for the last 10 years or so.

It’s weird with football.
Here we have a sport that is thriving, watched world wide and generating billions of pounds and we’re trying to restrict it.
People get their knickers in a twist saying ‘footballers are paid too much and it needs a salary cap’ but never bat an eyelid when a movie star is paid £50m for one movie.
The best boxers can earn £10m+ per fight.
Nothing is said.
They are slowly restricting and destroying their own brand because of this media narrative that’s been portrayed.
That you cannot compete with City because they’re ’state owned’ and it’s all about money.
When they should be asking why aren’t other clubs better run.
We are portrayed as everything that is wrong with football but you’ve only got to look at the two Manchester clubs, well one of them from Manchester ; )
One owner is investing hundreds of millions of pounds in their club and Manchester while the other is pumping hundreds of millions of pounds out of Manchester.
Yet we’re the bad guys.
No doubt 5 years down the line when the ‘brand’ isn’t what it once was the blame will be entirely layed at our door.
