Re: Frank Lampard (staying until end of season confirmed P11
It certainly takes a special kind of **** to think this a FFP dodge. I've pointed out to Tony Attwood that if City wanted to use Lampard to dodge FFP then surely a far more lucrative way would've been for City rather than NYCFC to sign him on a free last summer then flog him to NYCFC for £10 million at the end of this season.

I want to finish however with a different complaint.
I have mentioned before about how Man City appear to have found a loophole within FFP by having Lampard bought by the club their owners control (New York FC) and then loaned to Man City.
Mourinho was asked about this and said: “Lampard? They can bring any player from New York FC. They can bring anyone and nobody will stop them. ”
OK, it wasn’t as strong as I would put it, but the man has spoken out again, and that must be applauded. Let’s hope Uefa will note Fifa’s ability to stand up to Barcelona over child trafficking, and will themselves have no difficulty in standing up to Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
This stuff is kind of hilarious. Lampard was a free agent and so any club that offered Frank the right wages / opportunity could have signed him for free. The only way there would be any sort of FFP dodge is if NYC have agreed to pay him a signing on fee; we are paying his current wages.
