Radamel Falcao Zarate

[MSP]

Jonjo, we'll there and will probably be in 4-5 years too.. not sure about you sunshine.

I know it hurts that isstry can't bring Falcao and such players but the fact is that even if it probably won't happen we still can talk about him while you were connected with Michael Owen month ago :=)

Here's one for you mate:)

I don't think there's a set of fans who have studied and understood FFPR more or better than ours.

Funny how City fans are talking about FFP, and wonder deeply about how on Earth will Chelsea be able to comply whereas City that has had one ''quiet'' summer is suddenly free to spend again? lol

Kids, FFP isn't some mambo jump easy stuff, it's not pre-school maths ffs, like I see certain people here, they cold bloodedly just sum and sum and sum transfer fees. Well, and very much unfortunately for you fellas, it's not that simple. I believe this article will truly rock your world - <a class="postlink" href="http://swissramble.blogspot.ch/2012/09/uefas-ffp-regulations-play-to-win.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://swissramble.blogspot.ch/2012/09/ ... o-win.html</a>

And don't forget...this article doesn't even counts the last day of this summer's transfer window when we all know who was the busiest ;)

I suggest you all come to reality, and switch your dreams from Falcao to dreams of if you'll still be in Champions League in 2,3 years time ;)

Cheers.

Great way to introduce yourself knobhead.

Spot on here, mate! The amount of people who talk about it over a pint with little to no knowledge on any of the finer details regarding the rules is astonishing. They hear "FFP" and make vast assumptions as to what it means.

Cheers mates, one question: Have you actually read the article?

Let me sum it up for you ;).....FFP Break Even Result for Manchester City: -142 million £.

You can kid yourselves as much as you want to, but either you start selling your star players and stop buying, or you won't see yourself in the CL in 2,3 years. Failure to qualify even for the knockout stages of this year's CL will hurt you even more.

I get the sense you're just here to wum, because you're talking utter bullshit.

Don't think you have read it or you have read it and don't understand it!

The only club that looks vulnerable is Manchester City, whose loss for FFP is still a frightening £142 million.

And who do you support, Bluemoon's newest troll? Jonjo... Shelvey = Liverpool? Liverpool who as it stands would struggle to comply with Financial Fair Play?

By the way, if PSG's proposed sponsorship deal with Qatar National Bank is approved by Platini's crew, I don't think any English club will have to worry about FFP again. We'll be able to sponsor Mancini's hair and double the Etihad deal.

I've been alerted to your presence and asked to educate you.

No one is arguing with the Swissramble blog but there's a few things that you clearly don't understand about FFP.

1) Last year's results don't count towards FFP, which is why the club deliberately made the loss as big as it could by getting some expenses out of the way that might have hampered us in the following years, which do count. So we got rid of about £30m in those accounts.

2) The first set of results that count are the next ones for the year to May 2012 but even then, they have to be added to next year's results before you can calculate your FFP result. So you can't look at just one year and say we'll fail.

3) The results for the previous financial year which should be out shortly will be considerably better than those as the 2011 results didn't include the new Etihad deal or the income from the CL. I'd expect us to see an income figure 50% better than the £153m we reported last year. We'll still show a fair sized loss but the trend is getting better every year. The results for this current financial year (to May 2013) will be even better still and could show us with either a small loss or breaking even.

4) As it says in the article, he believes we can write off £21m of allowable expenditure each year for FFP. It may well be more than that as we're spending a lot of money on the new training campus but we'll stick with that figure.

5) If we make an £85m loss this year and say a £25m loss next year, we'll have an aggregate loss for the first FFP assessment of £110m. We can knock £42m off that as per (3) giving an FFP-adjusted loss of £68m (or €85m at current exchange rates).

6) So that's a fail at first glance as the allowable limit is €50m but there's a rule that allows you to offset wages paid in the year to 2012 to players who signed their current contract before June 2010 and that will be about £45m (or €55m).

7) Bringing that into the equation gives us a final FFP-adjusted loss of €30m, which is well inside the maximum allowable loss of €50m.

So whatever happened in the year to 2011 is competely irrelevant.
