But in the context of the overall investment in "the project", it's a relatively minor inconvenience.
People might worry that carrying all this dead wood on vastly inflated salaries would damage our Financial Fair Play balancing act, and on the face of it they would be right. But if we don't meet the FFP break-even requirement, UEFA will look at future projections, where we can show how the books will look once we have got rid of our dead wood.
FFP rules state wages of Premier League players signed before June 2010 will not need to be taken into account but those from the August 2010 and January 2011 transfer windows will. The players mentioned will not count towards any expenditure total in regard to us meeting FFP.
There are a couple of key provisos in that though. One is that the trend of financial results has to be positive (2012/13 has to be better than 2011/12) and the other is that the wages of those players must be the only thing stopping a club meeting the break-even requirements.Vegas said:Chippy_boy said:For City though, none of these players sitting on their arses running down their contracts is much of a problem.
