Salty reactions from other fans and the media

[Northernstorirs]

This **** really needs to be sued

He is a bitter tw*t

 

[meeesh]

I've just watched the early evening news on both BBC and ITV, and likewise, the regional equivalents.

Fuck. The bitterness OOZING was a joy to behold, particularly the ITV news one.

Delicious

Poor old Lucy Meacock looked like she’d farted and followed through,hope she did to be fair.

MacKenna and Herbert, for just two, simply unable to control the bitterness and disgust oozing from every pore of their being. I guess the Whats App group meeting must have been a new level of saltiness. I hope City nail these wankers once and for all. To openly accuse City of bribing CAS to get off is a new low.
Funniest Tweet thread I read was one post by a Rag who posted that themselves, the Candle burners, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester had all won the PL " the right way". Then fans of each of those different clubs each piled in to disagree "Chelsea and Blackburn ? They're as bad as City"....cue the response from Chelsea and Blackburn fans giving it back to the Rags and on and on, then onto Liverpool and Leicester failing FFP....nearly wet myself laughing as they each went for each other.
Kudos to Sheffield United, West Ham, Newcastle and Everton for not bowing to the rush to condemn us as guilty when the PL cartel tried to influence everyone.

As an Everton fan I can say im quite happy you won.

Yes it means you can spend £200 mill again and pull further away from us but to me thats always happened in football. From the first million pound player, to Jack Walker at Blackburn breaking the british transfer record twice. Chelsea inflated the market, then you did and also Liverpool with Andy Carroll to a certain extent

There will always be a small number of richer clubs in football, but the issue is with the likes of Real, Bayern, Utd etc is that before it was a few clubs, now Chelsea, City and PSG have joined and that equals more competition for players and trophies - challenging the domination.

I believe there has to be some financial rules in place to help the sport be competitive but these current rules are a shambles and not the way to go about it.

It appears to be fans of Liverpool and Utd who are most vocal in their upset - think it stems from them hoping that you were going to be docked points next season

It doesn’t mean we can spend £200m if our profits aren’t above that.

We’ve been found Not Guilty of disguising equity funding as sponsorship contributions. That’s all.

There seems to able two big incorrect notions across both mainstream and social media today that:
1. We are guilty but have got away with it;
2. We’ve taken UEFA to court over FFP and we’ve won so it’ll now be scrapped.

Neither of them are true!

we have to look after every penny at manchester city ? but in the past 2 season have done some great business in sponsorship and new kit deals and shares sold, add back to back titles and league cups , FA cups , champions league football , it start to add up nicely then we have £50 million or so from sane being sold so city could easy blow £200 million and be fine with any FFP rules

Thank you, the point I was trying to make. You have got to the point where you could easily spend that and not come close to FFP, through trophies, sponsorships and sales like the recent Sane one (no doubt followed by a few fringe players).

I think you are spot on

My issue with the whole of FFP is that it takes no account of debt- its supposed to be about clubs as businesses being run well - we have no debt and are profitable whereas the interest loans on someone like Utd's debt is astronomical and they slip further and further into debt depsite being the most profitable club in the world (or at least one of the two).

I think you are right - there should be some sort of spending cap - but then again is that even legal? Free trade etc. and how do you judge who is allowed to spend what and then how do you take into account disasterous injuries to squads etc.

Exactly. It appears to be as long as you are servicing the massive debt its ok. But who is closer to going under should there be a world financial disaster - Man U. Plus didnt Real and Barca get accused of receiving state financial aid a few years back from the Spanish Government? Suddenly its all forgotten about. The Juve and Barca recent swap deal showed that the valuations and the way the deal was agreed basically give both clubs a £60mill (roughly) FFP boost - again how is that ok?

FFP needs to go but what comes in after, god knows. Maybe a limit on the number of signings? Maybe a wage cap? An Americal model where you can have 3 MVP's? Honestly I wouldnt know where to start as the sport has gotten way to powerful to even try such things.

If you think it’s bad now, wait until next year, this was all over the Ethiad sponsorship which ends next year, just think what will happen when our next stadium sponsor drops a billion on us for naming rights.

There's something about the Dream Academy in Ghana and a Danish club and whether our understandings with them breach rules about youth recruitment and third party ownership, but it's hardly going to enter the realms of points deductions, trophies withdrawn or CAS tribunals.

I suspect UEFA would not have the appetite to have their arses handed back to them again

Simon Stone desperately trying to find negatives on 5Live at the moment.

Just been listening to them - Sutton is a bitter twat - Stone is trying to steer the correct side of the line but still throw out enough snide suggestions - there is only Chappers trying to correct the record - then again he probably has a producer wailing in his ears for him to be careful what he says.

Their pain is my joy.
