The only way to get around Platini's anti-City stance

What I don't get is how Platini got this job. It's fair to say, players are not the brightest bunch (Dr Onuoha excluded). It's like having someone whos worked the tills manage Tesco.

He's still bitter after Heysel obv
Please calm yourselves. It won't be happening how ever much the scruffy French person may want it to happen. He is an attention seeker and a hater but he's no threat. Which part of "restraint of trade" does he not understand? No wonder UEFA are shite at everything. We are being run by clowns.

i'd imagine the bulk of what we'd want to spend would be spent by then, and if we are in the champs league by then our wages would probably be sustainable *without* tinkering. the better we do, the better our turnover. we've got a good long time to sort all this.
in other words, given that we're building according to a plan, i'm sure by 2012 the club will be running smoothly from a financial perspective and our turnover would likely be enough to justify the occasional big signing (at least on a par with what romey could muster)....
so i don't think this will necessarily hurt us at all, in the unlikely event anything actually happens.

Not true. They have the support of the EU on this one (unlike the limits on foreigners rule) so it is more likely to be legally enforceable. The income genrated by Sportscity will not be allowed.

But it's the judiciary that would make that decision, not the bureaucrats. Hiding to nothing.

Ok, first of all, this is old news.

Platini warning over City spending
February 18, 2009
MICHEL Platini today warned "the values that football represents are in danger" in a veiled dig at City.
And told the European parliament in Brussels that UEFA are considering enforcing a cap on the expenditure of clubs.
The UEFA president has been an outspoken critic of the frivolous spending by Europe's elite clubs - much of which is based on borrowed credit or the personal spending of wealthy benefactors - and insists it is the clubs themselves who have requested the move.
"European clubs are currently telling us that our system is in danger of financially imploding in the medium term," the 53-year-old former France captain said.
"In consultation with them, but also, I should remind you, spurred on by the reports of this parliament, we are currently looking at the idea of limiting, to a certain degree, a club's expenditure on staff - salary and transfer fees combined - to an as yet undecided percentage of its direct and indirect sporting revenue."
Platini hinted discussions over a salary cap were accelerated by one club's "astronomical bids" during the January transfer window. It is believed he was referring to Manchester City, who are owned by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Investment Group, and their bid for AC Milan's Kaka.
City tabled a reported bid of £90m for the Brazilian, offering wages in excess of £250,000 per week but the playmaker opted to stay at the San Siro.
"During this year's festive season, one club which had suddenly become very rich made various astronomical bids in the transfer market," Platini added.
"Of course, there was a tremendous outcry in the football family, people called it outrageous and scandalous.
"Is it morally acceptable to offer such sums of money for a single player? Many people have responded by talking about limiting players' wages by introducing a European salary cap."
Platini stressed the even likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United - two of the world's leading clubs - are not immune to the global economic downturn and regulation must be put into force.
He added: "For the past 15 or 20 years, we have grown tired of hearing that there is no need to regulate, that the market regulates itself perfectly, that excesses and imbalances will disappear of their own accord, and that the growth of income in football is an endless upward spiral.
"We now know that none of this is true: that in football as in the economy in general, the market is incapable of correcting its own excesses, and it was not the UEFA president who said so, it was (United States president) Barack Obama."
Platini stressed this was "only the beginning of the discussion" and any legislation limiting spending would only come into force "on a consensual basis and with a view to strengthening this system".
And the former Juventus playmaker pleaded with the European parliament to help UEFA in its bid to make football more financially stable despite labour laws which currently promote free trade.
"Whatever happens, please do not stop us, on the basis of inappropriate legislation, from establishing financial fair play," he added.
"Do not stop us from putting in place mechanisms that foster the integrity of our competitions and more transparency in the management of our affairs.
"Do not stop us from acting morally. Especially when all the stakeholders - clubs, players and national associations - agree with my proposals for greater financial transparency and better governance."
And second of all, here is proof that he's a stupid double standard mongering twat and you're right, he's gunning for us, but I don't think the Uefa as a whole are

MICHEL Platini has risked the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson by refusing to criticise Real Madrid's attempts to lure Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.
It is another blow to United's hopes of holding on to the double footballer of the year, with UEFA president Platini insisting the Spanish side's actions were "normal".
United have already had an official complaint against Real rejected by FIFA and now Platini claims Madrid's public wooing of Ronaldo is part and parcel of the game.
"Every club in the world would like to have Ronaldo," he said. "It's part of the system we have today. Players move from club to club and I can understand why Real Madrid want him.
"They had Di Stefano and Puskas in the past, and as Ronaldo is considered one of the best or the best player in the world it's normal.
If the club has the finances they can do it so, if they don't have the money they can't."
WTF? Which confederacy of dunces appointed this muppet? He can't even be arsed to disguise his anti EPL baggage. The man couldn't manage a chip shop.
That is all.
