Twatini is going to target City - simple as that - the elite clubs dont want us there and will push hard to enforce them if they can
I am expecting things to get very very messy.
I do agree with this statement very strongly. Ultimately Platini will do anything possible to undermine our progress. As I understand, and somebody please correct me it this is wrong that UEFA have stated the FFFP rules can be changed or altered at any time to match any criteria which they choose.
In other words they will move the goal posts if it seems we are breaking even, or working towards meeting Financial Fair Play rules.
To remember this though. FFFP only counts towards the Champs league. Winning the Premiership means more to me personally, whilst the Champions League is fantastic, and winning it would be amazing I wouldn't break my heart if we were excluded. Platinin cannot stop the club from spending, he cannot affect what we do in the Premiership.
1.4Billion people watched the Derby reportedly. Should we go on to have continued success and attract a huge global fan base would Platini really want to exclude us? His flagship competition would be seriously undermined in my view.
With the good work the club are doing building the Academy, the work going into the community and jobs the owners will eventually get recognisition.
FFP will be seen for what is it. A vehicle Platini is driving to keep City down.
This exactly,....Premier for me every time.They will never ever enforce the rules anyway but as you say I wouldn't be arsed being excluded.Lets hope our lawyers are better than theirs!
