UEFA: City have exited FFP settlement regime

[Helmet Cole]

Gill is already busy enough sorting out the refs that will favour the rags in the Europa Semi & Final.

Gill probably had a hand in changing the CL seeding system once it didn't favour the rags. Shame they have not managed to benefit by actually qualifying for the competition :-)

David Gill is no doubt plotting something as we type.

Just had a word with ITK who is sure they found out from a reliable source that new CL qualifications will be:- qualifying teams must
Finish 10th or higher in the EPL.
Have at least 75%of their fan base outside the UK.
Must have won at least 1 European cup previously (old cup winners cup doesn't count).
And finally must be nominated by the relevant Referees and Linesman Association.

Does this mean that the special financial scrutiny is now ended or did that happen some time ago ?

Wonder if actually get money back or if we just paid the 20m and now we comply don't have to fork out the 40m ?

That's our original Sanchez money back that allowed Arsenal a free run to buy him.

Now use it to buy him.

Oh the irony!

Buying Sanchez off Arsenal, one of the FFP cartel, with our FFP fine money. :-)

How is fine money accounted for ?
Does it affect the accounts regarding profitability because it has to come from somewhere ?

We put the £16m mandatory part of the fine through the accounts when it was levied and paid. So there's no other impact on the bottom line.

Are the domestic FFP rules still a thing? I seem to remember the EPL introducing their own thing to suit arse,rags,spuds and dippers once it became clear we'd not be destroyed by uefa. Once again it didn't involve debt levels iirc - what a surprise!
