I would add; Spurs are below Burnley in the league. Sheikh Mansour's fault I suppose

Of course it’s his fault. But for his filthy petrodollars Spurs would have won on Saturday. That would have taken them above Burnley on points. Therefore it is Sheikh Mansour’s fault.

I don't see it that way, whilst City are well run it does not stop FFP being open to abuse. We have shown a great way to run a business and now more then ever I think people are beginning to see how well run and financially secure we are. It also shows how the same as any business there is normally a period of investment needed to gain your market share. It makes a mockary of our fine and FFP in general. A comment I loved at the time and would love to see on a loop if we where to win a CL, in time football will show which is the right appoarch. We knew what we where doing from the start.

A team like Liverpool, Arsenal could invest and get round the regulations, there established and UEFA would give a dispensation the same as AC Milan got. They could also without that and different owners sign a some sponsors, never forget PSG have £100 million a year from Qatar for helping promote tourism approved from UEFA (back-dated). It would be hard to see how something similar would not be allowed for these clubs.

Forget the fact for years we have defended that we have not got round FFP but complied, whilst true it does not mean FFP cannot be got around if you wish.

Plus now we're on the inside pi$$ing out, we don't want to be like the others! If Newcastle get the investment and want to invest in new players etc. it's a viable business model and one I would have no issue with.

BUT, AC Milan got fucked off by UEFA because of worries over the ability of the club to be able to repay the loans levied against the club when purchased.

However UEFA did bring in the waiver rule to help clubs with new owners, but I doubt they had Arab or Chinese owners in mind when they agreed to this.

Milan were so far up UEFA's arse, the club had a brown ring around its neck. It's a bit odd it's changed now the club has Chinese owners....

UEFA rejects AC Milan plea to waive FFP rules
By Reuters

MILAN, Dec 15 (Reuters) - European soccer's governing body UEFA has rejected a request by AC Milan to waive the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, citing uncertainties in the Italian soccer club's financial situation, it said on Friday.

Under UEFA regulations, any European soccer club that spends more than its generated revenue faces possible sanctions, including, in certain circumstances, a ban from playing.

However, a club can ask for a waiver to the FFP under a so-called 'voluntary agreement' scheme.

Milan had asked UEFA to be able to exercise its right to waive the FFP rules after Chinese entrepreneur Li Yonghong bought the club from Italian holding company Fininvest.

"There are still uncertainties in relation to the financing of the loans to be paid back in October 2018 and the financial guarantees provided by the main shareholder," UEFA said in a statement.

"AC Milan will continue to be subject to the ongoing monitoring process and the situation will be assessed again in the first months of 2018," it added. (Reporting by Francesca Landini and Elvira Pollina; Editing by Philip Pullella and Ken Ferris)

Do you mean without Sheikh Mansour's diesel, Burnley wouldn't have been able to get to their game by the team bus. Hence it's Sheikh Mansour's fault? :-)
