Who promptly gave it back, yes.
Not sure that's exactly circumnavigating FFP like City (and the likes of PSG) do, but haven't really considered Real tbh.
City do it though, 100%. The idea of FFP is utter bollocks.
Fair play to them. It's a terrible, anti competitive, set of rules made brought in after pressure from the Yank owners of the big clubs who were terrified of competition and wanted to lock in the big clubs eternally.
I can't think of any other industry where business owners aren't allowed to invest their own money.
They should just bin it off and make owners accountable for every penny spent above income on a contract by contract basis.
