FFP agreed for Premier League

The overall wages paid out by the Blues in the Champions League-winning year ending June 2012 actually fell by £18million to £171million - compared to Manchester City who saw their wages break through the £200million barrier.

My bad

It dropped 18m last year

 

you were talking between 2005 and now, isn't?

 

Yeah, made a mistake ^^

 

fair enough

 

Our new deals with Audi and Gazprom kick in this year; we will get close to breaking even despite our early CL exit. Winning CL is worth up to 100m over three seasons in extra revenue too

 

and extra 33m per year will not make up for the players/wages you need to compete for the title.

 

fans getting moist over ffp, that's what's wrong with footy!

 

No its sugar daddies inflating the market and killing it for the normal fan.

 

but in what way are you the normal fan? you're self admittedly not from Manchester and don't go to games therefore it doesn't hurt you financially. Maybe if you supported your local team I'd see where you're coming from.

 

Its irreverent where a fan comes from, its more like you are jealous that UTD can command huge support, and the Chelsea/££££ struggle to fill there stadium.
It has hurt me, as I cant afford to go to game now, so the normal fan is priced out the game and all thats left is the boring rich prawn munching fan.

but the best thing is both Chelsea/££££ will fall back to there true mid table level, as they cant command the income of UTD.

Happy days

 

well they have FFP for UEFA too, which will need to break even soon
so they are squeezed from 2 sides now

 

what is wrong with football is when people don't like FFP
it will make competition a more fair one, and will stop clubs collapsing and the market inflated

 

So yeah shwan.

Why did our wages go down 18m last year?

 

Selling club

 

You have great banter man, very witty.

 

I do my best

 

Chelsea............ offer Champions League footaball?

They are trying damn hard to prove you wrong

 

Thing is, we don't struggle to sell out, not quite sure where that's come from.

It has a lot to do with where you're from, you chose to support United and not your local team therefore you cannot moan about their ticket prices. I'm sure you'd said before you'd only been twice anyway.

Also, why would I be jealous of United's huge support? it doesn't affect my life or my team in any way shape or form. Just means you have more hunters with a red shirt around the world. We both sell out our away games and a club's hardcore fans are the ones who travel away every week.

A lot of you like to flatter yourselves with the opinion everyone is either obsessed or jealous, like I've said countless times in the past - I have no problem with United or it's REAL fans.

 

are you aware that we're in 3rd place UIR?

 

Hence trying hard rather than doing a god job of proving him wrong.
