    So QPR get promoted by sticking two fingers up at FFP, whereas Derby who played by the rules will be playing us next season. Whatever fine QPR get will probably be a fraction of what they will make by getting promoted. With debts of around £178m it's still possible that 'Arry will take them down the same path as Portsmouth, although that's not as likely as it would have been if they had stayed in the Championship with a transfer embargo.

    Disgusting PSG, City and QPR succeeding by breaking the FFP and the reaction by UEFA.... only way clubs will listen isn't a fine but is a points deduction or possibly even a ban from Europe until they sort themselves out.

    Imagine if city had got a 3 point deduction for breaking it? Liverpool champions. Until transfer embargo's, point deductions and competition exclusion happens teams will continue to break the FFP

    Make £130m by breaking the rules, fined £50m, who says crime doesn't pay.

    The thing is that the only way to put a stop to it is to introduce salary caps but I think the PL & Football League think this will not get past the EU..... restriction of trade and all that.

    Can you please explain the difference.

    Sheikh Mansour has invested £1 billion in Manchester City Football Club and in East Manchester.

    Malcolm Glazer borrowed £550mill to buy Manchester United and put that debt onto the club, which was debt free. Manchester United still owe £350mill of the original debt and have already payed out more than £750mill in repayment and interest charges, and on-going. 10% of Manchester United was sold on the NYSE to help service the debt. Manchester United are now registered in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes. Malcolm Glazer and his Sons have been taking money out of Manchester United Football Club.(allegedly) David Gill was the CEO of Manchester United when all this was happening.(he now works for UEFA and is still on the Board of Directors at Manchester United)

    Can you please tell us which club failed FFP?

    Well, City.
    United have in all fairness been unfair and broken it, but they have found a loop hole.. it's like tax evaders.
    City though don't seem to care about money in the slightest and will willy nilly throw money at their problems.

    Thing is, now that the FFP has been implimented, united have failed, City have won breaking and rules and get hardly any punishment
