    City will get bigger and bigger. Self sustained with a great infrastructure.
    ManUr£'s debt will grow trying to compete.
    Now go and have a **** over your DiMaria photos

    Very! He seems unable to grasp the fact that City have the resources to outspend, outbuy his club and any other in the premiership. Only FFP slows them up.

    You have only to look at how far they've come in a short period to realise the potential there. Yes, they are parvenus, but give them a little more time!....

    Youve not thought that one through have you.

    Massive money making machine v club who cant fill their home stadium.

    Incase you havent noticed. Rules have been put in place to stop pesky little clubs like city. Clubs like United will benefit massively from its effects while others will be protected from dodgy owners.

    All in all footballs future is bright. Its not perfect by any means but its a positive step. Hell its even forced your slave owners to invest in the future somewhat (a shiny new acadamy doesn't mean anything until it produces something however) as they know you are not financially viable as things stand. You have to make your finances up ffs. You've been punished once yet continue to think uefa wont look over them <laugh>.

    Truth be told you will probably remain a top 6 club for the foreseeable.

    You say only ffp slows them down.

    Thats like having a 1000bhp nissan skyline gtr but someones taken the keys and all 4 wheels.

    Only ffp slows them down. <laugh> city are terrified of it. One more slip up with ffp and they are royally ****ed.

    You clearly have no concept of whats going on in football. You will never see city go on a massive spending spree again. They have doctored their accounts again to try and pass ffp yet still show a 27million loss.

    That doesn't even take into account ffp looks beyond one season. City are nowhere near compliance. Uefas punishments will get stronger and stronger as they continue to fail.

    All the while United could spend 150million a year quite comfortably. We wont obviously but should we need too, we can in any season.

    The kappa wearing Bertie will pipe up tomorrow about some gibberish, call me meth and might even be backed up by some chelsea chaps but not one will have anything to say on the matter at hand because they prefer theb3 monkeys stance.

    Ok

    And you clearly have no understanding of what's called "creative accounting" City have the resources to hire the best accounting and legal brains on the planet. Whatever UEFA throws at them, they will eventually find a way around it.

    Money talks - always has done, always will.

    Of course its creative accounting. And its not illegal either under normal circumstances.

    Uefa have already said, any attempts to circumvent their ffp rules will be punished. If they think they are trying to cheat the rules then uefa will punish the club.

    We are dealing with an entity that makes its own rules up. Not even europeam law can stop uefa doing as it pleases because uefa invite clubs to play in europe. Its not earned or won. You are invited under condition amd guess who sets those conditions.

    Thats the part you and city (amongst others) havent yet grasped. Citys futile court case will achieve nothing because when all is said and done, uefa reserve tye right to exclude any club or country from its competitions with or without reason. Every club agrees to these conditions.

    So city can be as creative as they like with their accounts. I personally like how they cant actually name hardly any of their commercial sponsors for one thing. And how their footballing staff have almost halved.

    Its as if they think if they undermine uefa then nothing will happen. Uefa are a set of brutal ****s who have no qualms about banning entire countries never mind clubs. City are nothing to them. They dont make them any money, they dont promote their brand, they dont have the footballing power to disturb uefa.

    Uefa are the only winner in a battle between them and city. Even though they don't need their support, they have it from the eu and european commission.

    Oh yeh thats a given.

    Not disputing uefa are corrupt as ****. Just that on this subject they hold every card and have zero chance of losing out. Its a case of their way or the highway.

    City will comply. They will reduce spending and ultimately drop off a little. A top 6 sids going forward, competitive in the title race. They will never dominate English football though.

    City have more fans in the Manchester area's due to the not in Europe teams fan base being in the home counties and India. <ok>

    City will break even very soon. Deny it all you want but you a are clueless about their finances. Just making **** up cos you can't face the trophy winning side you decided to support are slipping away.
    I don't have any clothes by kappa, but I guarantee you have a new ManUr£ shirt every year (currently with DiMaria and spunk stains on it)

  14. The difference between, on the one hand, Chavs & £ity and, on the other, any other club in the country (including the likes of United and Arsenal), is that the former can spend any amount of money without running the risk of ruining themselves and going the same way as Leeds United.

    Sure, United will probably spend £100 million in the next window, but they cannot afford to waste that money on a flop. £ity can, and they can keep spending until they find the right player, or outbid any other club for the right player.

    And do either Chavs or £ity give a flying **** about "fair play"? Of course they don't! If either of those clubs gave a toss about "fair play," Prem football wouldn't be in the **** that it current is.

    Break even. According to yourselves yes. According to uefa, not a chance.

    Youve already been told, along with psg, try and be clever and they will **** your club over.

    No they cant.

    Theres a reason city spent 38million this summer despite needing to spend more. They couldnt.

    If either club fancies a european cup then they will start to comply. Chelsea have been planning for it for years. Theu are run like your typical small club. Sell to buy.

    Its all they can do.

    United however. Weve nothing at all to worry about. As it should be. Well run clubs that promote youth and work towards a solid future for the game are always a good thing.

  17. Okay, perhaps the Russian no longer has the money to blow, but £ity most definitely do. I don't think you have a clue just how much those Arabs are worth.

    The only thing stopping them from spending £300 million each season is the fact that they have to, at the very least, be seen to be abiding by the spirit of "fair play," but be under absolutely no illusion that they'll spend every penny they think they can get away with.

    I'm telling you, United simply do not have any where near that kind of latitude.

    Oil has dropped in value big tome this year

    ££££ dont have as much cash to spend, as you think they do.

    Also if they were able to spend such a huge amount each year, the PL would do something about it, or the whole league would collapse

  20. No, it wouldn't. It would be exactly the way it is, now. Two clubs that can, to all intents and purposes, spend what the hell they need to get in any player they want, a middle tier of "big" clubs, and lower-tier of clubs that can pay their way (which is the majority of clubs), and handful that will struggle.

    The likes of £ity and Chavs spending whatever they feel like spending isn't going to change the way things are - for the very simple reason that that is the way they already are!
