    To be honest i think there should be some sort of financial fair play rules in the premier league, but if they actually want to make things fair between all teams a wage cap would be required i think. The problem with that is, if only the Premier League introduced it the other leagues like la liga would become rediculously better than ours.

    I don't like to moan about City's spending anyway i figured there players must give a lot of money to the government in taxes, and the premier league finish last season was exciting even if it ended in heart break for us.

    Loving the irony of a City fan moaning about taxes. The club must have half a billion quids worth of tax credits by now...

    City are scared that without massive financial doping they will be shown up as the embarrassing pile of **** they really are.

    The sooner they are put in their place on and off the pitch the better.

    Have you got your 3rd T shirt? Well done.

    You do realise we didn't choke? You won it off us. Goal difference to a side that by most accounts should have walked it is not choking, we are average remember.

    Celebrate, stop being so ridiculously ****ing bitter you cock.

    Those Champ20ns t-shirts cost £25 and came with:
    Tickets for the Community shield......In the City end.
    Manchester United fans would also recieve a complimentary broken jaw.
    Now that is value for money.

    If a wage cap was introduced, city would be back as a second rate team as nobody would choose to play for them over United, chelsea, arsenal, liverpool and spurs

    Haha of course, any sort of financial cap would affect City more than any team.

    It's ironic that you are slagging United for using the Cayman Islands when City have distorted the markets that much that clubs have to take necessary measures to compete. There is more support for this than just United and it may grow legs, who knows, but if it does happen City can't blame anyone else.

    Are you implying that all the players who said they moved to City because it was an interesting "project" were actually enticed by the money on offer? Did Aguero not spend his teen years watching videos of Jamie Pollock and dreaming of being a Bitter?

    <ok>

    Prem FFP rules are idiotic to even the most thick.. some apart as they have been backing it, poor fkn fktards. It ewould do exactly as you said, push all the talent into other leagues.

    Wage cap is a must! It's all balls until the playing field is level. No point moaning about City when United Liverpool Arsenal and others have basically been the same to smaller clubs, its really pathetic of some (cough Cough - Swarbs) to keep going on about City cos they won the league when Chelsea are the biggest spenders, United amongst others have been in that position for years, a position to offer better conditions than the other teams but when it changes and others can offer far better terms its not fair.. those who cant see that need to wake up and smell the stupidity

    They don't pay their 24% corporation tax on their profits which gives them a hefty financial advantage over the clubs that honour theirs

    A common misconception. Utds assets are all in the UK, so they continue to pay UK tax on their profits (if we ever make any). Moving the parent company office to the Cayman Islands makes not a blind bit of difference - that's purely a way for the owners to keep their affairs more secret. Listing on the NYSE will increase our tax burden if anything:

    The only reason we haven't paid much corporation tax since about 2005 is the tax credits we have run up due to losses from the debt. Hardly a 'hefty financial advantage', particularly compared to City and Chelsea who don't make any profits and hence don't pay any tax at all.
