http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/dec/03/manchester-city-financial-results Now Chelsea and City have both met FFP, make more money than Arsenal, and are both better-run clubs, what false God will Arsenal fans worship now? Maybe Roman will get bored, or done for war crimes in Crimea....
The annual accounts show Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi, who bought City in 2008, has invested £1.15bn over six years. Lots of money for an empty stadium
Always great atmosphere at the Etihad when I've been there, much better than Old T. If you had ever gone north of Surrey you would not mock their fans But to be fair, United do get higher TV ratings than City across the pond: that's what really matters to you telly clappers
Better run than Arsenal - not a prayer. You may get away with it on FFP, but your success is bought, just like City.
It's easy to meet FFP if you were mega rich before hand. All you do is buy lots of players and then when FFP kicks in, you sell a couple for £20m a season and a few more for £5m-£10m and make yourself £60m in transfer sales. Then you can go and invest that money back into a couple of other new players and some more young players and continue the same thing. Chelsea did it with their 20+ youth players scattered across Europe on loan and City have started doing it.
City are vg. Saints and Arsenal good. But yes, you are ****. Let's hope Emperor Abramovich can build us a 65k Stadium. That would be a great legacy. The Jose Mourinho Arena! Maybe he could name stands after Yeltsin and Putin.
Well i think we all know thats bullshit. They dont make any money, nobody watches them, their experiences in the Champions league make them believe there is nothing beyond the group stage, they cant sell anyone as nobody wants to pay wages and their global attraction is on a par with wycombe wanderers. So yeh. Bullshit they have met ffp without some seriously illegal accounting going on. As for roman. I suggest you google mathew syeds interview on sky sports news. Sums up your owner in a matter of minutes. Citys too. In short, the absolute scum of the earth and have done nothing positive for the game.
