Pretty sure the FFP rules are being imposed to prevent lower league teams going bust, or preventing a Portsmouth style situation. The top (rich) teams are always going to find ways of getting round it and spunking millions on transfers and wages.

@timpayton: Manchester City claiming new sponsorship contract value (Abu Dhabi in house) worth £400m over ten years. And I'm Theo Walcott. RIP FFP
I swear I remember reading at the time that there would be safeguards against "mates' rates".

FFP is supposed to be put in place to stop all clubs from spending beyond their means.Originally Posted by Champagne Charlie
However Citeh did say a while back that they were confident they could get round the rules so they could continue their spending.
It really does suck balls tbh.
This was always the catch. I fully expected this to happen.
I hope this is not BS:

Appears UEFA will be scrutinising this deal. Looking at it logically, if UEFA let it go, it will set a precedent and every shitehawk billionaire who wants a toy club will be able to do what he likes. Life will start to imitate Pro Evo, FM rather than vice-versa...

Well, one of three things is going to happen.
(1) UEFA will not be able to find anything that is against their rules, and City will get away with it. As a consequence, every other "big" club, plus Spurs and QPR, will look to copy this. Arsenal will once again play King Canute.
(2) UEFA will find something wrong in private but not announce anything. Instead they will change their rules to allow scenario 1 to occur.
(3) UEFA will find something wrong, grow a "pair" and kick City out of any UEFA sanctioned tournaments.
[N.B. I have listed the three scenarios in order of most likely occurrence.]
While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.
Might still be 3 because citeh are not a UEFA darling club like Barca. They can show how big they are by kicking citeh (a PL club at that) to set the example without directly hitting their favourite clubs.
You might be right as England are not the darlings of Europe.

Who gives a damn anyways, rule is so fukking stupid. Run your club how ever the fuck you wanna run it.
