I juist want to see if ffp bans any club, most likely man city from europe. If they don't get banned then theres no such thing as ffp and teams can spend £100m and lose £200m a year and comply lol.

Over the same period the cumulative outlay on wages was £390 million, meaning City were spending on salaries alone more than their income, of £365.3 million, although the club would point to the £61.6 million they spent on the regeneration of area of Manchester in which they are based.

So City actually made £30m as infrastructure figues aren't included for FFP.

chelsea had a better team than united between 2004-2006 when we were in transition and they were amply placed to fill the breach, very similar to this season with city being in the place that chelsea occupied. between 2007-2009 however we were infinitely better than chelsea.

Ole...are you stupid.

Chelsea had a much better team, utd had ronaldo.
That year you won in Moscow we scored more goals, conceded less, had the golden boot winner, played better football and were the better team.
You won the league yes but you were not even better let alone infinetely. Stupid.
And we were just the better team in moscow too.
only just but we were.
And that was with avram grant in charge.
If not for Fergie then utd would not of dominated.
Not because of added funds.

and ole...city have been much the better team in every position this year. Id even of had aguero over rooney. I said it!(dont kill me)

Ole is a doghelmet, ignore him or he'll give you a barrage of lies.

wrong on so many, many levels there i'm afraid. scored more goals? united scored eighty league goals that season and conceded just twenty two, chelsea scored an embarrassingly low sixty five and conceded twenty six. united also won two more matches, playing football fit for gods and with ronaldo walking the golden boot award with thirty one league goals. no chelsea player managed more than twelve league goals that campaign. moscow? united should have been out of sight before chelsea's fortuitous equaliser on the stroke of half time and giggs could have won it in extra time. as it happens it worked out even better in the end. there was no way a club like chelsea would ever be allowed to triumph over manchester united in a european cup final and fate knew it, terry slipped and we made it number three just as bayern will make it five a week on saturday. chelsea - the city of the south. classless, clueless, and you'll never be us.

much the better team after having heavily outspent us four years running, superior in every department and not a single one of their players breaking a finger nail from august till may, yet they've still been unable to amass a single point more than us from thirty seven matches? whatever you say.

there was no way a club like chelsea would ever be allowed to triumph over manchester united in a european cup final and fate knew it,

and you say were classless?
you think its a divine right to win things.
maybe i got my years mixed up.

But we bossed the final. And you know it, hitting the woodwork twice.

You think you deserve to win every competition your in just because youve entered it.

you ole are nothing like the utd fans I know who are proud of their clubs success and history.
You are classless.

yer ole they didnt have howard webb give them two pens at the bridge and countless other rubs of the green.

Swings and roundabouts?

united outplayed chelsea for forty five minutes in moscow, we should have been four up before chelsea bagged a very lucky equaliser. after that chances were few and far between, chelsea hit the woodwork twice and we had an effort cleared off the line. to suggest that chelsea bossed the game is utter nonsense and even more incorrect than the lies you told in your original post about you scoring more goals than us that season.

Complete garbage

united were the better team for 45 minutes. we were for 75. do the maths.
four up? dont make me laugh.

like i said i got my seasons mixed.
You are classless. Would rather win a cup on a penalty shootout.

howard webb?

the league game at stamford bridge this season? the one where cahill should have been sent off in the first five minutes for scything down welbeck when he was the last man? had webb made the correct decision there we'd have won that game at a canter and have two extra points right now which would have won us the league. swings and roundabouts indeed.

Finally a ref gave us a penalty against chelsea at stamford bridge, I suppose you are use to not getting anything given against u as valencia was rugby tackled in the 09-10 season in box nothing given rooney 5 yds onside given as offside clean through next game chelsea score a 3 yd offside goal.

Anyway getting 2 penalties in that game webb favoured chelsea, he bottled sending off a chelsea defender when wellbeck was clean through so he gave nothing then ashley young was jumped on in box gave nothing again I believe still 0-0. It could have been 2-0 up and how rubbish you were at defense who knows we could have got a cricket score.

in 2006/07 we scored nineteen more league goals more than you and in 2008-09 we scored one more league goal than you and finished two places higher. you seem to be very mixed up indeed.

haha you lot are funny.
After all the success you still seem so bitter and angry about everything. About teams coming remotely close to you financially.
unbelievable.

Champions league final my take, carrick smashed a shot that cech was just about there but if the goalkeeper was slightly in a worse position it would have gone in, tevez also should have scored but cech again i believe clawed it out. However chelsea had not even gone created anything then last minute of the half I believe essien smashed a shot from 30 yds defelected a few times van der saar slipped ferdinand as well I believe and lampard scored.

Anyway funny thing about the final was chelsea first shot that hit the bar was from 30yds out as well as the 2nd time it was more closer and we had a goal cleared off the line.

'remotely close'? have you seen the net spend of the two clubs since 2006?

genius,

IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE WITH ?

SKY & THE PREMIERSHIP HAVE TURNED epl INTO A GLOBAL BUSINESS AND LEAGUE.

which is attracting billionaire owners who are able to invest huge sums to promote and build there clubs/ businesses.

Todays fan bases are global, teams like utd, afc, lvpfc & cfc have larger international fans bases than they have home fan bases.

In any other business no one would complain if a major corperation came to the uk and invested a billion pounds into a company, aslong as all the relivant taxes are being paid no one would bat an eye lid, they more than likely would be praised.

The likes of you are in another world , you ignor the fact that the game has changed , old school 1st division football is long gone.

Im not suggesting that this is good or right im just pointing out that this where we are today.

Finanacial Fair Play !

LOOK if youve got sixty thousand seater stadium youve got a chance of competeing with europes top sides, but if havent and your just comming up from lower leagues , the financial fair play rule wont be doing you much good trying to compete withe sides which have this type of arena.

CLUBS RUNNING WITHIN A VIABLE BUSINESS PLAN ie running within an budget which is generated from the clubs income.

This will only work if everyone is doing this, ie spain stop giving tax breaks to there top sides Barec & real, and the premership clubs patrons also follow suit.

finaly players wages, global wage cap !

But is this enforcable under the fair trade ?

Lastly i am a cfc supporter and i concerned about the way my club is being run, not many people share my concerns, but i do believe our move to Battersea may well be the catilist for the club to be operated within its own means.

Finally a ref gave us a penalty against chelsea at stamford bridge, I suppose you are use to not getting anything given against u as valencia was rugby tackled in the 09-10 season in box nothing given rooney 5 yds onside given as offside clean through next game chelsea score a 3 yd offside goal.

When it comes to the United vs Chelsea games, both our fanbases have a habit of being extremely selective. If decisions had been clean, we'd have had a legitimate chance at winning that CL QF match last year - Ramires scissored in the box by Evra + Hernandez goal was offside ...... we win that, we likely beat Schalke, Carlo probably keeps his job, and history radically changes. Being objective, we've both had some right touches over the past 4 years with our fixtures. Only clean match i can remember was the 2-1 PL win for you lot at OT last year.

I don't remember much from that game besides the disappointment. But i do remember at least one of those penalties being debateable (to put it mildly).

The game at SB this year, not the final in Moscow
