Another one who doesnt get it. What the fack has spent before FFP came into to play to with FFP?

You've both been set straight by Melton, yet here you are, thinking you are the dogs ballocks

I didn’t say City’s spend before FFP had anything to do with after FFP. I refuted somethingelse’s claim about City’s spending, particularly since the Sheikh threw his cash about.

Yet again you’ve jumped in halfway through a conversation and made yourself look a right knobhead.

Nobody is going to get banned from anything as long as the owners have enough political clout in the Middle East to threaten UEFA with severe consequences.

American, Russian, Thai and Chinese owners accused of doing the same thing will have the book thrown at them.

The Chinese hold more sway than the Arabs.

Luckily a Chinese firm owns 13% of City

in 2011, Man City posted the biggest loss ever in football history £197m

In that year their wages alone (£174m) exceeded their entire revenue (£153m) by £21m.

So a club, with a revenue of circa £150m made a loss of nearly £200m


Funnily enough they then sign a sponsorship deal later that year which was the largest deal of its kind in sport......which is what you'd expect from a club that , who before winning the FA Cup that year hadn't actually won anything major in over 40 years.

We've all known whats happened at City. All their success should have an * next to it. * Won through financial doping. The biggest surprise is that its taken so long to exact some justice. 2 year ban does not go far enough IMO.

Potential here also for an EPL punishment. Theri FFP states that clubs cannot make a loss in excess of £105m across the 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. Any club that posts losses in excess of that figure could face severe penalties, including a points deduction. If City have been misreporting their break-even then should they be found guilty (on appeal) they could also be caught up with the an EPL punishment
