This. City don't have an unlimited budget anymore.
we'd like to think so, but apparently not in cities case anyway.
From what my bro tells me (admittedly he's a scouse lovin idiot) City will get around the FFP rules by substantially regenerating the area around their stadium, building a theme park, casino's, cinemas etc etc and claiming the turnovers as all part of the shitty FC entity.
I'm fairly sure that income from non-football related business entities cannot count in their P&L.
They'll get around the rules by paying 300 Million a year for advertising Abu Dhabi in the stadium.
Well your brother needs to listen and keep up. UEFA closed that loophole and non-football income will not count. Clubs will have their books scrutinized and I doubt there will be any loopholes.
Clubs will always find a loop hole. Unfortunately people... It's way Real Madrid can be broke and still spend millions year on year out.
Why do you say Real Madrid are broke? They are a very profitable club.
So are we but we still maintain a debt.
They have always spent more than they can afford.
It is very profitable to sell your training facilities to your supports and let it back to yourself for nothing
.There planning this but 2015 is the earliest time they plan to get these things in place. Even then it will depend on the economic climate at the time.
It's all irrelevant because non-football related revenues will not count in the UEFA regulations.
Depends how that's defined, surely?
Doesn't it mean income from businesses other than the football club? i.e. cash pumped in by a sugar-daddy?
What if a Sheikh buys a club, creates a company which then signs a £100M deal with said club and has their name printed on their shirts. "Commercial revenue"?
Too easy to be true, I know.. so where am I going wrong here?

Can't be done, if it's significantly above market value then it doesn't count.
There will be rules in place to prevent clubs from doing that, they will however find a different way. I wonder if buying a satellite club and paying silly money to take redundant players off the main club to make a prorit would ever work.
It all depends on penalties though. If they are under threat of not being able to compete in Europe, then they might follow the rules, but without such threat they will just carry on spendint and pay all the fines UEFA throw at them.
I'm pretty sure no one is allowed to own two clubs currently
Ahhhh the old FM trick, genius.

That defence really is utter wank.
i think they can if they are in a different confederation.
I.E. owning a team in uefa(europe) and say owning a club in south america or the middle-east.

What's so funny about that? Looks like a pretty strong team to me.
mancini would never play a side like that.
More than likely.
Switch Nasri to the left wing and Barry in for Balotelli and that'd probably be closer to what he'd play.
True but there is a clause in the rules that state a club can include revenue from “Operations based at, or in close proximity to, a club’s stadium and training facilities such as a hotel, restaurant, conference centre, business premises (for rental), health-care centre, other sports teams”. As long as there associated with the club.
After all many teams already have all these type of facilities in place as an important revenue stream. UEFA would not of got away with taking that away from teams.
Was always going to City
Are we trusting the Daily Mail reports then?

I don't get it :/
As simple as that?
What interest are we meant to have shown bar tabloid talk?
All United based interest is from the press and no where else. In my eyes he was always going to City, interest from us has been drummed up.
So how do you know if we're interested in a player. Did Fergie really talk about Young or Jones before the deals?
Or Anderson, Nani, Hernandez, Smalling?
I don't where he is going, but if all the press are consistently reporting that we're interested, than that means we probably are.
We virtually never talk about players before we buy them, I cannot recall a single situation when Ferguson would openly admit he's interested in someone particular.
If Nasri wants money, and he does, he's going to sign for City, if he wants trophies he will sign for us.

De Gea hadn't signed on the dotted line before Ferguson openly said we had identified him as our new Number 1. I agree with what you say though, we keep it stchum for good reason.
To be fair he has a better chance at trophies at City than at Arsenal and Wenger would probably rather he joint City, due to the inevitable fan backlash at losing one of your best players to a rival.
It seems the done thing, to talk about how money is not a priority, before signing for city.
I'm pretty sure, and said this a million times whilst many of you were shitting it about the De Gea deal, there is NO fecking way SAF came out with that about De Gea if some kind of pre-contract hadn't already been signed.
So in my eyes, he had already signed on a dotted line of sorts!
