OTT Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 So Dzeko, Aguero, Negredo and Jovetic aren't enough ? Thats, ?27m, ?38m, ?16.4m + add ons and ?22m Totaling ?103.4m at least. I used to think that the Man City fans deserved this, y'know being in Man Utds shadow for so long they deserve a bit of success, but this is ******* disgusting and the spit in the face to financial fairplay is also beyond embarrassing for Fifa. Absolutely disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. http://m.bbc.co.uk/s...football/gossip Personally, i don't think he will ever leave Barca. I preferred the gossip pages when phone hacking was the in thing ... now it's just stabbing in the dark and posturing by agents wanting to get their players better contracts at their current clubs and rags posting anything they find on fag packets e-cigarette packets.

Ibrahim Tall Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 FFP will never work anyway, UEFA have basically admitted as much not banning the likes of City and PSG from Europe despite failing to live up to the rules. That's the only "sanction" they have that would be a detterant, what's the point in giving someone with limitless cash a fine? And they won't do that because they're terrified that losing the big teams/players affected will damage the prestige and tv revenue of the CL.

Tasavallan Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Fined for this? http://news.sky.com/...r-breaching-ffp Manchester City have been fined ?50m after breaching Uefa's Financial Fair Play regulations, according to Sky sources. And there will be limits on their squad size in next season's Champions League. Sky sources understand the fine will be payable over three years and the team will have to freeze their Champions League spending. Additionally, they will only be able to enter a 21-man squad in the Champions League (instead of 25). City are contesting the penalty - full confirmation of the fine and conditions imposed is expected by the end of the week or early next. Only affects them in the CL. Not sure how it applies to the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennywise Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 When does it end? Once the billionares get bored? Or the fans get fed up of inflated prices. What if Sky & BT pull out?
