Of course they will get away with it, Eden Hazard is testament to that.

FFP is a joke, the criminal Etihad deal is proof of that. All City have to do is prove they are investing in the community, and show UEFA a 'trend' (< key word) towards breaking even by 2014-15. Even if the losses have not been sufficiently staunched.

That still doesnt answer my question. You have been going on and on about the Etihad Deal. But They still showed losses of 130m while we shoed losses of 67m.

And if FFP is a joke, I am sure Chelsea can work around it just as City. You talk about Etihad deal everywhere but the Fact is You have a rats ass knowledge about what that deal is and why it didnt reduce their losses substantially.

Again, Kindly Explain HOW THEY INCURRED LOSSES OF 130m INSPITE OF THE ETIHAD DEAL?

And If they can buy, Hazard, We are buying Hulk

Hazard is a superior player, the most sought after in world football. We can't compete with City financially, that's why we're after Hulk.

The money from the criminal Etihad deal has been invested in development programs, stadium infrastructure and 'community projects', which is exempt from FFP calculations. The 'eventual' financial benefits of such an investment can be used to offset the club's wage spend. Thus, they will not be penalised for the face value of these losses long-term, giving them the financial upper hand over us, and everyone else in the league.

Sources have confirmed that Rasmussen (UEFA's FFP manager) was told not to address questions on individual clubs and specifically not to answer any question on whether City's £400m, 10-year sponsorship deal with Etihad is 'legal' or not under FFP rules. Some critics of City's owner, Sheik Mansour, who is spending vast sums on the team and a range of regeneration and community projects, argue Etihad is a 'related party' and the £400m was inflated above a market rate deal to help City meet the FFP strictures.

We paid 50m for Torres and you say we cant compete. Surely we cannot spend 100m on transfers but Hulk is not exactly an inferior player. He has played in Europa League and has been a goal scoring Winger Striker. a Bit like Ronaldo'esque.

So it IS EXEMPT from FFP Calculations. Thank You. I dont care about the "Eventual" benefits. Eventual could be 10 years later.

Really, everyone will copy them with the Etihad deal. We'll soon be sponsored by Sibneft or Gazprom or something.

The Qatar Foundation deal Barcelona have is a far bigger crime than the Etihad deal. Remember how Pep Guardiola was supportive of the Qatar 2022 bid? I imagine they bribed him, promised him huge sums in sponsor money if he spoke in favour of them. And it robbed us the chance of having a decent World Cup, Qatar 2022 will be an unmitigated disaster.

You should also send Schalke a Nazi Flag, being Hitler's favourite club. If we are going to be wankers we may as well do it properly.

Everyone is so panicked, fuck Manchester City. There I said it, fuck them, fuck them, fuck them, fuck ManCity. They may be able to outspend Chelsea but Chelsea can outspend then other 18 teams.

I for one would love our shirt sponsor to say 'Russian Mafia'. How badass would that be? The haters would not know how to react.
