wasn't there an EPL ruling earlier this week that sponsorship or something like that could be used to supplement wages? will that be used to bypass FFP?

They already stated the objections to Man City's commercial deal. Irrespective of whether they can get away with it, be proud that the club chooses not to cheat the rules in order to win. The feeling of winning will be all the sweeter if/when it happens. If Dubai International or whatever their name was had taken over, we'd likely be in a great position. As it stands, just accept that there is no quick fix, and analyse and discuss the problem in front of the club...


This is what I said regarding the stadium. A Sugar Daddy can build a huge stadium quickly for us, FFP or not,instead of flip flapping on the issue. We'll see if City can get away with their commercial deal. What I said was an answer to your statement about the end of Sugar Daddies in football, but now your are talking about pride and sweetness. I wonder if Chelsea or City fans are not proud to have won the EPL because they feel they bought it. On the other hand, would you be very proud to see the owners taking huge funds from the club like the Gladzers are doing both in dividends and interests?

There is a quick fix but not with FSG, let's hope there is at least a fix some day, rather sooner than very later. The longer it takes the harder it would be.

Think the committee thing could work, even if only to prevent overspending. The fact that they've decided to go this route tells me that FSG has learned from past mistakes, are willing to correct it, and that they take transfer dealings very seriously which is a good thing. Besides, when we look how this strategy has worked out in the January transfer window we cant really complain can we?

And the committee is also managing the team? I don't know how this is working but what happens if BR wants a player for his game and the committee says no, he can always say that results are poor because he is working under constraints. Non of the big managers are working like that I am sure (Fergie, Jose, Mancini, Wenger etc), it's working better for then isn't it?

Of course SP and it can only be like that, but the final say should go to the manager and within the budget. I said it, I don't know how the committee is working, if it there to help the manager who calls the shot, then no issues.
