Makes you realise how much fairer the EPL's model of TV revenue distribution is compared to La Liga.

 

[Magma]

was trying to work out the point of it until your line at the bottom.

the tv revenue distribution model is one of the things the premier league does very well.

 

[Redalert]

Absolutely agree, one of the few equalisation measures the Premier League actually adopts.

Charity is the better word.

Charity is what Real Madrid are given by the Spanish government.

How much did you guys flog your training ground for again?

So a bank loan and sale of assets was involved in a business deal? That's so unprecedented, must be illegal

Keep playing dumb.

Keep playing dumb.

Keep supporting your Limited Company and don't worry about a real sporting club.

He is not playing.

By adopting a fairer method of TV distribution, clubs have a harder time competing against Spanish clubs (for example).

UEFA not too bothered about that though.

City offering Boyata a new contract. Must really be feeling the effects of FFP for that to occur. Not surprisingly there was little interest for his services elsewhere.

Good call. City and Chelsea are really feeling the pinch.

 

[moomba]

What does signing Boyata have to do with FFP?

Are we?

And yet we keep spending money when we could be recalling.

Home-grown player requirement for the CL? It could come into play given the squad size restrictions that Man City face. You have to admit that it's the only reason he got another contract, he's not exactly a top quality player.

 

[moomba]

I'd imagine the fact he is club trained is exactly the reason he's got an extension. But that would be the case whether we were operating under squad restrictions or not. If anything, the talk from the media is that we'll have a decreased requirement for club trained players under the restrictions.

Despite typeclubs wet dreams, the pinch we are feeling from FFP has so far resultd in the loss of no players, and business as usual.

malaga were banned from europe for not paying their taxes. will the same happen to barca?

 

[Zidane98]

Looks like Etihad have been getting creative with their accounting:

Very suspect. No repayments to be made until 2027 and no interest payable. Consistently denied government support for the airline and now this. Loans in the airline industry are supposed to be declared so carriers do not get an unfair advantage. Who's to say similar things aren't happening elsewhere in the Abu Dhabi royal family business empire (including man city).

I suppose one could say that 3 billion dollars is a long term investment that will be repaid back in 2035. No wonder UEFA are on to them about FFP if this is how they operate their businesses.

I highly doubt you would have resigned Boyata without FFP and future requirements for club trained players. Can't find any info on future requirements but club trained players will always be a requirement. Same reason why you'll hang on to Micah Richards rather than sell. No interest from anyone else in the EPL and very little interest in general at the top level. You'll be paying him for the next two seasons and he'll most likely play the occasional league cup match here and there.

I also predict that you won't be able to buy who you want because of the voluntary cap City have agreed on in the transfer market to ensure you comply with FFP.

 

[Magma]

are we allowed to respond or will we be criticised about discussing ffp?

 

[Zidane98]

you won't here any complaints from me about discussing ffp.

 

[Magma]

well, as usual, it's just a bunch of what if's and could be's in an attempt to link any little thing to try and bust us.
