City restrictions to be lifted:
Manchester City will see their spending restrictions lifted by UEFA bosses after turning a transfer profit this summer.
The Citizens, who spent their entire cap of £49.9m bringing in the likes of Fernando, Eliaquim Mangala and Willy Caballero, were still able to balance their books in style.
Valencia agreed to pay the Premier League champions a £2m loan fee for striker Alvaro Negredo on deadline day, with a cast-iron guarantee of a further £23m to complete the purchase.
City will also pick up around £4.8m in total for a similar arrangement they struck with Fiorentina for defender Micah Richards. They were also able to sell young Welsh midfielder Emyr Hughes to Wigan for £3.5m.
It means City, who had previously sold Jack Rodwell, Gareth Barry and Javi Garcia for a combined £25m, will actually show a player trading profit of £9m.
UEFA chiefs slapped a two-year spending cap on the Manchester outfit for breaching their Financial Fair Play rules but with the promise the second year would be lifted if they toed the line.
Then remember this from City's response to the sanctions, when people didn't understand what it meant as it conflicted with UEFA's version ?
"The nature of conditions that will result in the lifting of sanctions means that the club expects to be operating without sanction or restriction at the commencement of the 2015-16 season."
Looks like the transfer restrictions will be over next summer. What a job the Spaffia have done, again.

If we can't, we will be in a very very strong position to go up another level again next season.

I wonder if any thought was given to holding back the sales of players such as Nastasic, Guidetti, Sinclair etc. until January, when transfer fees are notoriously further inflated ??
On that basis, an ambitious but underperforming club might, at that stage, be desperate for a defender and could be prepared to stump up a sum approaching £20 million, or so, for Nastasic, which would be gratifyingly nice. What would be even nicer would be if it was someone such as Whinger or, 'mirabile dictu' The Scum !!....but that's probably pushing credibility too far.

I think it's just a case of nobody wants to pay for them, just loan deals, & in Nasti's case he refused to go. Guidetti still trying to fix a loan deal at celtic.

No idea. But let's say if I found one of her in an awesome bathing suit or sucking her thumb I might visit it. She's peachy.
Related, how crap is Kate Upton? Sorry Craig.

I find her annoying. I would give her a polite but sturdy grudgefuck just to let her know that tho.

but if all we needed to do was comply with the restrictions, why did we need to leave ourselves with 2.5 strikers? we didn't need to show a "profit" at all. we could have kept negredo - or spent money on his replacement - and still been in full compliance.

My understanding of how the restrictions will be lifted is if we show a profit when we publish our accounts, rather than showing a profit on transfers (though the latter obviously helps the former). We may not even need to show a profit if we're within UEFA's acceptable loss figure (although I expect us to be in profit).
The only thing that caught us out last time was UEFA changing the goal posts at the last minute - we were within their unaltered regulations but of course they made a 'City' revision especially for us.

Can't see that it's just a case of complying with the restrictions & we get the limit lifted. That would mean that if we spent more than 50 mil, the only penalty would have been to have the ban stay in place next season, so why not just ignore it ?
That would be a one year transfer limit not a two year one.

The second year is suspended if we get ourselves back within their revised regulations when we publish our figures. I'm pretty sure this was mentioned in the announcements somewhere. Where's Socrates when we need him?
