Not one shred of evidence to suggest City backed ffp anywhere at any time. They have reserved the right to take legal action as well.
Absolutely the plan has been to break even & become self sufficient, but that's got fuck all to do with ffp, it's just that nobody in their right mind would want to keep spending 100 mil per year on a football club, when it's perfectly capable of financing itself long term.
They opposed the Premier League version as it is more restrictive and, more importantly, removed the option of spending as they wished and just being restricted for a while in UEFA competitions. They certainly have made no such noises about the UEFA version other than when they felt they were being treated unfairly by the sanctions under it. Is perfectly possible to back one but not the other if you see one as ultimately being in your favour but not the other.
I'm not clear whether you are accusing me of lying with my quotes, or Khaldoon of lying when he clearly said he disagrees with UEFA & you thnk he didn't.
Once again part of a quote from Khaldoon: '. these rules and regulations which have been put in place, which have a particular model in mind, in that they preserve other models that I disagree with '.
He is taliking about FFP preserving OTHER business models, which he disagrees with. This after saying how he disagrees with their punishement of OUR business model
Clearly, that refers to the likes of rags etc who can pile on debt, & continue to be helped by FFP & us being punished. WHAT ELSE CAN IT MEAN ??
Seeing as you, me & pretty much everyone on here, every City fan, plus Martin Samuel, even down to Richard Keys & Andy Gray ALL know that the purpose of FFP is to keep the likes of Utd in their position, & stitching clubs like us up, & that Khaldoon says he disagrees with it, HOW THE FUCK CAN ANYONE, ANYWHERE INTERPRET THAT AS CITY AGREEING WITH FFP ?
The answer is; they can't & won't. ONLY YOU CAN.
If they see it as fundementally wrong, then they don't fucking agree with it. Anyone can see that.

This kind of thing invites the kind of response you were complaining about a while back & is not in response to any inslult I've made. All I've done is honestly quote what the chairman has said & it doesn't fit in with your argument hence this comment. You have decided to try & belittle me, in order to add weight to your argument, because it has no substance.
