We have come through the sanctions, unfairly and probably unlawfully imposed, stronger and in better financial health. It could be argued that FFP has done us a favour in that our revenue streams have probably increased the way they have, because they have had to, to enable us to keep up. We are now one of the big boys. You only have to look at the saga of Pogba. A couple of years ago, if Barca wanted a player that we might have also wanted, he would very likely go to Barca. That is now different.
FFP for City I think is a thing of the past, our income and projected profitability now mean we can spend big money without worries, just like the rags or Barca and Madrid. The academy is the pride of the sporting world and will bear fruit very soon.
I for one hope to draw a line under the sand with a big FUCK YOU to Platini et all and say 'WE WON'

It's great that we have fast tracked revenue streams.
That's where it ends.
Everything else about it has worked and continues to serve the purpose they intended it to.
Legally, you can't stop the rich guy out bidding you... but these cunts did the best job I've ever seen on trying to make it illegal... and with a rule that has the word "fair" in it.
They knew it would only last about 5 years max.
Fucking genius

It was a cracking plan considering it was illegal and completely formulated to protect the cartel.
It's still exists right now when everyone knows it's illegal.
Hats off.

Fucking cheating cunts and even though we all know who this was aimed at, they continue the pretence.
David Gill heading up the board for fuck sake!

Even if ffp never effects us again, that one season where we tried to get in through the gate, & the subsequent season of sanction, has hugely improved the position of Arsenal, Utd & Chelsea, even Liverpool. Also rival clubs abroad such as Bayern have had two extra years of keeping us significantly behind them.
It could be argued PSG have also gained on us, by the fact of spending whatever the fuck they wanted, then only getting the same punishment as us.
How much would an advantage like that be worth, in the world of big business ? A bunch of rival companies get to handicap the biggest growing company & biggest threat, for a couple of years, whilst they try to get their shit together ?
