Man City never had to deal with FFP, FMV, PSR etc during their growth, we do. These rules especially FMV and associated party rules were brought in when we were taken over designed purely to prevent our growth and wow are they working. As long as rules of a clear cartel remain in place it doesn’t matter how smart business people are their commercial activities will be shackled. There is only one solution…..attempt to get the restrictions removed and if they are I’m by no means advocating unrestricted spending.

Even before all this ‘fucking nonsense’ we won zip……..it was still Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal etc cleaning up, why because they were rich in comparison to other clubs. Unless the club gets off it’s arse and does something about it we’ll continue to win fuck all despite having wealthy owners.

So much for fair fucking play………..and some on here don’t think legal challenges should be made!! System is completely rigged in favour of the so called elite. Coefficients have always been a scam.

Until there’s a legal challenge against FFP/FMV/PSR or whatever the fuck they want to call it we will never compete at that level or the PL for that matter. Get used to it, the elite clubs won’t change the rules, why would they?

Exactly……..it’s about self interest, we should be threatening legal action over anti competitive rules and practises.

Ten PL clubs quick to resort to legal action re payments to the EFL protecting their interests yet we fuck around and let them get away with FMV etc. Clubs include Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool. So much for altruism and protecting other clubs. https://x.com/mailsport/status/1767612700916355168?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ

This was interesting from the same bloke. https://x.com/mikeygow/status/1767305259066479018?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ

This might help explain some of the potential punishments of UEFA PSR https://x.com/mikeygow/status/1767305199213826352?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ

I’m at the point where I’ve resigned myself to us being a top half also ran club, the only positive is the chances of relegation have been significantly reduced.

Everyone saying 19 clubs voted for this…..the media usually name any dissenting voices to the new rules, nothing anywhere or when a meeting of the PL when said vote took place. Unless the club are keeping their powder dry we’ll be what we are now, a mid table side, if people are happy with that then so be it but deep down I just have a feeling the club are working on something that allows us to compete, a new stadium would be a start.

I keep on saying this but the only way is to legally challenge these financial rules under competition law.

If the club has voted for this then they must see some advantages in it for us, especially if FMV rules are relaxed.

When? Was there a PL meeting?

Was there a PL shareholders meeting? They’re usually well publicised and who votes for what?

We know what the detail will be, owners not allowed to invest, FMV strangling revenue streams like sponsorship and associated party deals very strictly monitored. Unless the club has a very clever strategy to circumvent this shit or prepared to act legally we’ll be nothing more than a top 6-10 club well into the future.

Never asked for a look??‍♂️

All if’s, if my aunty had a knob she’d be my uncle!

With regard to the Arena site, I do know that there are NDA’s in place. I’m not saying that any new stadium will be built there mind, we’ll have to wait and see.

That is not the issue though, the issue is are the rules against competition law and that’s what needs testing in a tribunal. Whether clubs sign up season after season has nothing to do with it. All it would take is one really pissed off club to instigate action……City’s nuclear option if things don’t go well.

If you want to play in the PL you have to, Hobsons Choice. Doesn’t mean that FFP,FMV aren’t against UK Competition Law, that has to be determined and if they are they’ll be swept aside.

You don’t have to prove it’s fair or not, you have to prove that it’s anti competitive and breaches UK Competition Law.

I’m sure the legals would be able to rip up the PSR/FMV/FFP rules apart to…….time will tell.

Leicester City, Imteresting, not being a lawyer not sure what it means, looks like they won their case. One of the comments to the tweet pointed out how easy it was for the legals to rip the rules apart…..who knows?‍♂️ https://x.com/nickdemarco_/status/1766396152725819692?s=61&t=Yt8DTJJ-7Jh_ndgpdGSFKQ
