Person no fit spend money buy player outside profit they make?

No be business soccer be?

Money to get money ni na

You can borrow from banks with a caveat like Madrid does a lot meaning that you will have to return the money from income but what the soccer bodies donot want is cash flow that is not sustainable. That is tantamount to buying success.

I swear
& to think this club is one of the best in EPL
The only team capable of ending Liverpool wining streak. I respect man city. I don't know why this is happening to them.

I don't pity them at all, from all indications, they know they are wrong, how can you be doing business and you are running at a loss and you are makimg it look like your business is doing fine so that your village people no go laff you.

Its not fair on other clubs, and its a serious and sanctionable offense under UEFA FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY RULES.

I dont see this ban being overturned by CAS.

So that it will serve as a lesson to other clubs.

Mind you, PSG owned and run by same owners will also be investigated and I am 90% sure that they are also guilty.

Life is currently hard for all Man City fans please encourage them and bless them with a hug.

Save a soul

Hmmm

Typical naija mentality,
Juventus was stripped and religated to Serie B for breaking Italian league rules , are the owners of Juventus Arabs. SMH

juve fixed matches,city didn't...so its not worth the point deduction. Highest is been ban from uefa competition. Dey ban Madrid,they no deduct point

EngrMarve:
Hard time, but they were hard men before now!

Imagine Manchester city VS Derby County in championship

abi against Wrexham in league 2 where they are proposing to send the club to

The issues at stake are simple: don't spend beyond your revenues. If fair play in finances are not observed, in effect rich clubs can buy titles because they will get the best players.
Arsene Wenger fought for this and stubbornly refused to pay for trophies. This vindicates him.

The first part is absolutely correct but the second is not. It does not vindicate Wenger because a successful business will certainly rely on credit at some point and sports is no exception.

The biggest clubs borrow massively to invest which Arsenal does not. Arsenal relies entirely on income alone for running the club while other big clubs such as Real, Barcelona, United, Liverpool borrow to invest and in growing their brand through success are able to payback. FIFA, UEFA and the FA have no issues with that.

The challenge is always with the new era clubs and came to the fore in the Roman Abrahamovic era when massive unsustainable amounts were pumped into Chelsea to gain success.

The soccer bodies were worried that a bubble was growing that could destroy the entire league and so financial fair play rules were made.

What I am saying is that even before the advent of the American billionaires, Russian oligarchs and Arab petro dollars, clubs have been spending way beyond their cash earnings only that these were regulated by financial markets which are stricter than even the soccer bodies.

Arsenal does not spend, simple and it reflects in their performances. Dangote will not be building a refinery today if he depended on earnings from cement and sugar to do it. All businesses require leverage to make rapid progress and sports is an ultra competitive business.

Buying success..

That's what Madrid and psg and barca always does..

Yet they're not touched

caprini1:
Madrid has never ran short of sponsors income,infact sponsor fight over themselves to pump money to Real Madrid,and in Spain,they dont joke with revenues,why you see high profile players like Ronaldo and Messi almost sent to jail for tax default.

Are you saying city doesn't have enough sponsorship?

amen thanks bro

NeoWanZaeed:
This is too much..

Madrid psg and barca nko..

Its sure they broke these rules too

Barca and Madrid are on another level,so don't compare them to teams without any record or history

Is it as bad as that?

CyberWolf:

Yes they broke EPL rules too by their financial dealings, the whole story is on goaldotcom website, I can't drop link here.

I guess Arsene Wenger is paying them back

Abeg Who Manchester city offend?

Liverpool see them as threat and I know they want to do anything for there down fall

The word Bubble is what many Nigerians need to learn before they will know what UEFA is trying to avoid.

CyberWolf:
Even though EPL is part of UEFA and both under FIFA, they have different rules just like other country like La Liga and Seria A. That’s why transfer window is still open wirhing La Liga but closed in EPF. Each have their own rule even though they are both under UEFA.

oga, the financial fair play thing is what was agreed by all clubs under uefa. That man city is given a ban, gives the epl a bad image should they n0t give capital punishment. Cos it's what was agreed as a collective uni0n. It's like a criminal c0mmiting a crime abroad only for his country to demand he be sent back h0me. While h0me, he is then declared free.

ashantitope:

and this means what? Liverpool didn't ask city to go against the rules, did they? When u lot i.e chelsea, man city were buying the league, u all were m0cking us with the You will never win anything banter. Now, u are c0ming up with c0nspiracy theories that we are happy with man city's plight. Of course we are. They went against the rules and karma hit them hard.

it will not be given. watch and see. Gerard time haff pass...

My thought and prayers with Man City at these trying time. Biko accept my condolence

For those saying the punishment is too much, come to think of it: will Man. City be that dominant if not breaking the FFP rules? Do you know it costs so much to assemble that their first and second team? PSG should also watch out...

You're making sense

I have explained my position. Madrid and Barcelona are not in the same category as City or PSG. The big spanish clubs literally have a seat at the board meetings of some of the biggest European banks. It has been so for decades long before the american, russian and arabian billionaires came to England.

The big difference is this. These billionaire investors put money into the clubs in a random, open ended, unaccountable agreements and in most cases donot demand it back. The lack of transprency is dangerous as it can involve money laudering and round tripping.

Credit on the other hands is always based on financial records. No bank will give you money without audited accounts and transparent repayment plans. Bank money does not stay in clubs. It is paid back with operating income.

That is why if you observe closely the big spanish clubs donot spend massively every year. They may buy big one season and it takes them one or two seasons to recover and spend big again whereas these billionaire owner clubs spend big every single season. Barcelone right now is in a financial difficuty, Madrid could not afford their key choices last season.

Fair play means living according to your means. Let your success be organic.

Haha so Liverpool will be winning 2 EPL titles....i can't fit laugh

JimohMomoh:

Indeed.
I could remeber a time that Spanish Laliga clubs complained that Barcelona and Real were getting easy credit from banks leading to the finacial muscle that made a duopoly of the league and demanded that the Spanish FA give them credit guarantees to enable them secure funds themselves but the FA baulked at the idea because it could easily cause a bubble.

They instead decided to alter the revenue sharing system from tv rights if memory served me right. Previously clubs themselves negotiated with tv companies for right to screen matches and naturally most of the money went to the big two unlike what applies in England where the PFA negotiates on behalf of clubs and shares the proceeds according to an agreed but substantially fairer formula.

Football is big business and the massive amounts involved will always attract underhand activities by those who seek an unfair advantage.

This is not making sense anymore joor... The champions league ban is enough punishment... And additional punishment should only affect the present and the next one or two years... The past should be left that way. Look at how they are even treating the whistle blower sef... He's in jail... This life sha
