You tell us, you top the spending charts and spend vast sums on corporate lawyers to get you off FFP sanctions!

Don't think you really thought that comment through, did you!

I did think it through, that's why I asked the question.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

No you didn't!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What makes you think that? You've just spent £250m more than us in a single window.

How much?

I think:-

1. You need to go back and do your maths!

2. You need to research how FFP works!


That said, I don't believe your owners should need to justify how much of their own money, they spend.

FFP is a flawed tool that just looks after the interests of the so called super elite!

City have done it once in their existence and now singing about it. FFP is done over multiple years.
City have the highest net spend along with utd over the last 10 years.

I'll take that as an admission that you don't understand how FFP works then (which was my point 2).

Do yourself a favour and spend some time on Google and educate yourself and also find out how Chelsea comply with FFP!

Well done for city this year, some good business. although apparently some huge agent fees were attached to the haaland deal. Not sure how that isn't declared.

But I don't think city fans are really in a place to talk about FFP

City's dodgy sponsonship deals also seem to be propping them up:

Look, who is arguing. Two money laundering clubs who sold million players between them arguing about who spent most

No arguing here. Although chelsea have done really well for 10 years or so now will being self sustainable i'm under no illusions that we didn't spend big with Roman's money.

Not sure what point Boris is on here trying to prove tbh

I do understand it, what I don't understand is why it's only applied to certain clubs.

City 'overspent' 11 years ago mainly because some of the rules were inacted retrospectively after the clubs accounts had been submitted.

The punishment was served and no further action will be taken despite the best efforts of Arsenal and their fellow conspirators.

You obviously don't or you wouldn't be questioning Chelsea's spending!

Regardless of what they've spent I never take teams with a ground capacity of less than 45k seriously.

thats not the point though. Brummie wasn't the one who said a stadium capacity determined whether a team is taken seriously.

As a side issue boasting about how financially doped you are isn't a great look.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
45k fans who get to watch their side win trophies

Not winning anything isn't a great look either
