For once you may be right City have over spent and probably will be fined a record £50 million which will not even hurt them.
It will hurt us because 20m euros will be deducted from us for the next 3 seasons. That will count against us in terms of FFP. It's load of shite. FFP exists apparently to stop clubs going into debt. City aren't anywhere near being in debt. We've invested £200m into a training complex which will enable us to develop our own players, which in turn should help the future of the national team, and we will be making a profit by next season.

Where was FFP when AC Milan were transformed from a Serie B team to one of the greatest European sides of all time? Where was it when Real Madrid embarked on their Galactico era? Where was it when Abramovich bought Chelsea?

FFP is designed to keep a cartel of prestigious European Clubs happy. That's it. It's a joke. I hope City and PSG take Uefa to court.
