We've all read about these new rules which are set to come in. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the affect this will have on Man City? Will they have to start selling players / lowering the wage bill, or will there be some sort of cut off point?

Why would they need to sell players? -
All that will happen is that mansour will "sponsor" something at the club for a massive amount of money and get it in to the club that way*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Just because it's called Financial fair play, don't be fooled into thinking it's fair mate. There's no salary cap, or budget cap in place. City will carry on doing what they've been doing.Originally posted by kris90210 View PostTrey Nyoni: countdown to stardom-2 years1year0.5 yearsComment

I thought they already did that with the Eithad Airlines dealOriginally posted by Alex View PostComment

City can just build a "Super Deluxe VIP lounge" and Mansour can hire it for £150M a year.BlankComment

Sheikh can just buy those side boards for ads for £100M a year and that's legitimate financial fair play.
Having said that there are other clubs that will suffer cos of this rule if the owners don't inject money into clubs with the kind of deals mentioned above.
Personally, I like the Bundesliga where each team is supposed to submit their budget constraints before the season starts and explain how they won't be going into the red. It will be reviewed again during the Jan window tooPatience when teased often, transforms into rageComment

To cut the wage bill in order to meet new European rules.Originally posted by Craig_H View PostOh I don't know.Comment

The wage bill cannot be more than your turnover or something to that effect. This will effect BOTH Man City & Chelski...Originally posted by dom9 View PostThanks for the memories Rafa - YNWA!Comment

They'll get around it easily enough, via bonuses. No need to sell players IMO.Originally posted by dom9 View PostComment

What if the City owner managed to generate enough operating profit to make these signings and pay these wages and so get round the rules.
I mean, what if City were suddenly awarded some massive massive sponsorship deals eminating from...oooh lets say the United Arab Emirates area ?Comment

Indeed.Comment

Interesting Arsenal blog on the UEFA CL regs relating to finance. Seems to suggest most teams are pissing in the wind. For most of course, the prospect of European football anytime soon is a pipe dream....

The financial fair play rules, when they come in, only permit the injection of £38m per year (except for investment into infrastructure such a stadia). The rest has to come out of revenue generated from normal football activities. Sponsorship deals will be examined to ensure that they are representitive of market price.
Teams have two or three years to reach compliance. By the time we get there, Man City will have a formidable squad and revenue plus £38m will all that will be needed to maintain it. Though I could see them having to reign in their salaries at some point.
No doubt someone will manage to find some creative financial loophole.
You can go read the rules on the UEFA website here:
UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations Edition 2010 (PDF)
The main part of the document is mostly principles and fluff. The meat of it is in the appendices.

And if they are... it's ok ?, so if they have plenty of 'market value/price' sponsorship deals as i suggested..eminating from the UAE area...they could pheasibly spend a pretty penny or two and get around the rules somewhat.Originally posted by IJM View PostComment
