As FatSam said, they will just manipulate income from sponsorships which will just be money from The Sheik passed through companies he has an interest in. Real Madrid will do the same with sponsorship from the local authorities. That will be a tough one for Platini to stop.

The figures speak for themselves mate. The club is unsustainable as a viable business.

The sums involved may be peanuts for the owners and the clubs may be "playthings for the rich", but it shouldnt be allowed to happen as its destroying the game. The sooner any new financial rules are imposed and strongly enforced so they live within their means the better. It hasnt been and wont ever be a level playing field, but having financial guidelines will at least give clubs a chance of competing.


No offence and all that but fucking hell, welcome to the football World that has been festering away since about 1992!
You reckon Platini, UEFA, FIFA, Uncle Tom Cobley and all are going to take on Mansour and all the other billionaire football club owners when it actually comes down to taking them to court to prevent them from taking part in the Champions League?
Will they bollocks, they can't afford it and they know it, it's all hot air.

It's the wages that will kill them and I do hope that is soon.

£2.6m a week. Mind boggling numbers.

It wont surprise anyone to find that Man City's CFO was in Geneva presenting these figures to UEFA yesterday. UEFA have given themselves the right to exempt any club from the rules on a case by case basis.

The case being when the owners of said club have more money than UEFA?

"Victoria Kloss, Man City's chief communications officer, was meeting Uefa officials in Geneva yesterday to discuss the financial report and explain the nature of Mansour's investment". I'm sure the UEFA officials told her how upset they are with Sheik Mansor's investment plan.

I would like to see tax relief on these losses to be refused and instead taxes  levied on the turnover figure only.
