    Financial fair play my arse.

    And so it begins.
    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...tihad-air.html

    TL:DR

    City have sold off stadium naming rights to... themselves.

    Won't cover there horrific year on year loses mind, but this in it's self should be a test in whether FFP has any teeth.


    Beyond that, we're fucked, doomed, Wenger needs to go, we need a sugar daddy etc etc etc

    I guess we'll see if the sponsorship deal miraculously brings them in line with the minimum requirements for the FFP rules, it wouldn't be a shock, would it?

    it was always going to be the way, dont think teams like them were going to let something like fair play stand in their way

    And they probably didnt need an army of lawyers, weve seen the way business gets done, when Qatar got the WC!

    What did people expect exactly? Stuff like this was always going to happen people who thought any different must have been the ones saying Chelsea wil be f*cked when Abrahmovic leaves, hasn't left yet and doesn't appear to have any intention to.
