Barclays Premier League 2013/14

Oh so its fine for everyone else to do it but when i do i do the same its not allowed?

How good is Sterling though?!?! Just breezed past the City players all day long. Surely a starter for England in the WC?

Loving the hate Everton are getting at the minute regarding our loans and where we are in the league Not necessarily fans of other teams, the media themselves. Daily Mail have done about 4/5 negative articles on us in the past week it's hilarious haha.

That's awesome.

He's awesome. I'd start him on the left and use Lallana on the right.

Rooney in the AM role and Sturridge up front and that's one hell of an attacking line. Chances of that happening against Italy are unlikely though. He'll probably start Lambert up front instead and play it long all game.

City haven't "broken FFP rules". The article doesn't say this at all.
I've been saying this for years but this next few months are going to be insufferable with the bollocks printed.
City have done exactly what they planned to do all along. City will initially "fail" FFP. Then they will use the June '10 wage exclusions amongst others to "pass" FFP. Nobody should be surprised about this, it's what they planned to do. You cannot use that wage exclusion or some other exclusions unless you initially "fail" FFP.
Unfortunately this means that the papers get to write the "CITY FAIL FFP" headline they've been creaming themselves over for 4 years.
We will technically fail when they do their initial calculations. Then use UEFA's exclusions to pass with no sanctions.
If you want a primer on next month's headlines, the one they'll all be furiously wanking over then will be "UEFA CONFIRM INVESTIGATION OF RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION BY CITY". People will sort of wink-nudge that this is the Etihad deal and it isn't. City will be investigated for a RPT as they legally declared a RPT in their accounts and it means UEFA have to look into it by their own rules. The Etihad deal was not reported and by the UEFA definition (which is essentially the worldwide definition), is not a related party transaction so won't see any adjustments made.
The press are going to be horrific for the next two months and I'll have to explain this four hundred million times.

Aren't they still investigating that not at all suspicious £400m+ Etihad 'sponsorship deal'?

I know it mentions it in the article, but assuming that came back as not adhering to standards then any talk of 'wage exclusions' is secondary.

City have lawyers on their books who "created" FFP, so I am 100% confident they'll be fine. They know the loopholes etc if needed

How?
