http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27198306Looks like their punishments will amount to a slap on the wrist followed by a cuddle and a packet of fruit pastilles so they don't feel too bad about it. I'm not saying they should automatically be banned from European competitions, but they've deliberately ignored/broken the rules and won't really suffer any meaningful consequences. Under FFP, losses are limited to £37m (45m euros) over the past two years. City posted combined losses of almost £149m for the past two seasons - £97m in 2012 and £51.6m in 2013.

Made me wonder what a league table of the most profitable clubs in the country would look like. Has such a thing been done? Man City would be bottom of League Two, which would be crowded with Prem clubs, along with a few toxic ex's like Bolton and Birmingham. Would Arsenal win the Prem? Who would be the surprise clubs at that level? And how far down the leagues would you have to look before reaching break-even? Are there even 20 profitable clubs to fill the Prem?

But FFP won't touch teams with 'historic debts', like Barcelona & Real Madrid with debts in excess of 500m, who have had the benefit of excess spending for the last 20 years or so, or Man U with big debts due to the Glazers leveraging their buyout on the clubs assets.

I'm sure that their wage bill is about double what ours was last season.
And they paid over a million in compensation to get Howe back from Burnley.

That's mahoosive. The last time I checked, their owner was 'lending' the money with rather a high interest rate.

Their turnover was just over £5m, so they 'lost' 3 times as much as their turnover.
And don't forget they paid £1.5m to host Real Madrid in a friendly.

All a load of fucking nonsense really. I believe I made quite a few points about this at the time of us losing our backer, manager, star player etc etc. Nothing against Muff, just they seem to be the prime example close to us recently that show the hypocrisy when the shitty press sniff a Swindon story.
