Man City post a loss of £23m, £16m of which was from the fine for making a loss...
Yep, punish the teams that lose money by making them lose even more money... financial 'fair play' being as terrible an idea as ever. *sarcastic applause*
Just imagine if this rule was around when Portsmouth were spending money. They would have been made bankrupt the day they got the fine... Or would they have got away with it since they couldn't afford it? Yep, that REALLY sounds like 'fair play' alright...

They lose money because they're getting it from external sources. Financial fair play forces (or it's supposed to force at least) clubs to be sustainable and use only the money they generate themselves. Really, a Manchester City fan complaining about the FFP is the lowest of the low.
That aside, man I'm glad with those 2 wins (even if they weren't as satisfying, what with United winning too). Hopefully it gives the team and manager the confidence they've been lacking for so long ahead of the crucial game against Basel.

My main problem with FFP is that they claim it to be to stop clubs spending too much money and going bankrupt (like the Portsmouth example I gave) except that clearly isn't the case, fines would just make them go bankrupt quicker, the exact opposite of what they claim to be trying to do.
FFP exists solely for the purpose of keeping the big teams big and the small teams small.

who said it should stop clubs from going bankrupt? it exists to keep real teams on top and to punish faketeams that are just pushed with alot of outside money.
