    The sponshirship of the 'Etihad Campus' is a disgrace. How that isn't a violation, I have no idea.
    Its only worth 40m pounds a year, but that should cover there back for FFP as it will cover most of their wages, i think?

    When they lost over 120m pounds this season, i think that was made up mostly of transfer fees and wages, so yeh there losses should go down a lot. I think they played it well.

    This is not taking in account with what they are doing with Sport City and Etihad Campus as its counted towards FFPR.

    There are rules in the FFP to stop 'inflated sponsorship deals', but who is to determine what is 'inflated'?

    "Uefa will use relevant experts to make assessments as to the fair value of any major sponsorship deals, using appropriate industry benchmarks," a spokesman told The Independent on Sunday. "These will then be considered by the Club Financial Control Panel, together with any relevant information the clubs present regarding the deals, when they assess the break-even requirements."

    City, who are expected to announce losses in two months' time in excess of last year's £121m, insist the deal is based on legitimate market values and will help them move towards meeting the FFP requirements of losing no more than ¤45m (£40m) in the three years to 2014-15. Clubs must effectivelybreak even by 2018 or face being barred from European competition.

    Fuck me, its like their playing the game Sims, but in real life.

    This is going to cost a fortune to run, not only building it, but how can you have 400 youth players?
