As you have posted a lot of information- could you please explain what is the difference between FFP in the Premier League and FFP in UEFA competitions?

If I'm correct in reading below and not misinterpreting- it seems as though a club could meet FFP in the Premier League- qualify for European Competition but then fail FFP in that?

Seems as though FA are setting clubs up for a fall?

Sorry if I 've got it wrong.

{Ed002's Note - The rules are different between UEFA and each of the FAs/Leagues. The Premier League (not The FA) has different rules to UEFA and there are many reasons for that including varying tax sitautions across different nations. In terms of cost control the Premier League has worked on the basis of a maximum of £105M total losses over a three year period whilst UEFA allows the injection of money from the owners of €5M a year on the basis that total losses do not exceed €30M (was €45M) over a rolling three year period. The offset is significant but the Premier League figure allows the deduction of costs associated withyouth football, women's football and in particular infrastructure (stadium improvements etc.) to be excluded - so it is not really like for like.}

Thanks Ed
I think there was co stage a whole back of city shifting some of their operation over to the women’s side.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what that means, sorry.}

Sorry Ed
Think there was a story/ coverage a while back that the Men’s set up at City had moved some of their costs over to the Women’s side.

{Ed002's Note - If you look at the losses being made by women's football clubs the amounts are vey small at most clubs - although Manchester City have made more losses than most - but it is less than £1M a year, so I would not worry about it.}

Laughable comments from Clinton Morrison on sly sprots about how ‘unlucky’ city have been. They weren’t unlucky, the owner ploughed millions and millions into Citeh in an effort to cheat their way to the top and got caught doing it. Anyone casting an eye over the figures could see what they were up to, and they finally got caught for it. Cheats - yes, unlucky - not in my book.

Citeh’s buying up of talent cheated other clubs of a fair competition. If only the Prem had the balls to punish the cheats - they won’t but they should.
