Blue_Guru Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Can't help but think city will do all they can to structure a deal that sees us with as little share as possible. Obviously don't know the detail of our sell on clause but there are always ways around it...large appearance bonus payments...international cap bonus payments...even multi player deals. For example if a team were interested in Lescott and Richards what would be stopping them paying £10m for Lescott and nothing for Richards?..........or city might not give a :censored: about £2m because try are :censored:in wedged!

In any swap deal the tangible value of the transfer would be decided by tribunal and we would still get something. Whether that is less than it would be in a normal case is debatable but we certainly wouldn't lose out completely. The only way we get nothing is if he genuinely goes for nothing which is very unlikely unless his contract expires. Even in a structured deal we would get a percentage of monies from appearance based milestone payments and the like. As long as they sell, whatever way they do we'll get our share. As you say - it's likely they really couldn't give a :censored: about this sell on clause with their current financial situation, this is chicken feed.

SavageTheBeast Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) 2 million is nothing to them Hopefully they think the opposite and try and get a good deal for us as we deserve some compensation for the shower of :censored: Plummer served us Edited April 9, 2014 by SavageTheBeast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbaltipie Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Another scenario... City are placed under an immediate transfer embargo for breaking financial fair play rules, and none of their players are allowed to leave by the club.. that would be just our luck. Although they will need to reduce their wage bill to comply, it will be interesting to see if they are given more time to get their finances in order, in which case they would look to ship him out.

I would put my money on City being fined! It rather defeats the logic of the fair play rules, but this is EUFA and some of the fine might be payable in cash!

losesome Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 What a load of tosh this FFP rule is, So i win the euro Lottery of £125 million and want Latics to spend half of it on building a decent squad with better paid players but can't because of the rules. These rules simply mean the more you earn the more you can spend , the less you earn the less you can spend ie - A financial league. In another few years we can forget about playing football and just issue a financial league in May and whoever is top gets the title.

Perhaps the final league tables should be adjusted by adding points for the budget used for the season. eg. Wolves get none and the rest get a pro rata addition. Then the team that finishes top would be the best managed team with the money available. Leyton Orient would probably finish top this season.

Simoncorneyisgod Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Was talking about this on a course this week to a sheff Utd and Middlesbrough fan....think about it 2 large grounds that cannot attract the fans back to support them due to the quality of product on the pitch, FFP now means that these chairman cannot 'speculate to accumulate' in order to attract the fan base back to the club on a regular basis....wealthy owners with a potential large fan base will no longer be attracted by football as they can't spend their money.

4froale Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 city have broke the ffp rules, one of the sanctions they could face is a limit in non british players in the champions league squad, hopefully not as this could mean they may need to keep Micah to fill that quota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
