If Financial fair play is followed through
I know I complain about this a lot with regard to Arsenal. This is because I don't think that they make any difference, as Arsene Wenger would be managing in this way anyway. He should at least be honest about it, rather than maintaining his excuses.
Anyway, if Financial Fair Play is followed through upon, surely Man City don't have a hope in hell with complying with it and will be thrown out of the Champions League. I would have thought that Chelsea would be unlikely to manage to comply either. (This is unless their owners' companies increase their sponsorship to cover costs and Uefa turn a blind eye to it). If Man City and Chelsea are not allowed to play in the Champions League, will their best players leave? Or is it purely about the money for them (e.g Samir Nasri).
Btw, apparently Ashley Cole wants to leave Chelsea because they wont offer him a 2 year contract. Who would buy a past his prime 31 year old, with no resale value and massive wages? Surely only PSG or Man City?
