If Financial fair play is followed through

[John]

I think they will find a workaround in exactly the manner you talk of. Man City has already signed mega bucks deals with "other" companies in the owners network that will enable them, I believe, to come with Eufa's financial fair play rules. I also think that a blind eye will be turned.

The problem is beginning to go full circle as the top echelon of clubs are now dependent on these mega rich owners to even stand a chance. Apparently Man Utd have a £100 million in reserve and perhaps Cristiano Ronaldo may (unlikely) return but for wages of £200k a week and a transfer fee in excess of £100 million. It's stupid money and I don't see how a club can conform to financial fair play when it's considering such huge payouts to one player?

Ashley Cole has maybe one or two years left at the top. He's going to start getting sidelined by Chelsea I reckon and next year he'll be playing for Stoke! (fingers crossed)
