The argument that City are a financial healthy and well run club is daft. When you have these inflated sponsorship deals but neither the fans or actual finances to back it up, it makes the club a bit precarious. Should AD get bored with their plaything and sell it on, it would take incredible owners to keep the charade going. If they fail to get revenue fairly and organically, they could be in financial bother. That’s what FFP is getting at here. City aren’t spending beyond the owner’s means, but they are absolutely spending beyond the club’s means.
