Be interested to see how much of this relates to keeping hold of assetts like land, hotel, training ground etc.

Wonder where phil stands as well? Replaced?
Whether there are workarounds or not I don't know, but Paris St Germain were fined for their shirt sponsorship deal and Forest expect a fine some time soon.

I guess it come down to whether or not the owners are prepared to pay the penalty in exchange for a better chance of winning?

My thoughts exactly..
Wasn't Citeh's picked up on because they were paid a ridiculous amount of money, which was way over the going rate and a blatant attempt to beat the FFP regs? I may have just made this up btw!

Nope. This is exactly what happened.

Yes - they have the concept of Fair Market Value (FMV) now in the FFP "rulebook"...

He's redeemed himself somewhat with the appointment of lennon but still made a fair few mistakes. I won't be in mourning if (when) he goes but careful what you wish for and that.

Yep. I think the Citeh coversation went something like ;

Sponsor (linked to Etihad) ... "So, how much are your running costs ?"
Citeh ... "Oh, about £150m a year"
Sponsor ... "Will a cheque do ?"

The FA told them to feck off.

I wonder how that works. Clearly they can't tell them what the limit is, and also clearly Man City were taking the piss, but there must be a point to which they can ease it above what they could otherwise get. Give it a few years of everyone doing that...

Yes ... tje black and the white are easy but shades of grey ? There must be 50 of them.

I guess you can come reasonably close to what commercial advantage is given. I mean, has anyone ever bought a fibrelec ??

Here's a quiz question ... Everton wete sponsored by Hafnia for about 4 years. What is a Hafnia ?

Which shows. As they have nothing to do with hampers.
