Ok, if everyone is against City and doesn't want them to play in CL, Only because they spend much.... then im wasting my time here. There is no point arguing...

bbc are as good a source as any - if its not confirmed theyll put it on the gossip page, not as a proper news report.
I know myself, and I think CJ, were making a point against your elitist attitude, not their spending power. People have accepted you have the money and are on a spending spree, a lot of people would also like to see fairer competition that is less distorted by money.
Yes, of course they still have it, but a few years ago, you were blooding through your youth, with players such as Michael Johnson, Stephen Ireland, but can you really see your team playing youth and such when youve spent so much money on players.
And for Part 2, only a City fan would say that, honestly, so you'd rather see a team buy there success, than work really hard, grafting to get into CL football.
*Sigh*
I said if Juve came calling. Then everyone knows Dzeko is Juve or Milan fan and would consider a move there.
What do you really expect City fans to say Cj, we have money? Let's not spend it and continue to finish outside the top four?
Huh? Everyone knows he supports Juve or Milan?
Madridsta was implying that people would rather see City and other rich clubs play than the poorer ones from other countries. He didn't mention the correct ways to qualify, just insulted poorer clubs saying they don't deserve a chance.
Okay, what if england had 4 automatic places in CL...and 6 who have a chance to qualify. And Zilina would have faced some of those. Do you think they would have gone trough? I dont...if they would, then i could say that they have earned it.
I love to watch ManU, Arsenal, Spurs, even clubs like newcastle, sunderland, Villa, Everton...
But anyways... idc anymore. Just continue hating City. If it's fun.
Pretty sure he supports Milan.Huh? Everyone knows he supports Juve or Milan?
As for the Champions League financial fair play rules. I am sure there is plenty of ways round it.

I agree with you on the FFF thing. Break-even is such a vague term, sounds like there will be a lot of room for manouevre. Does anyone have a file stating the specifics?
Does it matter?
They must have faced some very very tough teams to get through, so they have deserved it.
End of.
Of course, for their level. And idc really about that but if someone says that City doesn't deserve a place in CL next season in terms of their quality of football...then you know nothing about football. But of course i want arsenal, united, spurs to qualify too. I think england deserves 1 extra place too. To the qualifying rounds.
Why cant you people just stop hating? Show some respect to city fans too...and dont start hating. Do you think we would be hating if any other english club would be buying Dzeko now? I wouldn't.
Not going to trawl through the thread to check, but over the last few pages I don't recall anyone stating City don't deserve a place in the CL.
No1 said that. But i would like people even to admit it. They said they wouldn't want City to qualify for CL. But they really would deserve it now... they are playing good football. I really hope it will be a entertaining game with Arsenal today. I really wouldn't mind Arsenal winning.
If i had to choose a PL team over City, i would probly choose them or spurs. They play fantastic football.
Break-even itself is a specific term but in this context it isn't. Cost of what? Are transfer budget included into the cost? Also are loan repayments included? Are stadium improvements included? Are transfer funds in included into the revenue? Things are different when talking about a football club. If it was a car company then yes Break-even would be sufficient.Break-even is actually a very specific term, it is defined as the point at which costs equal revenue, thus no profit or loss has been made. As I already mentioned they're giving leeways for the maximum loss a club can make and still be obeying the regulations, and secondly UEFA are going to audit clubs to check their accounts are satisfactory against the rules.
