You can't spend more than you earn. No matter how much money any organisation pumps in the facts are there in terms of money vs money out.
I remember arguing with N4C years ago about this saying FFP wont work because the likes of City can just say the are putting money into the "business" in order to be competitive. Like a research and development arm of a pharmaceutical business. It's most likely always going to be running at loss. UEFA brought FFP in God knows how long ago and it's taken them until now to charge the biggest culprits. I fully await PSG getting this aswell as theres no way they're not guilty of the same thing.
P.S. city of God. What a movie, haven't seen that for years. A rewatch is on.
It's not the same, say Nike really wanted MBappe at Liverpool and we would only give him 250k per week and Nike said to MBappe and his agent they really wanted him here, so they were willing to increase his endorsement payments by 7.5m a season if he made the move as it would be highly beneficial for them if he came here. There's no breach of FFP there, we're not spending more money than we have coming in, if Nike want to offer a player an extra 7.5m plus on his endorsement payments to move to a club that carries them as sponsor on their shirts, that's their business.
The UAE FC issue is that their alleged income from sponsors, partners and the image rights company is not legitimately money from those businesses, they are putting their own money into the club through these companies as they do not have the global following, the history or the profile to attract top sponsors who pay the amounts of money they do to Barca, Real, the flithy, Bayern, us etc to compete with us and comply with FFP, so they're fiddling the books and giving the additional money they need for wages and transfer fees to those companies to pay to give back to UAE FC as alleged sponsorship payments through their owners other businesses
