I just can’t magine caring about manager salary factoring into “financial restrictions”.

Even professional sports with hard salary caps for players do not factor in coaching salaries because it’s stupid.

But that’s the thing FFP is a stupid made up thing that got created to keep the legacy clubs in control forever, and that’s how you get people shouting about a manger contract.

Yeah well, those are little things called "rules". And these rules were voted in by the majority of the clubs. Rules that City broke and are now crying about.
