Biggest question for me - how does this impact the January transfer window?
PSG and Man City have found out that there aren't really any loopholes. And lets be honest, we will have to spend a massive wedge in a short amount of time to get to title challenger level.

ManU also is not subject to FFP this season.Man Utd actually bring in the 2nd most revenue of any football club in the world. They stated they wouldn't be breaking FFP rules even if they had bought one player for a world record fee. So I think they are alright.
Man City broke the rules and were sanctioned.
Christmas 2 months running...Biggest question for me - how does this impact the January transfer window?
only if negotiations are complete - if they are ongoing, it may be no spending...Christmas 2 months running...
That isn't par, yes we overachieved by finishing above them in the league but they won two trophies and we won nothing, our coach is expected to mix it up with Chelsea and the rest on a shoestring budget, so there shouldn't be any bitching about how much they spent and in fact Liverpool I think won the league cup that year and qualifed for the Europa cup, so had a better season than us as well.With the amount of money Abromovich has lavished on the team I would say that is about par. Where as we actually overachieved by finishing about Chelsea.

If it time goes on and it's discovered rejected a bid, then it affects it massively.Biggest question for me - how does this impact the January transfer window?
Can't see this being anything other than a PR stunt to launch their new business.
No Levy is the one who expects that, that's why he expected Jol and others to get CL football on a shoestring budget.You seem to be the only one who expects us to mix it up with Chelsea and the rest. Most realistic fans understand they are above our level and it will be hard to compete until we increase revenues through a bigger stadium.
Liverpool are a bigger club than us in every way possible, so I really don't understand your point.
No.
Levy expected Jol to get champions league football on a shoestring budget with Carrick and Jenas in midfield.
So if Levy doesn't appreciate that our ability to compete financially has some bearing, why the hell should I?
It's not entirely his fault, coaches, players take the responsibility too. Levy appoints the coach thus takes blame as well as credit.
Then either he should get the hell out or stop placing unrealistic expectations on coaches
I am measuring Levy by his own standards which he sets out for coaches, he expected to Jol to get 4th on a shoestring budget after he had taken us from 9th to 5th which was our best finish in the premiership.
For Jol there wasn't any sob story/excuses, it was a text at half time from his nephew telling him he doesn't have a job any more.

Don't shoot the messenger, the truth is depressing but it's not me that is responsible for one trophy and one CL qualification in 14 years, it's not my fault Everton over took us last season, I'm just giving the facts.jesus dude, lighten up...you are one of the msost depressing people on this board at times
But large investment firms generally don't need/do much PR -- except when they are under investigation for something, in which case it's called "crisis management."Can't see this being anything other than a PR stunt to launch their new business.
Jol was expected by Levy to get CL football after getting 5th, when he didn't they started looking at Ramos in the summer and gave some excuse about Jol having an interview at newcastle.I think there is a difference between aiming high and expecting. I don't think any manager has left specifically because they haven't got us CL football.
