Our Radiator is made of AA5052 aircraft aluminum. Its different from other sellers T-3303 Series. In fact, AA5052 series Aluminum is much better than T-3303 series.
More than 90% of aftermarket manufacturers use the T-3303 series Aluminum, because it is cheaper and easier to get the material. However, T-3303 aluminum has many disadvantages, such as poor polishing effect, softness, easiness to scratch and corrode, poor heat dissipation effect. If the T-3303 aluminum radiator is operated in high pressure and high temperature for a long time, the leaking problem would occur very soon.
AA5052 Aluminum is an Al-Mg alloy with good corrosion resistance, excellent reliability and cold workability and strength. The main alloying element of T-5052 is magnesium, which has good forming and processing properties. It is widely used in the manufacture of aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, and sheet metal parts of transportation vehicles and ships, hardware products, and electrical-appliance casings.
This AA5052 Aluminum Radiator is designed to provide maximum cooling efficiency to prevent premature engine failure. Its light-weight, and high-heat transferring aluminum features a tube and fin design that, dramatically increases surface area that enables the heat to dissipate more efficiently. This AA5052 Aluminum Radiator is at least 30%-45% more efficient than stock ones. Most importantly, it has a much higher capacity for coolant than stock ones, which means that your cooling system will be more efficient and will be more resistant to temperature surges in racing applications.
Aluminum plate is pressed, high quality and durable.

Obama on immigration overhaul: 'Now is the time'
Obama on immigration overhaul: 'Now is the time'
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
LAS VEGAS (AP) Declaring "now is the time" to fix the nation's broken immigration system, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined broad proposals for putting millions of illegal immigrants on a clear path to citizenship while cracking down on businesses that employ people illegally and tightening security at the borders. He hailed a bipartisan Senate group on a similar track but left unresolved key details that could derail the complex and emotional effort.
Potential Senate roadblocks center on how to structure the avenue to citizenship and on whether legislation would cover same-sex couples and that's all before a Senate measure could be debated, approved and sent to the Republican-controlled House where opposition is sure to be stronger.
Obama, who carried Nevada in the November election with heavy Hispanic support, praised the Senate push, saying Congress is showing "a genuine desire to get this done soon." But mindful of previous immigrations efforts that have failed, he warned that the debate would be difficult and vowed to send his own legislation to Capitol Hill if lawmakers don't act quickly.
"The question now is simple," Obama said during a campaign-style event in Las Vegas, one week after being sworn in for a second term in the White House. "Do we have the resolve as a people, as a country, as a government to finally put this issue behind us? I believe that we do."
Shortly after Obama finished speaking, cracks emerged between the White House and the group of eight senators, which put out their proposals one day ahead of the president. Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, one of four Republicans in the group, criticized Obama for not making a citizenship pathway contingent on tighter border security, a central tenant of the lawmakers' proposals.
"This provision is key to ensuring that border security is achieved, and is also necessary to ensure that a reform package can actually move through Congress," Flake said in a statement.
House Speaker John Boehner also responded coolly, with spokesman Brendan Buck saying the Ohio Republican hoped the president would be "careful not to drag the debate to the left and ultimately disrupt the difficult work that is ahead in the House and Senate."
Despite possible obstacles to come, the broad agreement between the White House and bipartisan lawmakers in the Senate represents a drastic shift in Washington's willingness to tackle immigration, an issue that has languished for years. Much of that shift is politically motivated, due to the growing influence of Hispanics in presidential and other elections and their overwhelming support for Obama in November.
The separate White House and Senate proposals focus on the same principles: providing a way for most of the estimated 11 million people already in the U.S. illegally to become citizens, strengthening border security, cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants and streamlining the legal immigration system.
A consensus around the question of citizenship could help lawmakers clear one major hurdle that has blocked previous immigration efforts. Many Republicans have opposed allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens, saying that would be an unfair reward for people who have broken the law.
Details on how to achieve a pathway to citizenship still could prove to be a major sticking point between the White House and the Senate group.
Obama and the Senate lawmakers all want to require people here illegally to register with the government, pass criminal and national security background checks, pay fees and penalties as well as back taxes, and wait until existing immigration backlogs are cleared before getting in line for green cards. Neither proposal backs up those requirements with specifics.
After achieving legal status, U.S. law says people can become citizens after five years.
The Senate proposal says that entire process couldn't start until the borders were fully secure and tracking of people in the U.S. on visas had improved. Those vague requirements would almost certainly make the timeline for achieving citizenship longer than what the White House is proposing.
The president urged lawmakers to avoid making the citizenship pathway so difficult that it would appear out of reach for many illegal immigrants.
"We all agree that these men and women have to earn their way to citizenship," he said. "But for comprehensive immigration reform to work, it must make clear from the outset that there is a pathway to citizenship."
"It won't be a quick process, but it will be a fair process," Obama added.
Another key difference between the White House and Senate proposals is the administration's plan to allow same-sex partners to seek visas under the same rules that govern other family immigration. The Senate principles do not recognize same-sex partners, though Democratic lawmakers have told gay rights groups that they could seek to include that in a final bill.
John McCain of Arizona, who is part of the Senate immigration group, called the issue a "red flag" in an interview Tuesday on "CBS This Morning."
Washington last took up immigration changes in a serious way in 2007, when then-President George W. Bush pressed for an overhaul. The initial efforts had bipartisan support but eventually collapsed in the Senate because of a lack of GOP support.
Cognizant of that failed effort, the White House has readied its own immigration legislation. But officials said Obama will send it to the Hill only if the Senate process stalls.
Most of the recommendations Obama made Tuesday were not new. They were included in the immigration blueprint he released in 2011, but he exerted little political capital to get it passed by Congress, to the disappointment of many Hispanics.
Some of the recommendations in the Senate plan are also pulled from past immigration efforts. The senators involved in formulating the latest proposals, in addition to McCain and Flake, are Democrats Charles Schumer of New York, Dick Durbin of Illinois, Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Michael Bennet of Colorado, and Republicans Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Marco Rubio of Florida.
Also Tuesday, in another sign of Congress' increased attention to immigration issues, a group of four senators introduced legislation aimed at allowing more high-tech workers into the country, a longtime priority of technology businesses. The bill by Republicans Rubio and Orrin Hatch and Democrats Amy Klobuchar and Chris Coons would increase the number of visas available for high-tech workers, make it easier for them to change jobs once here and for their spouses to work, and aim to make it easier for foreigners at U.S. universities to remain here upon graduation.

MINNEAPOLIS >> The top spot in The Associated Press Top 25 is the last place any team wants to be this season.
When Indiana lost at Minnesota on Tuesday night, it was the seventh time this season that a No. 1 team has been defeated. That's the highest number since 2009-10, according to STATS. And this season isn't over yet.
Second-ranked Gonzaga is poised to rise to No. 1 in the next poll if the Bulldogs can get through the rest of the week unscathed. If that happens, Gonzaga would be the fifth team atop the poll this season. That would be the most since 2008-09.
"There's been almost a game of hot potato for the No. 1 ranking this season," Big Ten Network college basketball analyst Tom Dienhart said. "Nobody seems to want it. It's been a crazy year."
Some of the biggest names in the land have had their hands on that coveted ranking. The Hoosiers haven't been able to handle it. They've lost three times this season while ranked No. 1. Duke has gone down twice and Michigan and Louisville have also ascended to the top spot only to be knocked off.
No matter who gets up there next, the jostling at the top all season will ensure that the air of invincibility that often comes with the top ranking won't be there for the rest of the season.
"Every year is wide open, but more so this year than ever," said Minnesota coach Tubby Smith, whose Golden Gophers were swarmed by their delirious fans on Tuesday night after their first win over a No. 1 team since 1989. "I don't think there's a dominant team you can look at like Kentucky last year. You kind of had an idea they were the best team going, and that's hard to overcome that type of talent."
Five of those Wildcats from last year's national championship team were drafted in June, including the top two picks in the draft. Coach John Calipari hasn't been able to replace his stars quite as quickly as he has been able to in the past, and Kentucky has tumbled out of the rankings. Traditional powers North Carolina and UCLA are also unranked, which has created room for Miami, New Mexico and Saint Louis to creep into the Top 25.
Perhaps no team better illustrates this wild season than Smith's Gophers. They won 15 of their first 16 games to climb to No. 8 in the poll, then lost seven of the next 10 games in the powerful Big Ten to fall off the board.
It took a game against the Hoosiers to wake them up, and Trevor Mbakwe's 21 points and 12 rebounds helped get one of the oldest arenas in the country shaking as another No. 1 team bit the dust.
"I don't think there's a dominating player, and therefore it's more difficult to have a dominating team," ESPN analyst and former Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg said. "There's not a team in the country that doesn't have a scar. Playing on the road is really difficult when you don't have a player at the end of a game who can take over a game."
That should make for one heck of an NCAA tournament. Several analysts have estimated that there are at least 10 teams that will enter the field in the middle of March with a realistic chance to win the title. After seeing the likes of Butler, VCU and George Mason make surprising runs to the Final Four in recent years, the wide-open nature of this year's college scene could make this the year a small school gets it done.
"Maybe one of these little guys can not only get there, but win it all," Dienhart said. "I wouldn't be shocked that this is one of those years."
Gonzaga is perhaps the biggest of those little guys, a small school that has gained a large reputation over the last decade or more. It's hard to get any bigger than being No. 1, something the Zags could do if they can beat BYU in Provo on Thursday and Portland at home on Saturday.
"It's special … that people see you in that light at the top of the nation," guard Mike Hart said earlier this week when Gonzaga hit No. 2, the highest ranking in school history.
Who knows in this crazy college season? After so many big boys have failed to hold on to the No. 1 spot, maybe a small fry will show them all how it's done.
"Being a national darling would not be new territory for them," Dienhart said. "The players are different, sure. But they're not a new team on the block. They're used to being highly ranked and having high expectations. I think it's kind of fun having somebody new up there."

The impact of transfer fees on a club's accounts is not easy to understand for many non-accountants, as the full expense is not booked immediately, but instead is written-down (amortised) evenly over the length of the player's contract. The reasoning is that the player is an asset, but could potentially leave for nothing at the end of his contract on a Bosman, when the value would be zero. So, if a club like Chelsea signs a £40 million player on a four-year contract, the annual amortisation is £10 million, i.e. £40 million divided by four years.

Excellent reading as always, and a piece on FFP that well exceeds anything I have read (and probably will read) on the subject in the English press.ReplyDelete
Interesting to see what will happen to the big two in Spain if the TV-deals are common like in England, and if PSG is non-compliant in 2015. Will Platini take action then?Replies

They'll be fine tbh. Real make more in non-TV revenues than Arsenal or Chelsea do in total and any collective deal will still be skewed like in England and Italy plus collective rights bring in more since there is more value in the whole than the sum of its parts. Combine CL and other non-league TV cash (€40n I think) and I'd guess their revenues would be around the €400m, maybe higher for Real.Delete

"collective rights bring in more since there is more value in the whole than the sum of its parts"Delete
I don't believe that this is always true. In leagues where there are only two or three clubs that draw major audiences, I can easily envision a situation in which individual deals could equal or exceed the value of a collectively negotiated agreement. France would be an interesting case study: PSG and l'OM (and to a lesser extent, Lyon and Lille) are the show. I wonder if Al Jazeera would have paid more than €30m/year for the right to only show PSG's matches internationally.
That being said, I agree with you that Real and Barca generate so much revenue that a possible reduction of their domestic TV take will not make much of a difference.
Hi, please can you provide me the link to sources esp. for match day revenue, wages figure. I'm keen to see have a look at the reports. Many Thanks for the help.ReplyDelete

Great report.ReplyDelete
When you're talking about wages you say that Italy and England have to pay higher tax bills. I had heard that the Beckham law has been repealed and that Spain has hiked their top tax rate, so this could have a nasty impact on La Liga's big two's tax bill.

FFP is completely futile. Once you start fixing the loopholes, you end up with nothing:ReplyDelete
- it hugely favours Premier League clubs, as it has by far the highest TV revenues. This is clearly unfair to Italian or German clubs, let alone Portugese, Dutch, Belgian, Rumanian, etc...so take out TV income.
- Sponsorship distorts hugely, there's no meaningful difference between Qatar paying Barcelona 24 mio for their name on a shirt and Qatar injecting X mio in PSG. So logically, for commercial income: take it all out.
- so if we take out equity injections (blatant or by stealth as "membership fees"), debt injections, commercial income and TV money to level the playing field, all we end up with to evaluate FFP is gate attendance and profits from player trading.
- Oh yeah, player trading can be moved off-balance sheet by means of players being owned by external investment funds - take that out as well: just consider wages then.
- Then the argument logically goes that it's unfair that some clubs have richer fans (the "prawn brigade"), the sport clearly wants to present an egalitarian/non-elitist image, so after adjustments for that, you'll just be counting heads in stadiums to determine how much a club is allowed to spend on player wages. Woohoo.

Great post as usual, it's so clear and complete, something impossible to read on an Italian newspaper...thank you!ReplyDelete
UEFA has apparently taken a stance and added a section about third party ownership in the 2012 edition of the Financial Fair Play Regulations. It's in Annex VII (C)(5)(b)ReplyDelete
«Any profit in respect of a player for whom the licence applicant retains the registration must not be recognised in the profit and loss account. For the avoidance of doubt, any profit arising from the disposal of economic rights or similar of a player to any other party must be deferred, and a profit can only be recognised in the profit and loss account following the permanent transfer of a player's registration to another club.»
To be honest, it's really a soft change and it hardly changes the disadvantage for clubs in the Premier League and Ligue 1. Even though third party ownership is an integral part of for example the Liga ZON Sagres; it can't be beneficiary to have agents such as Mendes(GestiFute) sitting on several sides of the table in transfer dealings.
And great article by the way. I was considering writing a lengthy one about the topic, but it would seem it would be surplus to requirements now …
Clearly, Manchester City will have almost no hope of meeting the FFP regulations, despite reducing their transfer expenditure this summer to a net £30m or so.ReplyDelete
What is more surprising is that Chelsea seem to be almost able to meet FFP rules, although that doesn't take this summer's high net transfer spend into account.
This season is already the second year of the first qualifying period for FFP. Yes, the Premiership money goes up dramatically but not until next season.Replies

Due to the age/length of contract of the players chelsea have signed they will be able to write down the transfer fees significantlyDelete

One of the core reasons that the chelsea story looks healthy prima facie is because of sheer revenue brought in.... In 10 years they have been to 3 CL finals.. 2 semi final exits and roubd of 16 every year... That is a lot of dosh.... Even this year with funds from cl and pl...the transfer bill of chelsea is well taken care off.. What remains is balance expenses against match day revenue and other revenue.... Thats very smart and healthy business.Delete
good stuff, i'm a big fan of FFPReplyDelete

Fantastically clear and thorough analysis, as always.ReplyDelete
Fascinating stuff. I am all for Financial Fair Play but it seems that, like doping, the 'bad' guys will always be one step ahead. It also seems that UEFA will deal with potential problems but hasn't got a clue how.ReplyDelete
For instance, I just cannot see how PSG can be a fair player. 140 million euros spent in the last few weeks, revenue which is far far far below those figures, TV revenue which is a fraction of the English deal, commercial revenue light years behind the English and Germans, and player wages which are just ridiculous. Take Ibrahimovic: his wages are 14 million euros net, whatever new laws the government comes up with. Which means that if our President new 75% tax comes into play, PSG will have to fork out anything between 50 and 80 million euros a year for one player! That is twice the whole budget of many french teams (including Montpellier, current champions).
I just cannot see this how the club can survive without massive influx from Qatari money, thus not following FFP rules.
How can UEFA say whether a sponsorship deal falls within its rules or not. A couple of years ago, a 20 million pound shirt deal would have been ridiculous, now, with Man Utd, you can double that So what's the limit?
I really do not know what the best deal is for European football, but I still expect the bubble to burst. 50 quid for a ticket for a football game, 50-70 pounds for a TV package to watch football, 100-200 000 pounds a week for many football players...how long will this last...Champions League necessary for many clubs but only a fraction can qualify for it every year...
Good for Platini to try and make things better. Good luck to him!
Chelsea to comply!ReplyDelete
this is great news!!! AND we are yet to add CL win bonus to this budget.
Thank you Swissramble, and thank you CFC for putting up wage structures so clearly.

"some clubs might simply make operating losses every year and get within the break-even target by hefty player sales in one year": sales to whom?ReplyDelete
Fred, your comparison with doping could not be more relevant. As you say, the 'bad guys' always seem to come out on top (at least until they are caught out many years later as in the case of Lance Armstrong).ReplyDelete
However, in the case of football, the case is that they are not found out many years later but that they defy the authorities, in this case UEFA, to sanction them in the first place!
It is clear that PSG, City, Chelsea and Russian clubs such as Zenit St. Petersberg and Anzhi Machkachkola lose so much money each year that they can only survive financially by means of a very large input of funds from their owners.
This input is way in excess of the amount allowed by UEFA, namely €45m over the two years 2011/12 and 2012/13 combined.
Will UEFA have the balls to ban these clubs from European football? That remains to be seen, although it is certainly easier to ban them than banning, say, AC Milan, Inter Milan or Juventus, clubs which are also affected as they run at huge losses.

I'm a Milan supporter. I think FFP is a good idea, but will have plenty of perverse outcomes.ReplyDelete
Think of Milan's pursuit of Montolivo and now Yanga-Mbiwa.
In both cases the players both had one year left on their contract when Milan started to chase them. In both cases Milan offered low-ball transfer figures, which allowed them to negotiate for the player without risking getting in trouble for tapping up.
Clearly in Montolivo's case and it looks like in Yanga-Mbiwa's case too, Milan have done some gentlemans agreement with the players to make sure they wait out their contract and come as free agents.
I'm sure we will see more of this because of FFP. I wonder what UEFA can do to stop it. Doesn't seem to be within the spirit of the game, but clubs under pressure to meet FFP are going to do all kinds of didgy stuff to get by
- LeGoonerSeptember 7, 2012 at 12:46 PM
I have not yet had a chance to read through your FFP article in full (a fine read I expect to be sure!). However, it is very interesting that the FA yesterday has finally presented a discussion for an FA, ie domestic, regulation of salaries through the imposition of some sort of salary cap in the english game. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/06/premier-league-salary-capReplyDelete
This is something that has existed in the US for a long time. The workings of it I understand are complex, but the consensus is that they manage to achieve a greater competitive balance between teams by limiting each club's ability to spend on salaries or rather to force them to allocate salaries within strict confines (you can spend it all on a few ronaldos at the expense of the rest of the team).
Do you have any views on whether such a system is necessary in addition to UEFA's FFP or indeed whether it would be redundant to it? I'm doing my own thinking on this, and especially I am interested in your views as to whether these rules would cause the English game to lose its competitiveness domestically and at EU level if other EU markets would not follow suit.
Clearly this may cause a drain of talent from the inability to offer the highest salaries relative to other markets (eg we cant think Barca or Real would allow themselves to lose that marketing edge of attracting the worlds best if the salaries couldnt follow), and would this ultimately damage the English teams' chances to succeed in the CL (though obviously their ability to participate would not be affected)
It seems to me that it would and that this would only lead to the financial strengthening of those leagues unbound by salary caps perpetuating their financial advantage and potentially worsening the talent drain from England (noting this might in turn cause domestic players to be favoured and improve the England squad in exchange; this is what happened in France but without Salary caps merely the low capitalisation of the french teams until recently).
Ultimately I guess what I am saying is that since there doesn't appear to be sufficient market pressures to ensure competitive equity, must the dreaded pan european EU regulation take over the finances of European football since UEFA has not such authority?
Some rambling thoughts but as an Arsenal fan ever frustrated (as Valencia, Atletico, Ajax, Dortmund and other similar fans) by seeing the pressures from subsidised teams draining our best assets, I am keen to know when and in what form an effective and fair solution will ever exist.Replies
My opinion on this matter is that the FA need to have a control in place to ensure its member clubs don't fail to meet their obligations. It would be very embarrassing to have a member club fail to qualify and could put the premier league / FA under a need for close controls or examination. Otherwise it's a bit like a construction company not having a health & safety department...accident waiting to happen.
Is there anything to stop someone investing say £500 Million in a league one or two side in the hope of gaining quick promotion to the Premier league so that that money is already there over 3 years if they make champions league qualification?ReplyDelete
Brilliant as always, what I really wonder is how serious UEFA will bee about punishing teams.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 8, 2012 at 8:26 PM
well presented, love it cos it reads like the idiots guide to financial fair play and i mean that in a nice way sadly its the content that is most disappointing as there are way too many grey areas open to exploitation by smart people working for wealthy clubs for stupendous money thats gets even more stupendous if they are succesful in doing the clubs bidding. The whole thing smells of UEFA feeling changes need to be made and then asking the big clubs what the changes are and how they should implement them and then shaping the whole thing to suit the big clubs differing needs. In short it sucks basically because UEFA cannot and truthfully dare not bite the hands that feed it and keep it in such privilege, luxury and splendour. UEFA are like a narcissistic, pampered and privileged trophy missus on the arm of a famous, rich international celebrity happy to parade said guy at lavish parties she's arranged while knowing she's nothing without the guy and then having to tell the guy how to conduct himself all the while hoping he doesn't get the hump. Uefa can only beg the clubs who make their beloved champions league so prestigious to please comply by their rules, please pretty please.ReplyDelete
I've wondered if some of the recent spending spree, particularly by City and Chelsea (or more recently by Zenit), has been an attempt to get assets on the books before FFP kicks in. Buy Hazard and Oscar now (or Kun and Nasri last year), and at least some of their cost will be amortized in the pre-FFP window. Then if you sell them, the sales can offset future purchases. It's akin to clubs buying large stockpiles of gold before they have to break even. Then they can just sell some gold if they need to generate revenue to break even once FFP exists.ReplyDeleteReplies
Idiots like the author and Frank don't realise that Manchester city no longer needs to spend, by season 2013 when all clubs in europe have to have the laundry neat and tidy. Manchester City will have no debt what so ever to hinder the club.Delete
This is brilliant, as you have, in fact, revealed yourself to be a genuine idiot for two reasons:Delete
1. Despite explaining how FFP works in almost painful detail, you are obviously too thick to realise that FFP has very little to do with debt, though I suspect that you actually don't know the difference between debt and losses.
2. If you had bothered to read some of my past posts on Manchester City, then you would know that I have written quite positively about Manchester City's project and indeed their controversial Etihad sponsorship deal.
However, I would like to congratulate you on your efforts to embarrass yourself. I'm not sure you could have done a better job.
Why do hard-line supporters often think that you are writing against their beloved clubs? I think you are one of the most reliable sources of information, you explain the facts and figures better than most. If everything you wrote were to please everyone, no doubt the info wouldn't be very reliable.Delete
If one doesn't agree with you, fine, they can just explain why. That would lead to a debate and everyone would move forward. Criticising for the sake of it isn't very fruitful, is it?
Go Swiss!!
without reading back through your blog, what is then stopping a club borrowing money to cover a loss?Delete
say a club like mancity has a loss of 40m fy2012 and 20m fy2013, do they simply borrow the 15m to cover the allowable loss?
what if manu didnt make cl next year, that coupled with a low share price could drive their investment down and potentially inhibit their re-growth plans should that happen.
also, i dont understand why there are clubs not in the cl supporting this. dont they realise that it is creating a superleague of untouchables? as without cl revenue, you need investment to buy players and if you do this for 4 or 5 years then finally crack it into the cl you will face sanctions, when all you are trying to do is improve as a club. the evertons, aston villas, newcastles etc. can look at cl as only a pipedream these days, yet this is called fair play!
Looks like piece of very good work. Thanks. I'm starting to read.ReplyDelete
What are the sources for Bayern Munich's incredibly high commercial revenue? I know it has something to do with the Allianz Arena, but what exactly?ReplyDeleteReplies
Bayerns commercial revenue breaks down roughly like this: 80 mio sponsors, 40 mio merchandising and 40 mio Allianz Arena. Not sure what exactly makes up for the Allianz Arena part, but I believe rent (mostly from 1860 Munich), sponsoring again (from Allianz mostly) and catering.Delete
Simon, Uefa's FFP rules already apply and have applied since the start of last season! The first review of these two years starts next year and, in principle, can determine eligibility for European football the following season 2013/14.ReplyDelete
This summer, City's transfer spending was relatively restrained at least partly because FFP already applies but what they spent last year is included for FFP review next year.
City can't meet Uefa FFP rules and it is hard to see Chelsea, PSG, Zenit or Anzhi Machkachkala doing so either.
What a load of bollox, the FFP do not kick in until 2013. By then Chelsea. Manchester City and Liverpool will have wiped their debt clean, unlike clubs like Man United who are in over £300 million debt.ReplyDelete
You idiots need to stop with the wishful thinking, we all know you're praying the FFP hinders Manchester City but in the real world it will never happen.
Deal with it Gimps!Replies
CityBlue, both Swiss Rambler and I have explained to you that the Uefa FFP regulations have already 'kicked in' - from last season, 2011-2012, in fact!Delete
The second season of the FFP is this season, 2012-2013, and the results of these two seasons are then judged over 2013-2014 so that the start of the 2014 season is determined by what has happened last season and what happens this season (financially speaking).
In the season 2010-2011 City lost almost £200m (admittedly, they shunted some of the following seasons' losses, to the tune of £30m +, into that season, the season BEFORE the commencement of FFP).
City recognised that they had to do whatever they could to avoid falling foul of FFP. For your information/edification, FFP has nothing to say about debt. After all, if you can afford to pay off your mortgage, it doesn't matter how much your mortgage is!
Utd's 'mortgage' is pretty high but, importantly, is manageable from Utd's own revenues - Oh!Are you aware that the Premier League clubs are now discussing a plan to limit the ratio of wages to revenue to no more than 70%!
Utd's ratio is under 50% and City's is 114%!
By the time 2013 comes around Manchester City will have wiped their debt clean, same can't be said for £300 million in debt United.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2012 at 8:18 PM
City have no debt, these rules do not punish debt hence the popular belief these rules are intended to protect the established brands of world football. It punishes those who spend more than they earn, even though this is common practice in nearly all forms of business ("speculate to accumulate"). City are thus troubled as they aren't part of the G-14 cabal these rules are made to appease but I believe they will manage, they have some of the smartest business minds in football around and the addition of Ferran Soriano is a masterstroke, he has done it before at Barcelona and has many friends in the corridors of power at UEFA.Delete

City may or may not meet the FFP requirements but the trend will clearly be in the direction which UEFA want so I doubt they'll do much more than apply the first level sanctions if any.ReplyDelete
Perhaps after it's all in place they'll have a go at clubs which retain very high levels of debt.

2)can't rich clubs just sell each other players for inflated sums, effectivaly not spending muchbut keeping the top players in thier privet rich club?

- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Great stuff as ever Kieran but can I point out one widely-held fallacy in your article. The concept of applying 'fair value' to a commercial deal only applies if a 'related party transaction' is involved. This is a well-established reporting requirement that requires companies to report transactions with individuals or companies that have some element of 'control' (again an established concept) over either the reporting party or the other party to the transaction. So if a director of a club secures the use of an executive box, lends the club money or does a sponsorship deal involving another company he controls, this has to be reported along with the key facts of the deal (i.e. whether it's at normal commercial rates or not).ReplyDelete
Whatever people may think, Etihad is not a related party to Manchester City FC as there is no common control. If there was, Manchester City would have had to report it in the previous two years accounts. They sisn't so they are happy it wasn't classed as such. All the talk from UEFA about investigating it, is just hot-air.
In addition, despite all the assertions otherwise I understand that City are quietly confident of meeting FFP, although the first licensing period might be a bit tight. They should be able to use the provision allowing the add-back of wages paid to players under contracts signed pre-1/6/2010 to scrape in. Even if they don't, they will be able to demonstrate to UEFA that they are on course to comply over the short term.
From then on, it will be a lot easier, as revenue will grow (new kit deal announced plus other commercial sponsorship deals in the pipeline) and player amortisation decline, as the contracts for key players signed for large fees are either renegotiated or the players are sold.Replies
Thanks for that constructive feedback.Delete
Unfortunately, even in a piece as long as this one, I cannot go into detail on every specific issue. However, I have addressed both of your points in previous articles.
You're absolutely correct that the first test for a fair value deal is whether it is a related party transaction. I covered this in a piece in July last year on the Etihad deal, which you can find here:
Similarly, I outlined how City *could* possibly meet FFP in a piece last December, which included reference to wages for players signed before 1 June 2010, revenue growth (including Champions League money as well as commercial increases) and a reduction in player amortisation. Whether all of that is sufficient or whether City have to rely on some goodwill from UEFA, we shall see. That piece can be found here:
An excellent article as usual.Delete
I guess you will be doing a new article on City when the accounts are published at some point in October. The guess by the more astute City fans is the City will fail FFP criteria by somewhere between £65m and £85m this season and around £25-£35m the following season. A good 60% of the failure being due to the effects of player amortisation.
BTW - Most of the decrease will be from an increase in commercial revenue. However, the recent Silva deal is a sign of things to come - long contract extensions for team players - for though his salary goes to near £200k a week if City are successful it remains at £120k if they are not successful. It will also improve City's short term FFP position over the next two years by reducing his component of the amortisation 'loss' by more than his salary increase.

Question, could Abramovich go and buy Chelsea a new bigger stadium, outlay the money himself so no debt to the club and then inject the sale of the current stadium/land into the clubs funds, would this be allowed?ReplyDeleteReplies

He can simply inject new equity capital sufficient to buy a new stadium. This would not be a profit and loss account matter.Delete
The question is whether he would want to put in another £500m into the club as he seems to have already put in about £700m.
But then again it was never really his money but that of the Russian people.
Excellent piece, Swiss.ReplyDelete
We thought that City and/or Chelsea and/or one of the Italian power (in the face a really tough economic issues) might be the test case for UEFA's willingness to enforce FFP firmly. But Zenit and PSG seem to have lapped them.

What a cute original idea. Nice job and great tute.ReplyDelete
love this quilt -so bright and clean and crisp... your quilting on it is fantastic too! Looks like something I could actually do! ;)
question - b/c I've just started quilting on my Bernina.. I just started recently stitching in the ditch using my walking foot... when you start and stop what do you do? stitch in place a few times then lift the needle and move? then anchor again??? do you leave a long thread to later burry? or do you cut it off?
I'd love to get more machine quilting tips from another Bernina user. thanks!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
WoW You are the best tutor on the BLOC!ReplyDelete

I love this and can't wait to try it. Love your blog! Merry Christmas from North Carolina!ReplyDelete
I LOVE this quilt! I can't wait to make it using my stash:) Thanks for the tutorial.ReplyDelete
Oh this is a great idea for use of the scraps and the stash.............thanks for the easy peasy tutorial.ReplyDelete
I just finished a quilt with 1930's fabrics and had a bunch of 1 1/2" strips left over. Now I have a plan for the left overs. Thanks for the tute!ReplyDelete
I've started my quilt like this, only instead of strip piecing, each little square is 1.5" because that is the smallest scrap I save. I'm loving it. Thanks for the tutorial.ReplyDelete
I made a couple of sample blocks and they are 5" not 5 1/2" . Everything lines up but what did I do wrong?
Can you help?
Hi LindieLee: Leaving a comment here for you as I am not able to contact you any other way:
The block should measure 5 1/2 inches square when you are finished.
The finished center square should measure 3 inches x 3 inches and the width of the borders 1.25 inches on both sides of the center square.
That definitely = 5 1/2 inches. What measurements do you have?
Thank you for the reply. I made two blocks that are both 5" square. The finished white square is 2 3/4". The patched border is 1 1/4".
I'm going to try it again. I'm working on a loaner sewing machine - checking the seam guide....it's set at 1/4".
Ya know, I can just go with it - shrugging shoulders in a quandary.
Oh my, I'm so glad that I found your blog. It's fabulous!ReplyDelete
This would make an excellent group quilt as well - each person could do one pieced block and write their name and date in the center with permanent ink.ReplyDelete
Love the quilt and the tutorial...
Thanks from a beginning quilter. Just completed my first project two days ago , a rag quilt
very generous of you to share you quilt, thank you sincerely

Happy Monday! These quinoa patties are a delicious meatless dish, they almost make me think I'm eating a chicken cutlet or meatball, without the meat of course yet they are packed with protein and nutrients from quinoa and spinach.
I'm really excited about this recipe adapted from Heidi Swanson's cookbook Super Natural Every Day.[1] Her original recipe calls for kale, but since I made them on a whim, all I had was spinach and that worked out just fine. My (meat-loving) husband even thought they were great.
These actually made enough for several meals, so I had one topped mine with a poached egg for breakfast which was super yummy, and the rest I served as a main course for dinner with a big avocado salad and quite felt satisfied. I can't help thinking how good this would be with melted cheese on top in place of a burger to make it more of a veggie-quinoa burger. May have to try that soon! These patties are inexpensive to make, can be adapted for gluten-free diets, they are vegetarian which is also perfect for Meatless Mondays and are made with clean ingredients. Hope you enjoy!!
Quinoa and Spinach Patties
Servings: 7 • Serving Size: 2 patties • Old Points: 5 pts • Points+: 6 pts
Calories: 236.2 • Fat: 7.4 g • Protein: 11.4 g • Carb: 30.5 g • Fiber: 3.2 g • Sugar: 1.9 g
Sodium: 429.5 • Cholesterol: 110.0 mg
Adapted from Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Every Day[2]
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 4 eggs, whisked
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3 large scallions, sliced thin
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup steamed spinach, chopped (frozen is fine)
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs (for GF, be sure to use GF breadcrumbs)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place the grains in a medium sauce pan with 2 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until quinoa is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes. Let it cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, eggs, Parmesan, scallions, garlic, salt, steamed spinach, and breadcrumbs. Let everything sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. The batter should be moist, but not runny. Form patties 1/4 cup each.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. In 2 or 3 batches, cook the patties covered for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until browned and golden.
Makes 14 patties.

Lmao !!!ReplyDelete
LOL this is too good.ReplyDelete
After seeing this video, I think Victor should stick with his day job of dancing/acting/singing/being awesome. Maybe as revenge, you should of put makeup on him in a not so flattering way! hahaReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 7, 2012 at 5:50 PM
I get really annoyed at the people who make comments like, "You're married!" or "What would your husband think?!"ReplyDelete
It's 2012, people. A married woman is allowed to speak to another man without being stoned for adultery.
I thought the video was super cute, Jen. Thanks for sharing.Replies
Agreed! Those comments were ridiculous. This video was so funny. I loved Jen's reactions and Victor's commentary throughout. It was truly entertaining.Delete

I especially liked his monologues. He tried so hard to BS "deep meanings" without laughing. And you- for a minute, I didn't know if you wanted to laugh or cry. >D Great video. I normally don't go for makeup videos, but this one was well worth watching.ReplyDelete
This was hilarious! Thanks for sharing. My bf said that it's very techno-futuristic look! WahahahaReplyDelete

BlushOff [Beauty Blog]
Oh is that what you called statement? Yeah everything was under control.From the color selection up to the brush application it was hilarious! hahaha.Victor you are awesome! What you came up with Jen's makeup is something good for this coming November! lol.ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed watching it! I think Jen learned something from Victor, that, you no longer need the false eyelashes just draw it randomly. And you can use the powder brush for the e/s application slash blush applicator afterwards.
We wanted to see next time your hubby to do your makeup :).
wish it was your husband doing your makeup...ReplyDelete
everytime he says "you know what?" that basically means "you are screwed"ReplyDelete
Oh you know what? Victor knows bronzer and false lashes. My husband would be like "what's that?". So Jen, you know, could have been worse. JK. You guys are so much fun to watch!ReplyDelete

I can't even. That was so hilarious! I could see it that you were asking yourself, "what have I gotten myself into?" when Victor started using the brushes then I could feel an "OMG" moment when he used the eye liner to your lips.

Edwardian .90 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring
When you purchase a ring at Lang Antiques the first sizing is complementary.Please note the following:
- Most rings can be sized up or down one size unless noted and sometimes can be sized more.
- Keep in mind that most rings were made to the scale of the size. Large rings are usually too broad across for a small finger and vise versa.
- Feel free to contact our sizing department to discuss any ring you are considering. Please include your phone number so we can gather information to best size you.
- If you provide us with an incorrect size there will be an additional charge for the second sizing.
- The process is similar to fitting a tailored suit or an intricate wedding dress
- The metal (platinum or gold and the karat of gold)
- The method of manufacture
- The size it needs to be and whether we are sizing up or down
- Shape of fingers - tapered or larger knuckles
- Fingers swell and change size over the course of the day, after eating salty food or on a hot day
- We have a team of highly skilled jewelers who specialize in restoration of antique and period jewelry who are experts at sizing.
- How long does it take? Sizing a ring takes 10 working days plus or minus.
- When a ring is made larger we typically cut the base of the shank and add metal. We quality control all our sizings with a microscope and you should not be able to see where it was done.
- When a ring is made smaller a piece of metal is cut from the base of the shank where it is then soldered or fused solid again.
- We use traditional as well as modern techniques in the process including lasers for platinum welding.
- We take great pride in the work our jewelers do and quality control all work with a microscope. If for any reason you have a problem resulting from the work we have done we will correct it.
- We do not guarantee work performed by other jewelers.

Funky NINE - Raspberry with green and white checks
The new Funky NINE brings music to your wardrobe. They inject some rhythm and set the pace of your outfit. Funky NINE is smooth (not ribbed), but definitely not boring, and was developed in conjunction with Philipp Fankhauser.
- Limited edition
- Developed in conjunction with Philipp Fankhauser
- Only genuine with guitar on heel
- 50% cotton (mercerised), 47% polyamide, 3% elastane (Lycra®)
Step to the beat
If your wardrobe were a band, your socks would play the drums. They set the rhythm. They hold the band together. Everything is geared to them. Funk is rhythm. Funky socks set your rhythm. Step to the beat.
Philipp Fankhauser's Funky Socks make your outfit resound. Play music with every step. Experience music in your toes.
Philipp Fankhauser's Funky Socks
Philipp Fankhauser has been on the concert stage for thirty years. At first this was always in white socks, then in black. This finally changed in 2012 when Philipp opted for colourful, flashy and funky socks.
And so I came into play in 2014: together with BLACKSOCKS, Philipp launched the first models in the 'Funky Socks' collection, where I stand as number one and have been setting the beat ever since.
Limited edition
We Funky Socks are unique and only available in limited numbers. Once we have sold out, we will not be produced again. However, you don't have to worry: additional models with new designs will regularly be launched, all at the same high level of quality.
Made in Italy
I come from a small sock manufacturer in northeast Milan, which makes me Italian. They create high-quality socks such as me with a great passion for detail. Three siblings are running the business in second generation ensuring that lots of socks turn out as good as me.
Top-quality materials and meticulous workmanship are my hallmarks. I am delicate, but also durable and opaque thanks to reinforcement in the heel and toe areas. I am made from 50% mercerised cotton which gives me my silky, wash-resistant shine and makes me very comfortable to wear. 47% polyamide and 3% LYCRA® make me durable.
100% good for the skin
I am good for you and your skin: This is borne out by the 'Oeko-Tex® Standard 100' I am entitled to bear.
This standard guarantees that I am 100% skin-friendly and allergy-tested. Ultimately, I spend all day worn next to your skin in a damp, warm climate, which requires a certain level of care.
