I think you have a really simplistic view of football finance mate, that is prejudiced by the nationality of the owner of a football club.
Let me break it down for you.
PSG signed Neymar for 200 million euros plus wages. Say 300 million. Uefa guidelines state that wages cannot be more than 70% of revenue. PSG were at 54% before Neymar so comfortably complied with the wages. A transfer that large would not be paid up front in one sum but paid in installments. Anyway, the FFP calculation is on the amortization of a transfer over the contract period. So 40m a year, again comfortably within the parameters of FFP.
Signing a player of Neymarās stature globally, would increase a multitude of revenue streams, merchandise, image rights, partnerships, tv revenue, thus offsetting the cost of the transfer.
The people running these football clubs are among the wealthiest in the World and have huge experience in generating revenues.
They invest in the structures of the football clubs they own, to create sustainable revenue models. Both PSG and City are now generating profit with a sustainable model for cumulative profit (which you are obsessed with) in the long run.
You seem to feed into a tabloid newspapers view of football finance and are very biased towards the nationality of the owners of certain football clubs.

Itās a baffling transformation.
If nothing else will the fact that @Cicero_Dandi agrees with you not give you the hint that you are basing your opinion on emotion rather than facts? Where is there any evidence to show that either PSG or City are a sustainable model without the ongoing intervention of their owners.

the situation in which a sports franchise borrows heavily in order to contract and pay high-performing players, jeopardizingtheir long-term financial future
Iām dealing in facts mate. Regardless of the nationality of the owner of a football club.
PSG and City are both generating revenue. They are profitable.
You seem to think because they have Arab owners this is somehow illegal. It is you that are putting an emotion to it. The figures are there in black and white.
It is up to the governing bodies to deem financial irregularities. And they like you, seem to trying a lot harder for owners they donāt like, to do so
Explain how PSG are able to afford to spend 300m on two players when the record profit for a year is 100m.
They were split over 2 seasons. Mbappe was a loan with obligation to buy.
Transfers are also amortised over the duration of the contract.

did you not read my post above on the neymar transfer?
Where is the evidence? You just gave random opinion-based information about shirt sales.
the evidence is that they are compliant with FFP.
How were Liverpool able to spend 229 million in the summer 2018 transfer window?
ok, you know more than the regulatory bodies of the agencies investigating these matters. Please forward your knowledge to the relevant authorities.
Youāre an awful man for not answering questions. You havenāt answered a single question Iāve asked.

PSG won the 2018 FFP appeal because of timing not because they were complaint. They accepted a ruling in 2014 that they were in breach of FFP.
*the 2018 ruling was closed and PSG were deemed compliant. the timing was around the reopening. Seems uefa were as desperate as yourself to nail them but couldnāt
Iām not engaging with you any more on this topic fella. Itās a one way street. You refuse to answer any questions
Man City have already been sanctioned for breaching FFP
But they were nailed in 2014. Then they signed Neymar and Mbappe for 300m in the summer of 2017. Bizarre that you think City and PSG comply when itās clear they donāt.
liverpool were running at a loss of 50 million in 2014 and had massive debts, yet in 2018 were able to spend upwards of 200 million on players. Miraculous transformation.
Man City have been found to have breached FFP. Liverpool have not.
so, had they not sold Coutinho, theyād have been operating at a loss. Thanks
