so Man City buying a bunch of players now, before the rule goes in to effect starting next season, does make some sense

Say for instance they sell Adebayor for 20m next season, the UEFA rules don't care that they bought him for 30m in 2010, all it's going to show is that since the rule came in to effect they have a 20m profit
What? UEFA arent that window-lickingly ######ed are they? If thats how they're judging finances thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I havent read the new financial rules, but that seems incredibly shortsighted.
