sums it up a bit
last year Man City spent 133m in wages with 125m in profit, the wages have gone up even more this year and I can't imagine the profit did

An important point to Financial Fair Play is being able to sustain yourself and this is where Spurs will thrive and City will be in real trouble. Spurs wage bill last year was 67m, roughly 56% of its earnings. Man City however are in massive trouble spending 133m on wages alone from earnings of 125m. To break even City will have to shed some players, get that wage bill down and will not be able to buy anyone, at least at the extravagant prices they are spending at now. Spurs on the other hand can continue to exist as we do now and will probably have less competition for transfer targets. With the 25 player squad rules and some teams already feeling the pinch to get in line with the new financial rules. Chelsea will suffer as they will not be able to spend big money to replace their current crop of stars and we are already seeing signs of this with their bench full of potential rather than proven quality. Teams like Man United, Arsenal and us should rise to the top as we are largely self sufficient, Liverpool could come back into the frame but without CL money their wage bill may be too big to compete and they will suffer especially if they do not make the CL this season or the next.
