FFP rules haven't stopped them in the past.

they narrowly escaped a CL ban due to them, they need to take them seriously, it's why they wouldn't match the fee for Maguire, not being able to offload Mendy is why they apparently didn't come in for Chilwell, they are having to take FFP seriously

I'm sure they are. I'm also sure they're looking extremely closely at how they can still get deals done, in their eyes.

it's not just wages though, we know we'd charge a mammoth fee for any player, loans wouldn't be good enough for them they need to sell to balance the books, but if we really want to scare them off insist of Phil Foden being part of any transfer.

I don’t think there would be any “noise” if they were not interested. They may want to do their usual trick of lowering the price a bit (let it be known they want said player, in the hope that said player says he wants to go there only, thus allowing them a free run at them), but I think if they were that concerned about the finances, then there wouldn’t be this sort of chatter going on.

Ultimately, this is the unfounded rumours thread and this is us responding to an unfounded rumour on Sky Sports, so it’s pretty easy to take it for what it is, “unfounded”. I don’t, however, dismiss it totally, as they have previous for working in this way.
 
I didn't say they weren't interested I said they need to sell before they can buy and that's not going to be easy for them
 
Cue a load of stories throughout January from the elite pundits about how shitty Leicester are keeping them prisoner by not letting them leave for fifty marbles

All so very tiresome and predictable

As if by magic:

''Manchester City have failed in an initial bid to have the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) halt Uefa's investigation into a possible breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
City have been referred to Uefa's financial watchdog, the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) and if found guilty could face a Champions League ban.
Cas said City's appeal was "inadmissible" at this stage because the CFCB has not yet determined what, if any, punishment would be applied if they were found guilty.
The club, who deny wrongdoing, had argued that Uefa did not have the authority to bring an FFP case against them''.
