Good piece on the MEN by Stuart Brennan about how Eddie Woodenone is wrong about FFP, and basically mocks rags, dippers, Barca, Real et al.
Is it starting to turn ?

The Portuguese attorney’s office has confirmed that they conducted dozens of searches on Wednesday in connection with their investigation into tax evasion and money laundering at some of the country’s biggest clubs, as well as super-agent Jorge Mendes.



“As part of an investigation conducted by the Public Ministry of the Central Department of Investigation and Penal Action (DCIAP) and whose investigation is in charge of the Tax and Customs Authority (AT), 76 searches are underway, including house searches, namely, in several football clubs, their societies and managers, law firms and intermediaries,” said the attorney’s office in a statement. “The investigation is likely to be part of the practice of crimes of qualified tax fraud and money laundering.”


Last month, it was claimed authorities were looking into potential money laundering relating to the transfers of players including Radamel Falcao, James Rodríguez and Iker Casillas acting on information disclosed by Football Leaks, although Porto denied anyone at the club had been questioned. According to Sabado, the homes of Casillas, Jackson Martinez, Maxi Pereira and Danilo Pereira were also searched.

Stuart Brennan has always written such articles, so don’t think it really represents a sea change in public opinion.

Hypothetically, if we were to win champions league this year, and the ban was in effect next season (upheld or reduced to 1), what would happen to the supercup next year, who would end up playing it?

Total hypothetical of course, but curious. Apologies if it has already been covered

No idea, but the WCC is a FIFA competition so we would still play in that.

Aleksander Čeferin anounces that FFP will have to change. What's the betting that the changes will adversely effect Mancester City?
Arabs will probably be banned from owning European football clubs. Well that will be the effect anyway.

May not adversely affect us, but like the PL changing the rule on wages this season, you can bet they will help out certain other teams!

Then someone translated it to Slovakian and someone else back to English and it came back completely different and confused a lot of us.

Happened in 1993 with Marseille being banned for cheating. AC Milan, the runner up, took their place.
