Course it does, first question I asked my wife.

Did your wife know if she tracks back then ?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Touche.

So, they've got something on us, but they're going to wait until the end of the season before revealing it?
Sounds plausible

Remembering the fuss that was caused over the 'time-barred' part of the CAS case (not that it mattered much as I understand it).. what are people going to moan about this time lol

 

[Don Karleone]

Wonder how they'll fuck us over this time

They can't, without fucking everyone at the top over. The ship has sailed on that one.

Wonder when it would take effect, could make summer a bit more interesting

Only clubs who have won at least two European Cups/Champions Leagues can spend big money, the rest can spend a fiver a season

Won't stop them from trying though.

UEFA have finally realised that their and the old G14's blatant attempts to fuck City over have failed so FFP no longer has any relevance or value for them.

 

[Cheeky Txiki]

Wouldn't they just relax FFP? If they scrap it then that means the big clubs can no longer guarantee being at the top. I like it though, brings more competition and more teams to screw the G14 over.

 

[rickmcfc]

So does this mean clubs can literally spend whatever they want regardless of the debt they are in?

Barcelona, Real Madrid, United and Juventus will be thrilled.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Won't make any difference to us, we were cheating anyway.
On a serious note - this will do nothing to address debt as ffp didn't. Any bank who are stupid enough to lend to clubs already in debt deserve what they get. Who knows when the next pandemic will hit?

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

What a fucking surprise, just as Barca, Madrid ans both sets of red shite need to rebuild their squads.

 

[aguero93:20]

Won't stop them from trying though.

It will. That shite last season was a Hail Mary when they realised the door had shut on anything in the future, there's no way they would have risked being humiliated in the way they were otherwise.

 

[richards30]

There will be a twist on this somewhere that will still try and hinder us

 

[blue b4 the moon]

We've just won the FFP Cup ;)

 

[dadnlad]

What a fucking surprise, just as Barca, Madrid ans both sets of red shite need to rebuild their squads.

but but thats why FSG invested to guarantee profits

 

[Ric]

Is anyone other than Tancredi Palmeri reporting this yet?

This has yet to be confirmed and we don't know any of the detail but it could be that UEFA are responding to pressure from the old G14 who now realise that they are snared in a trap that was set to catch others. On the other hand this could be the result of other pressures. UEFA abandoned its attempts to control debt when the "elite" threatened legal action and a breakaway and switched its attention to spending. This hasn't worked at all and has led to conflict, notably with City, and humiliation. UEFA has kept remarkably silent about last summer's CAS ruling but it is obvious that the pressure on UEFA to use the rules to further the interests of the quite hostile G14 group was immense, and/but that these rules were so complex that even UEFA officials did not understand them! There was a feeling that a City win would necessitate some steps towards reconciliation between UEFA and City, a club which, after all, was a threat to the G14 but in no way to UEFA. Khaldoon did meet with leading UEFA officials on at least one occasion and it must have been clear that FFP would ALWAYS be weapon that could be used to obstruct City's plans to invest in the game. It could be that UEFA has come off the fence, seen that the G14 will ruin football and is taking advantage of a game brought to near ruin by covid to take the brakes of clubs wanting to put money into the game.

I may be talking nonsense, we'll have to wait for the detail but UEFA may have noticed that those trying to ruin City never seem to prosper.
