Well this latest incarnation will be interesting because personally I wouldn't have thought it would particularly suit the likes of united and Arsenal who were so obviously leading players behind the last load of bollocks. So what will UEFA do if they have united and Arsenal not happy but the likes of Bayern and Barca pushing for this? Maybe UEFA need to just say that it's not their job to bring in arbitrary financial hoops that clubs need to jump through, scrap FFP and just do their job of running their fucking tournaments. If some clubs don't like that, they can take their ball and play between themselves. Personally, even if some aspects of FFP suit us, I would love our club to take this to court properly and blow the whole thing apart, we should have done it years ago as a matter of principle to teach ****s like gill a lesson.

It's a weird one this
If it's UEFA's tournament and they invite clubs to play, then surely they can decide who they invite and a club could decline
Are clubs affiliated to UEFA or just to their country's FA?
Is it the FA who are affiliated to UEFA and therefor the clubs are?
Why does a club have to abide by what UEFA dictates?
If a club finished in a normal qualifying place in their domestic league and were not invited to play in UEFA's competition, can the club challenge it?

I’m not an expert but haven’t these deals been done by these “elite” clubs now so that they avoid the new rules - because they can’t be backdated. Therefore only transfers from the date the rules come in will count. It just means future transfers will have to take account of the maximum net transfer of 100m. All transfers fees could potentially drop but it will mean players will be cheaper.

I suspect the rags were given the heads up some time ago and thus the Sanchez deal was approved and rushed through.

Yes, but what I mean is that due to the new potential rule coming in, players values are going to drop significantly.

Its like buying a house at the height of the Property boom just before the crash.

Guess so. Pogba & Neymar transfers doomed??
 
So have city bought laporte and set up other deals knowing this is coming in during the summer so putting us in a strong position with a potential first 11 made up of players under 26 ? Vs utd going after established players aka over 28 and having to do another rebuild in 2-3 years

Pogba would be worth less than Utd paid for him, irrespective of any new rules.

Any rag with a brain cell would know that Pogba isn't up to what they paid for him. He turns up when its Stoke and the rest of the shite and when they play anybody half decent he goes missing just like last nigh its another game of Where's Wally in terms of his performance. Whether or not Pep could have got him playing I think that we dodged one there.
 
Could we see a similar split to what happened in rugby between League and union?
If the "big" clubs threaten UEFA, tell them to do one, & ban those that play under the "new" format from playing association football for a set period? (Cricket and Kerry Packer type scenario)
