Another part of FFP2.0 is being implemented, threatening to deprive CFG of one of their sources of income, basically destroying the business model installed by Txiki and Soriano.

The executive committee will debate new measures in October, after meetings between FIFPro [the players’ union], the European Club Association, the World League Forum and former stars such as Cafu, Zvonimir Boban, Edwin van der Sar and Marco van Basten.
According to France Football, one of the measures being considered is the reformation or even scrapping of the loan system.
The idea behind loans is to allow young players to develop with lower-level clubs, but world football’s governing body believes the system is now being exploited.
Big clubs are signing up large numbers of young players, only to loan them out and then sell them for a profit, often without them ever playing for the first team.
France Football points out that Juventus have loaned out 41 players this season, Udinese 27, Chelsea 22 and Manchester City 18.
As a result FIFA is considering bringing in new restrictions on loans, or even scrapping them altogether.

41 players Juve? The Italians really do take the piss when it comes to making money don't they?

A lot of smaller clubs won't commit to younger players. Loan suits them and the parent club.

It's not uncommon, and usually to lower leagues in Italy.

PSG back in trouble.

Paris St-Germain are to meet with Uefa amid reports of evidence that the club has broken Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

A report in the Financial Times states a preliminary investigation shows PSG were paid significantly more than the fair market value in sponsorship deals worth about 200m euros (£174.3m).

Yeah but isnt Uefa still using like 3 year periods? Or they already looking at the current season financials this summer?

 

[waspish]

Says meetings have already taking place no decision on whether any rules have been broken will be made on that day.

Look at accounts and see sponsor for 200m euros surely that’s not fair value in there shit league

We must get UEFA to investigate supermarket pricings then if they are so high and mighty and if they are so damn clever. Buy something from Sainsburys instead of buying the same item at ASDA and you are likely to pay more, but this business is 'normal' and would be laughed out of Court if ever it went that far.
