Let's face it, football does need regulation in terms of salaries and agents. It is ridiculous.

Does Hollywood need regulation? Is it an issue if The Rock gets $40m for a (s)hit movie that makes a profit?

Any tax so restrictive nobody (PL Clubs) will pay it would cause Barca and Madrid to fold overnight just on their exisitng contracts.

Again I'm assuming here but this won't affect existing contracts. With the original FFP contracts predating the start date were excluded if I recall correctly.

city should drag these cunts to court for defamation and recoup for every penny spend regarding ffp with interest.
Also all fines should be refunded with interest .

uefa FFP have gone about it all the wrong way and now have back themselves into a corner with covid-19 hitting the major football clubs. it must be a wakeup call for all clubs and stop clubs running up debts they can not cover

football will be hit hard the next 5 years the transfer market. players wages. sponsorship. tv money. all will need reviewing based on all fans being allowed back into grounds. clubs like united that need a walk up fan market for merchandise shirt sales just to pay the weekly bills. because as it stand right now every club is paid the same from being on tv

also 2 things i can add in football is debt will be started to called in by everybody. because every £1 the owner (banks) of that debt life better and banks will need to recoup as much as they can because new money is not there

also how many people will be spending over £50 to go and watch football ? yes it would be great having fans in but have they got a spare £50 right now

FFP is dead forget it manchester city can be the only club that holds it head above water and dare you change the rules because football needs manchester city money

yep and all those supporters who fly ferry or train in plus those who come from London or afar will have look at there finances! When planes couldn’t fly because of the ash cloud the Liverpool ground can’t be filled

be interesting once grounds a fully open for full capacity will fans come back or just can’t afford to come back

I’m sure legal experts can look into and find some legs. Nothing sits right no matter how you look at it.

Bet city owner not happy with this because if it gets scrapped we been put through shitter for years just because those history clubs will fail for years to come because how they have ran there clubs spend shit loads increase debt now they can’t have fans through door there in the shit! Yep city will lose money because of Covid but because we have no major debt we can take it!

History clubs hypocrisy...

 

[raybo]

Madrid barca Juve on their arse with debt and now need investment, all of a sudden ffp gets scrapped convenient eh. I’m expecting huge bank loans and sponsorships esp from the Spanish clubs next season

How convenient for the cartel clubs and leagues. La Liga will be desperate to attract the likes of Haaland and Mbappe, especially if Messi jumps ship, when that happens their global viewing figures will plummet!!

I seem to recall but @Prestwich_Blue is the guru on all things FFP - that all contracts signed with players pre the introduction of FFP could be discounted in the final FFP calculation but when the G14 worked out that both City and PSG would pass on that basis they swiftly did an about turn and changed this policy - after we'd submitted our accounts and hence why we failed FFP - when we thought we'd pass on a technicality. History tells us not to trust these fuckers at UEFA - as far as we could throw Snr Tebas.

If you google man city one of the search result is “why is man city banned “?
To me this is a massive issue coz this stain will remain unless we take them to court for defamation.
