Re: Wall St Journal Article on FFP
Although nothing to do with FFP [just yet], readers would do well to read today's news regarding AS Monaco. Apparently, the French government want to end the principality's tax haven status whereby there is no such thing as income tax. They also want Monaco to relocate their headquarters to France to ensure they operate on an equal basis to the rest of that league. There is also a dispute over a certain sum of money [£168m] if they refuse to move. Interesting stuff, and although it isn't at first sight anything to do with FFP, it is really as Monaco want to sign prestige players and the exemption from Income Tax is certainly a big pull for them.
