FFP facing legal challenge (updated pg 12)

Re: Wall St Journal Article on FFP

I don't think we'll find too many City fans dissenting from a word of the article, because it's what many of us have been saying for a long time. What is significant is the prestigious publication it appeared in and the author who has taken UEFA on successfully in other cases.

The time is right for a strong reminder from the EU's antitrust authorities that football, like any other multibillion-euro industry, must comply with the law.

Mr. Dupont is a European competition lawyer specializing in professional sports.

That sounds like flighting talk to me. Maybe they gearing up already to put an end to the FFP joke.

Be interesting to see if any of our press pick up on it and change their opinion
 
Re: Wall St Journal Article on FFP

I've never come close to be lawyer let alone law expert but that's what I was always saying about FFP.

It is just impossible that FFP could survive court case, absolutely no chance. It's against competition laws, free trade laws, free movement of workers etc, etc - it's pure communism rule.

Will someone go as far to bring UEFA to court we're yet to see but if someone would he would win.
 
Re: Wall St Journal Article on FFP

The guy who wrote the article is clearly the leading expert in the field and has picked loads of holes in FFP without even being employed to do so.

I'm sure Sheik Mansour or MCFC will not want to be seen as a lone dissenting voice of FFP, so it's unlikely we will launch our own challenge. However, if we and some other "Silent partners" (PSG, Malaga etc) employed Mr Dupont and his firm to lodge an appeal to the regulations, there seems a fantastic chance they will be thrown out. You could even see that whole article as his pitch for the gig.<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:06 pm --<br /><br />

I don't think there's anything "communist" about the rules at all. It's protectionist and Monopolistic
 
Re: Wall St Journal Article on FFP

It stops people to invest their money as they find fit, regulates the market from central power and make it in no way free trading one and for someone who lived in communism for half of his life that's communist enough.
 
Re: Wall St Journal Article on FFP

Some of Europe's biggest clubs are, unsurprisingly, the loudest supporters of rules that entrench their dominance.












I think the lack of extravagence by us in the past few windows was us trying to be a member of this so called elite who make up the big clubs in Europe.But it also seems that we have kept our options open on the legal front as it seems we cannot be part of the "elite",we are gonna have to fuck em over in court

Well to invent rules that protects 5 or 6 private commercial enterprises forever, and allow their customers to realise unlimited success, to the detriment of the customers of every other enterprise, sounds monopolistic to me.
