Financial Fair Play/Financial Report (merged)

Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.

UEFA’s rules infringe European Union competition law and the right to free movement of workers, service and capital,


In a nutshell, bye bye FFPR.

Lets hope so, I have never seen such blatant restraint of trade

Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.

I have an idea...that should tick everyones boxes (I wonder of Platini is reading this?). Not seen it before, so apologies if there's another genius out there who's thought of it first? (I will caveat it with the fact it's just come to me...so not fully thought through...and I'm sure there are plenty on here who will find holes...but what the hell)

Nobody (not even platini) would want to discourage investment in football facilities / infrastructure, youth development etc that the likes of our owner brings.

I'm obviously biased, but don't see how any genuine supporter with 'concern' for the games well being / future sustainability would object to what I'm proposing.

Here it is...

Any operating losses incurred should be written off if they are matched by investment in infrastructure, community etc...a bit like a tax deductible item.

This would allow investors to pick up any team they wanted (hence keeping the dream alive for any club not in the top 4) provided they match any losses.

What's not to like?

Everyone's a winner?

You're making the mistake of thinking that FFP has anything to do with the good of the game.

D'oh!!!! A big gaping hole blown through my plan by the first poster...

I knew I should have thought it through more

;-)




Would be interesting to see what the response would be though...and how he'd argue agaisnt it without absolutely showing FFP up for what it is.

Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.

Anti FFP legal action started today.

Clubs can have a loss of up to 45 million euros a season if shareholders cover the loss.

City have just the one shareholder who has so far covered all losses. This summer's activities have shown his willingness to continue this policy. Problem solved.

It doesn't matter. Think PSG. Think Monaco. It really doesn't matter what Twattini wants.

Re: Financial Fair Play will not affect us.

we want to be profitable regardless of FFPR.

Therefore thinking that without it we'd go out tomorrow and spunk £150m is just twaddle, the owner doesn't want to do that anymore and it is not part of our long term business plan.

If we don't pay the money for a player and someone else gets him it's because the owner does not think it's a good enough investment, and the numbers don't add up, not because a Man Utd exec and a cheese eating surrender monkey might shout at us before Europe pulls their pants down in front of their mothers in law so they can have a giggle.

Though I agree with you my problem with FFPR stretches beyond just us but football as a whole, I have no doubt we will get through these but it's a shame for nearly every other football team in europe that we might possibly be the last set of fans who get to behold their childhood dream become a reality.

It's especially true now the Premier league has got it's own FFPR which just locks in place the established rich big clubs, with the money divide now can you ever see another team rising up in the premier league to become a force? I'm eternally grateful we broke that barrier but it's a shame that no one else gets to taste it, just the same few clubs from now on. It saddens me really.

Don't be too sad. It was voted in by those with most to lose. A basic error that they may yet live to regret.
