It got taken that "concrete case" meant "solid with basis" - possibly as that's what some media decided it meant
In Slovenian (?), it looked like a mistranslation of "specific".

Cheers for that I remember thinking that he must have meant "if" there was a concrete case but your explanation makes sense in the way the sentence was laid out.

No problem. I went looking as it made no sense in English (I see a lot of machine translations every day, many are a bit flaky and maybe that's what made me think that way).

Very likely. They use CONCRETE for SPECIFIC regularly.

It took about 30 seconds on google translate, to come up with my understanding, but thanks for the confirmation. You sounds as though you have certainty in this.

Ffp phase 2 incoming

He wants European balance so I reckon it be a limit on what you can spend per season.

Aleksander Ceferin has revealed plans for the ‘second phase’ of Financial Fair Play after being re-elected as UEFA President.

News of Ceferin’s second term comes as no surprise, given he was unopposed and essentially handed another four years by default.

The 51-year old became UEFA’s seventh President in September 2016, replacing Michel Platini who was implicated in a corruption scandal.

He identified ‘unity, hope, respect and solidarity’ as the key elements to his strategy, mission and activities during the next term of his presidency.

Ceferin also issued a statement to the likes of Inter and Milan with regards to the future of FFP.

“We’ll adapt the financial fair play rules to establish a new European balance in which everyone can find their rightful place,” added the Slovene.

“The initial objectives of financial fair play have been achieved. European clubs are financially healthier than ever, the problem of debt has been sorted out in many countries, and unpaid debts owed to clubs, coaches and players seem to be becoming nothing more than a bad memory.

“Now it is time to move to the second phase of this major European project, in consultation with the ECA, so that every European club can exploit its full development potential.”

It's going to be very difficult getting the English clubs, PSG, Barca, Madrid and Bayern to agree to a spending limit that conceivably the likes of Atleti, Juve, Dortmund etc are capable of spending.

It will, the way fees are going if they say you can only spend 100m a season plus sales you wouldnt be able to buy a player of the likes of Neymar! It might just bring fees down though. Whatever is phase 2 we will be fine.

I would imagine City would be delighted by it. They clearly don't like the sky high fees, and would dearly love they be brought down. With the infrastructure in place City are an attractive option anyway, such a limit would hamper those wanting to catch up, not those at the top of the tree. Which is of course the intention.
