“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.

Funnily enough I've just done an article on the latest UEFA Benchmarking Report, which headlines the signifiantly lower percentage of debt to revenue in 2017.

However, when you look at the actual amount of debt, it's barely changed from 2011. They don't actually provide that figure of course; you have to work it out. It was €7.1bn in 2011 and €6.8bn in 2017. So they've really sorted out that debt problem good and proper.

Hang on, you're not saying that a regulatory system that completely ignored debt has had little to no effect on debt, are you? :)

It would be interesting to see how much debt has been written off or paid as a result of takeovers, administration etc in that time and compare it to the 300m reduction to see whether operations have increased or decreased debt.

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.”

"so that every European club can exploit its full development potential.”

That's screams of allowing the G14 to spend what they want as they have istorie.

Is there any evidence to suggest that any individual club has actually reduced its debt levels since 2011, PB? I think Chelsea's has increased quite significantly, and maybe some others....

I'll check but Chelsea's £1.2bn debt to Abramovich wasn't even included. PL debt overall was €1.3bn and Chelsea's is at least that alone therefore.

Well that is an improvement, especially when adjusted for inflation, so yippee? I suppose?

Yep. Imagine those clubs with "historical success" will get some sort of exemption or extra allowance.

That quote is the biggest line of bullshit I have ever read, he says "Every" Club, well we certainly have not been allowed to exploit our full development potential.
They have done everything they possibly can to hold us back and even now the continue to do so.

Wankers.

Right, okay Aleksander, and what is everyone’s “rightful place”?!

Does he mean what I’m reading into that, as, the old cartel being given an open door to spend and the non-cartel being hindered further?

 

[pavelsrnicek]

And I strongly suspect that it never will be.

Yep an investigation based on either hearsay or illegally obtained evidence or both isn’t going to fly.
