New “UEFA Financial Sustainability” rules

[Blueknows]

That’s Everton fucked

and newcastle to a lesser extent

 

[Chappie]

Whatever they do now or in the future will not affect us.
To late,history clubs, you thought, we weren't a threat at first , and that the project would fall apart.
You've tried everything too take us down but we're now established and there's nothing you can do, that will have an impact on us , without hurting yourselves.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

and newcastle to a lesser extent

And Salford, should they ever become relevant.

 

[Lavinda Past]

The Rags are in the shit big time with this, the whole stadium is outdated and needs shitloads spending on it.

The Glazers won't get it done, nor will any prospective buyer unless the Glazers sell the club significantly under value.

They'll be ground sharing with us at Eastlands within 20 years, mark my words.

(That’s unless they go bust in the interim - fingers crossed)

 

[Bald fraud]

Wonder if this will hold up development of the North stand as its now accountable within FFP

That’s why this rule change has come in not even subtle

 

[Centurions]

That’s why this rule change has come in not even subtle

You can't honestly believe that UEFA have brought through these changes just to stop City expanding the North Stand?

 

[JASR]

It is allowed and it won’t affect us.

Come on lads, these rules are much more watered down than ffp and won’t be an issue.

yes, I agree, I don't think we've (the club singular) got anything to fear from these changes.

Once you realise that they've come to terms with working out that City are here to stay, the changes seem to be about:
1. Ensuring no-one pries into Bayern's (and others) related parties commercial deals.
2. Keeping a drawbridge in place to stop anyone else crossing the divide and diluting the cartel's money tree.
3. Possibly killing off Newcastle (and any other 'upstarts') ambitions/hopes of a quick (5 years) sustainable leap to the top (a la City).
4. Keeping United & Barca just about afloat by still looking the other way on debt - though they are both going to be slightly killed by the Infrastructure (and other) cost changes.

For other English clubs:
Everton look very screwed over.
Tottenham probably breathing a sigh of relief that they've got their cheese room stadium built.
Ditto Arsenal.
Everyone else - kiss your ambitions of success goodbye, perhaps putting your weight behind supporting the 'istree clubs wasn't such a good idea, no? when the club you'd like to follow with outside investment is City. Turkey's voting for Christmas is very apt.

Glazer's will be laughing.

 

[SWP's back]

Having read a bit more. Look at the implications for different clubs and ability to pay wages. As per these table. The percentage is key and has to come down to 70%. Arsenal look bad at 93% but then look at the big European clubs...

He does make the point that was a covid season with no match day income.

It also starts at 90% in 23/24 and is only at 70% in 25/26

Doubt that very much when some of UEFA’s favourite pets have stadiums that are literally falling down

 

[Kippax77]

All the way to the bank with their dividends

 

[Centurions]

Yep, just 66% in 2018/19

 

[Silva61]

Everton are committed to spending hundreds of millions on a new stadium and are making huge losses at the same time

Surely this is for new projects only?

 

[Silva61]

All the way to the bank with their dividends

And an excuse for zero spend on the old toilet

 

[waspish]

These the Uefa ffp new rules! What’s happening to the premier ffp new rules?

 

[Centurions]

Surely this is for new projects only?

I was wondering that myself, didn't we take a 'loan' for £500million for infrastructure improvements a short while back? Was it to circumvent this? I may have well imagined all of this mind.

 

[chaddblue]

I was wondering that myself, didn't we take a 'loan' for £500,000 for infrastructure improvements a short while back? Was it to circumvent this? I may have well imagined all of this mind.

£500k or £500m?

The former won’t go far

 

[Centurions]

£500k or £500m?

The former won’t go far

No idea what you're talking about, it clearly says £500million.

;)

650m am sure I read it had to be paid back by 2027 also

And the academy should help us with keeping in line with the "wages" rule.

I'm not that worried about any of this as far as City are concerned, tbh.

The only thing I would say is that some flexibility from UEFA is required on the "wages" thing. It's conceivable a club can plan players and wages to compete in the CL every year, but then miss out for one year. The "wages" ratio would shoot up, FFP failed, sanctions, screwed completely. Becomes a bit like Russian roulette.

Clubs need to take this into consideration in contracts.
1.Reduce basic pay and increase bonuses for winning trophies/qualifying as a proportion.
2. Contract allows for reductions in pay for failures to qualify.
