Platini just wont go away will he...

People, people. Fear not these proposals for the offer no threat to our club.

Verily I say unto thee that we can relax and remain focussed on the trophies soon to be arriving.

Here are the publicly accepted limitations of the plans from Rumminegge (sp) and Platini -

As long as a club derives income from signed and agreed sponsorships or partnerships then that is OK within the new rules.

Owners can only put money into their clubs (over the agreed limits) by buying shares that is OK (technically known as debt equity swap). They cannot simply have loans owed to them.

Now since Khaldoon and the Sheikh had met with UEFA and agreed that the new rules were acceptable the following has happened at City-

4 new sponsors based in Abu Dhabi or the Mid East

Sheikh Mansour carried out a debt equity swap of about £90m for last seasons shortfall.

Both those things are OK within the new FFP rules and will continue to be OK.

OK?

He is a twat!!

The plans are garbage!!!

They are designed to protect the 'old school' clubs - which is why RM and the scum will not be affected!!!

It is massively unfair to CITY etc

but a lot of comments on here are just hot air - undertandable ranting - but we need to take this very seriously - it will come in - and it will be likely very much as intended following legal reviews to plug all the loopholes they can think of

Heres an idea!!! - we get a formal loan of £500m from the Sheik at interest rate of 0.25% - we have that money to invest and (becuase of the low interest rate) we are able to pay it back from our revenues - but that is the sort of thing that the UeFA 'panel' will rule is just money from the Sheik by another ruote and we will get barred because of it - they are seriously out to stop us

We really needed CL spot last season - it is ABOLUTELY ESSENTIAL this season or we will not have the revenues

They cannot lawfully prevent an owner spending legally obtained money on his property, they can restrict it, but they cannot prevent it. We will have brilliant minds already on this situation. I'm not worried.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Thats better.


UEFA has already said that any legal revenue stream from sponsorships, partnerships, merchandising or any other route will be allowed.

The only thing that wont be allowed, in simple terms is borrowed money.

If a club owes Santander £400m, the owner £400m or the Mafia £400m it will goes against them.

As I said a little earlier someone like Abramovich can turn the debt into shares and then its OK.

Teams like Stoke will have problems as they have a loan owed to the family owns them, so that would have to change.

United and Madrid etc are in the poop though as they cant exactly ask the fans for £1bn to pay off debts can they?

He can shove his CL up his arse when the winners of the EPL every year (us) are not playing in it it will be undervalued.
There will be a european league and UEFA and the french Hitler can fuck right off

In all seriousness, I think he's perhaps a bit thick.

Can you explain this 'market-testing' thing then?

Pratini will not be able to stop investment into a private company in any form it goes against EU law.

And as we saw from the 'Bosman ruling' EU laws are bigger and stronger than UEFA'

there isn't one is there.

How could any one person or comittee say how the market decides on a value?

It would be more socialist testing.
