Uefa shelves proposals to impose a transfer ban (FFP)

[denislawsbackheel]

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire thing was dreamt up as an excuse to impose hefty fines that the likes of City will be willing and able to pay. It would bump up Uefa's revenues big style and Twattini is nothing if not a money grabbing fornicator. He has gone half way to trashing the Champions League as it is. Thanks to this idiot, the likes of Shamrock Rovers and clubs of a similar size routinely qualify whilst clubs the size of Spurs and Dipperpool do not. And this situation is all down to the fact that Twattini added a load of utterly pointless games. The more games there are, the higher the television revenues and the higher the tv revenues, the more Uefa can enrich itself with it's share of this income. The result has been dead rubbers and mismatches galore at the group stages. Meanwhile, letting the minnows in and then seeding the group stages ensures that not too many of the bigger clubs will crash out before we get to the knockout stage. Admittedly, the group stages have been slightly more interesting this time round but generally speaking, too many matches are spectacularly tedious until we get to the final two match days.

TWATTINI AND UEFA ARE ALL ABOUT SELF-ENRICHMENT AND THAT IS ALL!

moronic posting again I see.

There really are some clever feckers on BM aren't there...

Just think about the idea of the top players being barred from participating in the highest profile competition in the world.

Now imagine what that would do to the value of the player on the open market.

Now think on what that would mean to the earnings of an individual player via appearance, goalscoring and other bonuses as well of course of the value of their sponsorship deals if they are not to appear in the CL.

Nobody can tell me that that is workable, legal or morally OK.

It goes without saying that its impossible for a 'private members club' to limit the opportunities for players to ply their trade based on the perfectly legal and accepted business practices of a private limited company that is registered in England and pays many millions of pounds of tax to the UK exchequer.

Rule 098 Mr Platini must attend 10 home games with a MCFC Season Ticket.

Rule 097 UEFA's Executive Committee need to leave strong, blue cheese alone.

Peter Stilton?

You obviously had to type that caerphilly.

Rule 097 Blatter publicly warns the club

......that if they aren't careful they may be asked to shake hands with Arsene Wenger and David Camolli.

Surely UEFA could get around this by imposing a wage cap based on potential revenue.

Wage caps are illegal under EU law.

The idea behind FFPR is an indirect wage cap and if you look at what spending is not included its pretty obvious really.

How do rugby league get away with it?

FFPR is illegal, end of. No one will ever be barred from a competition but at the same time, no one is likely to test UEFA's resolve enough but if they did and UEFA eventually banned said club for what can only be described as "an investment in sport".

The club could take it to the court of arbitration for sport and have it overruled and even if then it did not get overturned.

It could take it to the high court(against FIFA rules but what does it matter if they are barring you from their competition) in their constituent country to have the decision overruled upon the basis that UEFA is limiting economic growth of the country by imposing illegal working sanctions on an organisation outside their body of control.

If for some reason, the constituent country did not overturn the decision, you would appeal to the Swiss Government through the EU to make sanctions against a company registered within their boundaries for disallowing Economic Growth of the European Economy by penalising companies who make investments in sport for the good of their economy and constituent country.

UEFA should stick to the rules of football... on the pitch, not in the offices.

The subtle difference is that its not European wide, its one league that has rules in place and does not discriminate or limit the free movement of players throughout Europe.

There is also the fact that all clubs joined the misnomic Super League knowing that the wage cap existed from the off.
