Mourinho: Rivals have dodgy approach to financial fair play

José Mourinho has provocatively suggested rival clubs have adopted a "dodgy" approach to Uefa's new financial fair play (FFP) regulations as the Chelsea manager prepares for Monday's daunting trip to the current leaders, and fellow lavish spenders, Manchester City.

Chelsea completed their January transfer business with the £12.5m arrival of Kurt Zouma from St Étienne on Friday, the centre-half returning to the French club on loan for the remainder of the season, to take their spending this month to over £45m.

Yet the Londoners have recouped over £55m with the sales of Juan Mata and Kevin de Bruyne and, despite announcing losses of £49.4m in the figures released on new year's eve, are confident they will satisfy all FFP rules.

Perhaps - but when have we not seen that cockhead complaining. I hate him more with each passing day. Turd.

Yes, but is Maureen and Pelligreenie get into a massive and destructive ruck it will be excellent news for us. Think Pellegreenback will be too smart for it but fingers crossed he bites.

so in the last week, mourinho has a moan about our fixture list, a moan about a team parking the bus and a moan about a team spending lots of money.


yet it was Arsene who was the hysterical one according to some on here

Still, at least his penis is kept wet.

Manchester City are believed to be among 76 clubs in European competition this season – about one third of the total – being investigated for possible breaches of Uefa's financial fair play rules. Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be involved.

The 76 clubs all failed Uefa's break-even calculations for 2012 and have been asked to provide financial information for 2013.

They will all now have their finances assessed by the club financial control body to see if the breaches have continued and whether sanctions should apply.

The Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino said: "This figure of 76 clubs is a high figure but it has to be looked at in the perspective of what the end figure will be."

Clubs face a range of sanctions ranging from a warning or a fine up to being forced to play in Europe with a salary cap on the squad, or even being barred from competing and having trophies stripped.

The sanctions will apply from the start of next season but in April Uefa will name the clubs who are facing possible action.

Among English clubs, Manchester City would have the most to fear having returned losses of £97.9m in 2012 and £51.6m last year.

Chelsea made a £49.4m loss last year but actually made a £1.4m profit in 2012 so may escape any action.

Or the arabs will buy UEFA outright and decree the 2026 World Cup will go to Afghanistan.

That could happen anyway in truth.
