FFP Rules: More likely to inhibit rather than promote competition

It's part of being a bad loser, which is good.

FFP is most likely another step towards the establishment of a Euro league. Obviously it cements the position of the most wealthy clubs but the real problem is the gap between the super wealthy and the next tier. If that can be solved by stealing from the smaller clubs then I would think at least 32 clubs could be made viable in the long term and a league could be established on that basis. Remember, we are dealing with crooks here. FIFA and UEFA have been exposed. For them to be talking about financial fair play is comedy gold. For them to be talking about level playing fields and competition is too incredible even for the most gullible to believe. These guys are all about monopoly, not competition. What needs to happen is for FIFA and UEFA to be disbanded and an independent body run by supporters from all over the world to be created. This will at least give a couple of decades of genuine fair play before that is corrupted too.

Interesting

The little clubs need to be stamped on, so this is a very good thing.

My thoughts exactly.

Withholding prize money, from the small guys. Yep, that's a good start.

UEFA

Awfully corrupt.

Yeah punish Atleti and Malaga who can barely get a TV deal domestically worth more than a jelly bean. Well done UEFA.

How will Platini find a way to punish Wenget, even though he's the poster boy of FFP?

Platini is probably the worst person on Earth.

FFP was never meant to be about fairness, it was always about protecting the establish powers from the likes of PSG, Chelsea and City happening again.

just with chelsea and city. chelsea are ffp complient right now, city arent. sums it up really given how much the chavs spent

They will be by the time it comes round though because their is always ways to get round it especially with the big clubs.

well they need to move fast because (and most likely i am wrong here ) if i am correct, then ffp comes into play from now on meaning if clubs post a loss they are banned from europe next season.

it could be from next year but i think its from now
