50m is a huge fine in fairness, never heard of one so big. At least it's some sort of punishment along with the squad restriction.
But yeah, so much for kicking teams out.
Uefa.
To be fair Wenger made a good point, there is no willpower to punish teams by kicking them out.....especially when your trying to sell the champions league television rights at the same time.
This is classic.
One of the greediest and most corrupt organisations in football finds a way to shake down a bottomless money pit for £50mill? Give them a few more years and they'll be scamming on a par with the banksters.
None of this has anything to do with football. Just look at it logically. How does fining a club that has lost money solve any problems? Now they have lost even more money, right? So this won't affect money dopers like the gypos, but what about an Arsenal or a Liverpool, or a Dortmund or Seville? These are clubs that have to somehow both compete with the money dopers as well as keep their house in order financially or risk a huge shake down from the crooks in authority. This is just a way to further advantage the dopers and for fat criminals like Platini to get a slice of the action. £50mill is what, one transfer fee for the gypos? They'd waste that amount just to buy up a player to prevent their rivals signing him. Same with the chavs. And the 21 player thing is meaningless. Now that the cost of breaching the rules is a quick bung to UEFA, signing up 21 of the best players and chucking 500K a week at each is no big deal, right?
All that guff, all the build-up and it turns out as just another grubby money deal again. Of course it was always going to be that way given the bastards involved, but still, there was a chance to fix football or at least patch it up. Platini and his goons have gone in the opposite direction. There are no adequate words to describe these bastards.

Yeah, no they have a possible wage cap as well which will affect them.
The "wage cap" is the same thing as the 21 player limit - it's craftily worded so they could leave out players from a final 21 man squad for the CL so the total wage bill for those selected doesn't breach a threshold. In other words, they may lose vital players such as Lescott or Jovetic. Oh wait...Originally Posted by Özim
You watch how high that threshold will be. Fact is, if a club with limitless resources accepts the sanctions then you know they have written them themselves. Otherwise they'd hire 10,000 lawyers and have the whole thing overturned. How does a fine against an unlimited money doper compensate the clubs they cheated against, who didn't break the rules? It doesn't, it just benefits greedy bureaucrats. Same stink of shit you get from government and their corporate mates. Like Goldman Sachs being fined 2% of the money they stole from interest rate rigging.
The Euro authorities should be working in tandem with the national authorities. A 3 point fine for every £5mill loss above the threshold would be a real punishment and proper compensation for the clubs the gypos have cheated against. That would present them with a problem where the more money they dumped the more they'd lose out - the actual purpose of the ruling would be fulfilled, their doping would be curtailed, their money drug cut off. Now they can just keep spending their way to success. £50mill to them, or a hundred mill or a billion, it's nothing. The crooks in charge make that much every day on interest on their stolen money.
The anticipated farce in all its glory.

As you say, UEFA are as corrupt as the Russians at Chelsea and Arab princes at City and this 50m "fine" is so fucking rediculous its funny.
Financial fair play my fucking arse.
Martin Samuel doesn't even believe there should be any sanctions facing clubs that make huge losses, apparently these kind of restrictions only end up hurting young english players? (you mean by discouraging clubs from spending ridiculous amounts on transfers for players that prevents the development of players in the youth side). Fat stupid fuck, bought and paid for journalist doing the bidding of the oligarch clubs in the hope of exclusivity.
I don't think he uses that in his bio any more, it was drawing negative attention.Fat stupid fuck, bought and paid for journalist doing the bidding of the oligarch clubs in the hope of exclusivity.
