doesn't really affect the rich clubs... too many loopholes, like City getting the 400mil deal with Ehtiad for sponsorship

Madrid make more income than anyone they cant be touched.... FFP isnt stopping people from spending its stopping spending money that isnt theres....

Every penny Madrid spends is its own, same goes for Barca.....

Man City will use sneaky Stadium deals to get past FFP regulations.....

Milan could have problems iam not sure about them.

UEFA Financial Fair Play Explained

Well from my understanding take couple of points.

1.FFP is on act from 2011-12 season onwards. That is current season was the first FFP season.

2.UEFA monitoring period starts from 2013-14 season in which Clubs need to submit their Accounts of both 2011-12 and 2012-13 season.

3.Those accounts have to match the break even requirement of Uefa. ie,Total relevant income should exceeds total relevant expenses.

4.All the expenses are not counted for FFP accounts. Youth development and training ,clubs social services and some exceptional charges are not counted for FFP.

5.The fee paid for sacking coaches are in exceptional charge and it doesnt count (chelsea takes notes lol),also wages of players signed before 2010 june 30 doesnt count to FFP,ever. Reason why Inter is still sticking with those oldies.

Real madrids Ronaldos and kaka's 13 and 10 million salaries will not count to FFP ever.(good one flo : ) )

6.BUT,there is an acceptable deviation in the first years of FFP.

Sugar daddy's are allowed to absorb the deviation like listed below.


2011-2013---2 year duration------Maximum of 45 million euros loss is allowed and can be absorbed by sugar daddys.

2012-2015---3 year duration---maximum of 45 mill euros loss

from then on euro 30
.......................................
ie

EUR 45 million for the monitoring period assessed in the licence seasons
2013/14 and 2014/15

EUR 30 million for the monitoring period assessed in the licence seasons
2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18

Milan is f*cked ... thats all i can say ...

Ridiculous amounts of loopholes. It won't be a problem.

# chelsea are safe by FFP rules unless they go on a massive spending spree.

Chelsea will definitely will not break even but they will come well within the 45 million loss allowed in the first year.They are safe as it is now.


# City is actually in danger.Their transfer fee counted per year is around 84.4 million euros highest on the planet and it is increasing. Winning EPl might help them but will not be enough to generate a sudden commercial revenue explosion.

# FFP is gona do fuk all on Madrid or Barca who earn large revenue.

The club has said on nuuuuuumerous occasions we will be absolutely fine for FFP.

Of course Mansour will have the best accountants in the world..I take their word for it.

City should be fine with all those loopholes.

There are many loopholes but I think Serie A clubs in general will be affected most, unfortunately. Except maybe Juve, since they now have there own stadium.

Loopholes. From the article that hrealmadrid linked...

Clubs like Manchester City also spend a great deal on things such as youth development which is something that is not counted by FFP regulations. This knocks a nice amount off the annual expenditure for many big clubs. This also applies with such things as stadium or training facility expansion.

A huge amount of money can be hidden in that + Berlu can cover up to 45mil in losses every year if we need him to.

I can see no obvious loopholes in FFP, people saying that most likely do not understand the rules behind it at all.

Adit resumed it quite while, basically FFP kisses outrageous spending goodbye (if it works). All clubs will have to reign in. Clubs who are somewhat safe are Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal and Bayern.

Clubs who are truly *bleep* are Milan and Inter, with Juventus as a very big maybe.

Its stopping small clubs from spending money they dont have a la FC Barcelona and Mallorca when they first indebted themselves

Berlesconi is one of the biggest Mafia men in the world. FFP will not be a problem for him,if he wishes to spend that is.

I beg to differ.

Those City fanatics in that well known City crazy nation of err Indonesia will see to that.

but wont all those fans just buy knockoff jerseys from their neighbors?
