Financial Fair Play

[didierforever 7,349]

If the first sanction in only a 100k fine, we should break the bank this summer to sign our targets before the others clubs.

Cavani

World class cm

Great LB

and why not another AM like Reus, Di Maria, Alexis sanchez is not bad too

and we shouldn't sign second fiddle due to that FFP bullshit

^this.

if we are buying costa cos cavani is not in our budget due to FFP, then fuck it!!! buy cavani. end of,

LB would not be much of a bother. dont think coentrao/moreno/rodriguez would cost much anyways.

CM like rakitic/witsel/vidal. why not?

seriously dont think we need another AM though. our current AMs are very good and i would judge them when someone like cavani/costa/mandzukic is playing ahead of them.

I bet that cunt Platini and UEFA are waiting for us to make a bad call in the FFP to start banning clubs. As far as I know, till Chelsea fcks up FFP regulations, every club in Europe is safe.

City, PSG breach FFP rules, offered settlements

UEFA's club financial control board (CFBCB) has made offers to all the clubs deemed to have breached the rules ahead of its meeting on Thursday.

The clubs - understood to be fewer than 20 in total and including Manchester City and PSG - can either accept the offer of the sanctions, which could range from a reprimand to a fine up to restrictions on the squad for European competition next season, or try to negotiate a lesser punishment.

If no agreement is reached, then the outstanding cases will go to an adjudicatory panel for a final decision.

It is not known what settlements each individual club has been offered but UEFA could reveal the outcomes as early as Friday.

The most powerful sanction, that of being excluded from European competition, is not expected to be used against any of the clubs.

UEFA and Manchester City both would not comment but City boss Manuel Pellegrini said last week there had never been any concern that the club would be excluded from the Champions League for breaching FFP rules.

City have been working closely with UEFA to try to ensure they comply with spending rules, which limit losses to 45million euros over the last two years.

Pellegrini said: "I felt here inside the club nobody feared we could be suspended for next year."

UEFA president Michel Platini said in a French newspaper last week he did not think any of the clubs who breached rules will be banned from European competition next season.

Qatar-owned PSG have been the club under most scrutiny after they wiped out their losses with a huge and back-dated sponsorship deal with the Qatar Tourist Authority.

Platini said he was unsure if that "innovative" sponsorship deal with a related party played by the rules.

He said: "I will say simply that Paris St Germain's financial model is distinctive and atypical. That image contract with the QTA, the tourism office of Qatar, is innovative, that's all I can say.

"But is it viable? Is the value of the contract correct? These are questions that the experts must decide."

Looks like PSG and City have got off lightly. No surprise really!

I read somewhere that Platini was considering instead of banning teams who breach FFP completely from European competitions, to have a limit on the wages of the players who can play in Europe from those teams. So if you breach FFP you can't play all your stars in European competitions.

I think that's a very practical and achievable idea. I hope they implement it because let's face it, banning big clubs from the CL was never realistic.

Yeah that's true.

It will cost too much with banning, as there would be court actions and all that shenanigans.

This idea is more practical, cause the clubs will accept that much easier then anything else.

Fine, club reduction, no problem!

That fee takes into amortisation of their transfer fee as well.

Nonetheless I still think it's incorrect because Jake Cohen has Hazard down as £175k a week which I think is nonsense. He's closer to £120k.

i did take that into consideration.

the stat said 16,7 mil. hazard's transfer fee =32mil for 5 years = 6.4 mil per year. so salary = 16.7-6.4 = 10.3mil which is close to 198kpw.

Richard Conway - BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent:

"Manchester City and Paris St-Germain are facing fines in the region of €60m (£50m), restrictions on their Champions League squad size and a potential wage limit for failing Uefa's financial fair play rules.

"BBC Sport understands the two organizations - part of a group of nine clubs under examination by Uefa for failing the "break even" test - are facing similar penalties. It's believed a Champions League squad reduction could see the clubs restricted to using anywhere between 18 and 21 players in Uefa's premier competition. A normal squad size is 25.

"A wage cap could also be introduced on the errant clubs to ensure there is no rise on this season's squad wage bill for the Champions League. It's thought clubs have until Friday to agree a "settlement" with Uefa."
