Only one?Are you kidding? They are more rigorous then the Chinese regime during the One Child policy.
Name me one club that had flouted the rules.
Has FFP been completely abandoned by UEFA?
They aren't gone it's just that teams have figured out how to completely get around them.Has FFP been completely abandoned by UEFA?
All true, plus the 'stealth' payments that are currently being made....basically a club agrees to pay a player x amount, which goes through the clubs books, and on their wage bill...but they also,through third parties top this players wages up with stealth payments, which as long as the player is paying tax on isn't illegal.They aren't gone it's just that teams have figured out how to completely get around them.
Take City for example. Instead of the rich Sheikh directly pumping money into the team they create seperate companies. One to pump in tons of sponsorship money into the club and another to pay for all of Man City's employees so that those salaries are no longer on their record books for FFP. Plus the somewhat fake sponsorship money inflates their "earnings" meaning they can balance it out to match FFP regulations.
Sounds more like a people-smuggling racket than a football club.Chelsea run a separate import export business where they import good young players with absolutely no intention of them ever playing for Chelsea, loan them out for a couple of years then export them, selling them on for a profit.
30 players out on loan an average £10 to £15 million profit on each one is £300 to £450 million revenue, ffp my arse.
Wow! Your username is so apt.I thought FFP rules got suspended for review when the new head of the FA came in.
But in all honesty we should have never let these people buy our clubs.
Kronke should be banned from running any type of sports team just look at the LA Rams.
Abrahmovic is just a Putin crony and ex kgb operative and still a Russian agent in certain situations like buying the World Cup.
Man City's owners are willing to actively rape all the resources of their country without pumping any money back in.
Our owners are not innocent basically when people say scum rises to the top it can be used to describe the ownership of the Premier League.

It might be easier if you explain which have been broken and by whom?
In the annexe (xi) that talks about things like sponsorships and external relationships, (along with other parts of the document) there is enough scope for a club like Man City to contravene the spirit of the regulations without breaking them. That is a matter of poor drafting, though goodness knows it must have been hard enough to try to list all the possible issues let alone make the provisions water-tight across all the different national jurisdictions and legal and financial conventions involved.
Abu Dhabi and the UAE I think, Qatar is PSG, not that that negates your point though, sorry.With all due respect, why would the PL or UEFA care about reinvestment in Qatar?
City were already investigated for that, was partly the reason they got the fine (i think?).
A fine is just about the most inappropriate and ineffective penalty imaginable in the circumstances don't you think?
I believe they also issued a warning, but all they have done is allow City to pay a small fee to cement a position where the base for all their calculations is higher than that for most competing clubs. Future performance and transgressions will be measured against an artificially high base, so what has it achieved other than to reinforce City's advantage?
