Thought i'd start a new thread about this as it has been touched on in others but risks derailing them.
On may 24th uefa will vote on new financial fairplay rules.
New rules.
- clubs will only be allowed a net spend on transfers of €100m per season. This means if they spend €300m on players they will have to sell €200m.
- clubs will only be allowed to have 25 players on their books over the age of 21. This includes any players loaned out.
- sponsorships made by related parties will also be looked at again. Example Etihads deal with city.
- how much debt a club can hold will also be looked at. This is a bit vague. I don't think debt for clubs building a new stadium will be a problem but more clubs being mortgaged like utd or interest free loans that are never paid back like chelseea.
This is being pushed through by the likes of byern, real and barca in regards to city and psg being state run. Unlike ffp they have asked the eu to bring in laws to back this so that it cannot be challenged in the courts (one of the problems with the original ffp was that it was on dodgy legal ground).
I think it would be good for the game. But i would love it if the eu went further and did something about the champions league as it is the major contributor to inequality between clubs.
