FFP

Anyone care to explain? I read Man City won against UEFAS' 2 year ban for some creative sponsorship accounting as CAS overturned the ruling. I am just curious about how this works. Are UEFA in charge or the CAS. Looks a bit fishy to me but money talks I suppose. I am interested to see how this Saudi thing goes with Newcastle and the whole ' fit and proper' test. Didn't help Wigan much! Probably more than one question here but interested in our boards thoughts...

 

I am not in a position to answer for the board but when I saw this a bit earlier it occurred to me that there are at least two sets of rules - Man City can do what Wigan (or us) could not because as you noted, "money talks"

 

Rules is rules I guess. We didn’t follow them and Man City didn’t flout them.

 

One rule for the established big clubs and another for the wannabee peasants...

 

Also, anyone know what the latest is on the Sheffield Weds case?

 

How much money have they got?

 

Klopp is usually very measured in what he says in public and he is clearly not at all impressed.

 

Man City found not guilty of FFP - fined £10 mill.
Birmingham over spent last year - penalty 9 points
Villa, Sheff Wed, Direby to be decided after "creative accounting"
QPR - fined £40 mill to set an example after over spending. (fine doesn't quite make sense especially if you have overspent and have nothing)
Wigan. Bought and sold twice and now screwed by owners..

And then there is Hull. City owners sold off assets.

Isn't it about time that the Premier League, FA and anyone that sit's in on these Fit for football "tests" now includes a fans voice as well. Pretty sure that some clubs would not be in such a mess if the fans knew what punishments THEIR clubs could face with ""creative accounting"

 

Great Post Ninj.
Too good an idea with too much common sense to have any legs on it!

 

Apparently the Champions League wouldnt be the same without them so they let them off.
