Guest DAVIDB69 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Financial fair play is more or less illegal and effectively a restraint of trade . Can’t see it being outlawed in European courts eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing you didn't know already. City and PSG inflated the value of sponsorship deals to allow them to put extra money in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Much as I hate both those clubs, who cares, every penny spent on them means less money to fund Fundamentalist Terrorism so batter in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while they punish a smaller club through FFP to show how serious they are about this, but they don't have the guts to stand up against the big guns.

roman_bairn Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Man City are taking legal action against Der spiegel.Quite right too. Sensationalist rubbish.We all know that Financial accounts can be manipulated within certain boundaries. The fact that someone in a senior position helped then to ‘construct’ their accounts in a particular manner to pass the test is nothing new in business.

I suspect it probably is illegal (or at least unenforceable/worthy of challenge) for any organisation to impose a rule which is in breach of the law.

It'd be interesting to see a test case. But I don't see why a governing body can't have a rule that says 'to play in our competition you must only spend x of what you bring in'.
