February 7, 201313 yr Am I the only person that thinks this will only keep the big clubs big and the little clubs little. Can't say I'm overly convinced this is the way forward or fair. Clubs like the massives and Chelsea will have a legacy from previous cash injections. While the scum and Liverpool will always have a big financial base.
February 7, 201313 yr Any club owner with half a brain will bend the rules to suit. Loans that never get repaid, payments to third parties and embezzlement are the future !

February 7, 201313 yr Author I'm sure there are ways round it, but there must be an element of tightening belts in it or surely its pointless doing it. Or is this just a way of showing platini were trying to get our house in order?
February 7, 201313 yr If it stops Senior management of clubs such as Leeds borrowing gambling other peoples money on their way to the top, to leave the club in the shit when the wheels come off, then good.

(but as said above the established "super" clubs will prosper (good old G14). Your last sentence is my thoughts exactly. I know its pretty much always been that way. Just seems this will take it wider than its ever been.
February 9, 201313 yr I don't mind if a club has one man willing to pump billions in a la Chelsea / city. clubs like DMB and lpool who have tens of millions all putting in a little. It's as broad as long for me

February 10, 201313 yr So Despite the name Are we saying it's not financial fair play? Well it's certainly not a level playing field.
