Uefa looking to change FFP rules

“Spending what is necessary without waste”.

That's us bollocksed then.

Our furry hatted friend licking his lips about to write us a big Gregory peck for Ronaldo etc !

Typical Uefa vagueness "spending what is necessary without waste." They need to have very specific rules; otherwise, it'll be the usual corrupt sort of "Well, Agnelli said it wasn't wasteful to bribe all those referees. whereas Everton have been buying hot dogs from Waitrose instead of from Tesco's so that's incredibly wasteful."

It looks like Big Al has already started giving those brown envelopes out!

So that will be a green light for some serious financial help from a certain Russian billionaire, then? Kerching...... ££££££

So it is going from strict rules based on turnover/profit to a system based on opinion. Now how could that possibly be interfered with?

Will there be a sort of VAR second opinion so that transfers are stalled until somebody suitable lodges a bid?

Can't help thinking a lot of lawyers are going to make a lot of money.

Dennis @7. Spot on there.

So, some of the bigger clubs have been sanctioned or nearly caught out. What do Uefa do? Tighten up on the areas that clubs used to dodge being penalised? Not at all, it looks like they are making it even easier.

The clickbait (I won't call it an article) was a typical piece of Echo garbage. It cites an Italian source that's behind a paywall, and talks of four significant changes, providing only three vague outlines of what's proposed, presumably so as not to bamboozle its lowest-common denominator demographic.

I was hoping by posting it, someone might have found a better source for what is really being proposed. This piece in the Daily Mail says the details regarding the rules would be discussed on Friday in a video conference call with the European Parliament.

Uefa have already begun designing the new regulations and, once they have discussed them with the EU Parliament, they will take them to the clubs for consideration before a final decision on the implementation schedule is taken.

The salary cap is working great in Rugby League; it will never happen in football, too much money involved. As soon as the slightest hint of a salary cap and other teams able to compete, they will form a European Superleague, and breakaway, that you can be sure of.

Does signing Iwobi and Delph count as spending without waste?
