Unbelievable Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ashley will be rubbing his hands at this news, otherwise we might have got in the Europa League through some backdoor. Won't stop him from cutting cost and running a tight ship under the FFP guise of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 FFP is bullshit anyways, all it does is solidify the current elites position How's that? Ukrainian and Russian teams have been doing well in the last 3 or 4 seasons in Europe and in the long term could take up and extra slot from the French and Italians who could end up with only 2 CL slots each. I imagine there could be other ways the FFP could help the already rich leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 "You've broke the rules by spending too much money, but if you just let us have a bit of that bottom less pit of money we'll let you off." Laughable. If you want rules, at least try and make sure your punishment makes a difference. Point deductions or transfer bans are the only things that are going to make a difference.

NUFC_Chris Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's a joke if their just going to be fining teams. The likes of Man City & PSG will happily pay those fines and carry on. Yet another way for those twats in suits at Uefa to cream more for themselves. Total waste of fucking time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It's beyond retarded. Teams with a bottomless pot of money are effectively ruining the game and the punishment is "send a little of that money our way and we'll say no more about it" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Did anyone genuinely think that anything else was going to happen? NUFC are the only ones "abiding by the rules" but you don't need to be that clever to that it's just a way for Ashley to not have to spend anything.

Guest Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 21 man squad from 25 is pretty significant mind if that part is true. Means 4 expensive players are more than likely going to not be registered and potentially move elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 21 man squad from 25 is pretty significant mind if that part is true. Means 4 expensive players are more than likely going to not be registered and potentially move elsewhere. Depends on whether they count HG slots though. You could easily get the Rodwells and Lescotts to sit out and it wouldn't affect them much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
