Next month, UEFA is expected to announce that the FFP rules will be eased to allow more owner investment - a move that will aim to nullify more than 10 legal challenges that the European governing body is now facing.

Another five year plan of ours out the window

So our owners strategy is to be smarter than everyone else. They're not though are they.

In other words we implemented this to stop rich clubs doing what they wanted and now that they are threatening legal action against us (which we always lose) we've decided to give in. How very french of them, surrendering at the first sign of a fight.

I suspect it's more the first sign of a few million in his fat back pocket.

Sickening. FFS.

FSG often cited FFP as one of the main reasons they bought us.

I wonder if this will prompt them to consider cashing out earlier (I'm convinced they have a plan to do so in a couple of years regardless).

 

[Brizzle]

I would expect them to see through more building work before they sell, e.g. phase 2 and even a phase 3 so that they have a better saleable asset. Maybe a reduction in FFP means there is less need for increasing revenues. Could it be the end of the increasing number of sponsorships we are bringing in?

Absolutely. With the increases in TV deals if they sold us now they'd at least double their money

Not so much in 1066. What with the French taking over this country and ruling it for hundreds of years.

 

[Rosco]

PSG, City and Qpr are three of the clubs who've taken legal action

That was the Normans not the French who were basically Vikings. I might have been stretching it going back to world war 2 but you're going back a thousand years!

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

PSG - doesn't Platini's son have something to do with them?

I live in the past.

Yep. Although that certainly has nothing to do with any of this & is most definitely not a conflict of interest at all. Honest.

Every time I see this thread title I keep thinking it's about us qualifying for the Champions league last season

Gab Marcotti attempts to explain in more detail. Intended to improve an owner's ability to invest in the club and reduce the "ossification" of the current classes of teams.
