    So they call it Financial Fair Play do they? So if I'm a club that has broken the rules but I don't have £10 million to put into EUFA's coffers I suffer a ban. How is that financial fair play? It isn't what it says it is, it's just another way for football's men in suits and blazers to make money.
    If you can pay the ransom money you can do anything you want. FFP should be scrapped immediately as it's a total farce and be replaced by FFFA Financial Free For All.

    Doesn't bode well for domestic leagues upholding their version of it?

    The point here is that CAS have decided that there is insufficient evidence to conclude city broke UEFA FFP rules - the €10mil fine is for not initially being fully cooperative.

    I pass no comment or judgment as to whether that is right and fair, but that is the conclusion; whereas the evidence in Sheffield Wednesday’s case, for example, is publicly known and very clear.

    Apples and oranges.

    If you bung the person making the rules you can do what you like.

    It’s always the teams that play by the rules who get penalised

    We all wait with baited breath now on how this rolls down, to the EFL, the championship and below. With wednesday and Wigan the most concerned (actually just wednesday).
    Heres something radical as our governing body are not fit for purpose why not scrap it all and EVERYBODY cheats finances.We also make performance enhancing drugs acceptable...so now we have a proper rule book and the EFL needn't concern themselves with stuff they cant control.

    FFP is a joke anyway - there is nothing 'fair' about it. All it does is protect the already big and wealthy clubs.
