Financial Fair Play

It sounds like City might be in a bit of trouble here and could face some pretty severe sanctions. I think there are other high profile clubs also being investigated.

What do you folks think will happen here?

Here's a bbc article which outlines some of the rules http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27041079

I think for United we have to push as hard as possible to finish 5th, which basically requires one of Arsenal and Everton capitulating. If City get done they could be refused entry in the CL which I assume would promote the 5th placed club. Likewise if city win the league they could have the title removed -would that mean Liverpool or Chelsea who would be second get awarded it? Or is it just null?

 

I thought these were just UEFA regulations so a club could be banned from Europe but not stripped of domestic titles.

 

I doubt they'd get the extreme punishments. They'd likely be given only a warning or at worst a transfer embargo of some kind to force them to break even. Doubt Uefa would have the balls

 

I know on FM14 you have to comply with FFP regulations for both domestic and European competitions. There are different thresholds so I don't know if both come from UEFA or if the FA sets its own standards

 

I think the Premier league is still included. Here's this site

Fine or Warning would be useless.

Should give them a embargo or through them out of Europe.

Retrospectively stripping titles seems odd as well.

 

I think losses are allowed to be mitigated through owner investment up to a certain point, but then the club is deemed to be gaining an unfair advantage. I think its in place to stop owners buying the club then transferring a whole load of personal debt onto it like what happened to United and Liverpool. Owners need to show they're committed to the sport

 

If any big clubs actually get punished under this then I'll one up whatever Marcuss does when Cesc signs for Man Utd.

 

Oh they'll make an example of some Montenegrin club who fall foul of the rules no doubt. Reckon there's more chance of Toni Kroos, Marco Reus, Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal all singing Phil Neville's praises as being the pivotal reason for them to join Manchester United this summer than a big club getting hammered.

 

I reckon both PSG and City will cop a punishment. They might bottle out of banning them from the competition but I can see something happening

 

Platini c's no exclusions from next years competition.

Makes this season over for United then

Knew they'd get done. They bottled the big punishments though. No balls

 

I'm shocked, honestly.

This is interesting if true.
