hey edds first post on here for a while , i have searched for any info on this but can not find it on here .

its the ffp new rules getting relaxed by plattini,does this mean we are going to get the oil tycoons spending big again or is it not as drastic as that?

{Ed002's Note - Right now UEFA are trying to deflect a legal challenge and are looking to relax the investment that can be made – but are still aware that they need to deal with other issues, most notably the capping of television income and sponsorship. UEFA has spoken to a number of clubs but have generally not found them supportive – all three English sides spoken to are against the plans to relax the investment cap. However, UEFA has now turned to the association of European clubs and they are keen to have some input. They are traditionally ignored but they have been actively discussing this issue with UEFA. However, they are excluded from the discussions that UEFA and specific clubs have with each other – and it is that forum that will eventually settle on the more critical television revenue and commercial sponsorship caps. There will regardless be a relaxation this summer, but it may not be sustained without ratification – and that won’t happen anytime soon. None of this will be good for the English sides. The worry UEFA has is that the two potentially largest beneficiaries both play in the French league and they may be accused of favouritism.}

it sounds very complex ,i did think the ffp rules were a good idea but like most rules it can be manipulated,will this have any impact on fsg ?

they bought the club as a investment and were always going to sell and the ffp rules suited them,could they be looking to sell a lot quicker then intended ?

cheers for reply in advance.

franky

{Ed002's Note - I don't agree with FFP - and certainly not the way it is implemented. Liverpool are one of the clubs that were investigated for their breaches of FFP and they are continuing to be monitored. The clubs who have been banned from UEFA competition have generally been put in that position by being late with payments for players - and these are generally less well off sides who are suffering at the hands of FFP. Two of the clubs with sanctions right now are "new money" clubs but the penalties are extreme. Another club managed to lessen their penalty (I don't want to go in to how they did that) but generally the rules have not been abused. There are plenty of sanctioned clubs - it just doesn't get much of an airing in the UK. As for an impact on Liverpool and FSG, the question needs to be have they got the stomach to keep throwing money at this project?}
