there has not been an offical confirmation (as far as i can tell) from UEFA pertaining to liverpool not being fined for breaching FFP. If they indeed get away with a slap on the wrist, does this in your view make the FFP a joke as teams seem to find ways around it.
{Ed002's Note - UEFA have stated that Liverpool will not be subject to sanctions. Hull have been fined €200k. There are plenty of other clubs who have got sanctioned so UEFA consider FFP to be working. There will be some further changes to the regulations to try and create a better balance. On March 20/21 a number of clubs will be meeting together and it is on the agenda.}

I totally agree eds002, there needs to be a better balance. what is your opinion of FFP pertaining to this particular situation with liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool will be relieved that there are no sanctions but must get their house in order. There is pressure being put on UEFA to cap the amount of television and media income that is allowable for FFP calculations. Clubs have been trying to agree a cap for commercial sponsorship monies that they can take to UEFA - but after a couple of years there is still no agreement. If that happens there will be a better balance across Europe.}

But then we also need to get rid of 3rd party ownership, although I agree English clubs and a few others have an advantage with higher television income and to some extent sponsorship so do clubs in leagues that allow 3rd party ownership
{Ed002's Note - It is going from Europe with the possible exception of Portugal.}
