This could go 1 of 2 ways now which could see football change for the better or worse.

First, UEFA's sanction is upheld and FFP rules stick and teams have to abide by it, hopefully to the letter!

Second, UEFA is ****ed off, FFP rules disintegrate and it's once again a free for all and spend what you like!

I appreciate this is UEFA but if Europe's governing body can't uphold FFP how can the EPL.

I think it will be the former.

The big clubs won’t break away as the likes of Barca, Real and Milan couldn’t compete.

In reality there’s only 5 or 6 clubs that are truly that free to spend, it won’t cause a meltdown and will hopefully cause a reform.

Hope so, although if we do end up being taken over by FPP and they wanna spend big, I hope it's the latter :emoticon-0140-rofl:

Even if they get relegated to Division 2, look at the memories the fans have.
 
you know there lawyers will mitigate with the punishments handed out to Barca, Real,PSG, Monaco cos they only get a slap on the wrists
 
Apparently if a separate Premier League investigation finds them guilty of breaching financial rules, which seems likely to me if the UEFA ban for the same thing is upheld, they're looking at retrospective points deductions going back to 2012 (when the shenanigans started) which would mean at least one title win wiped out and probably two.

Brutal.

It's all bullshit anyway. FFP exists so the big clubs can pull the ladder up behind them. If they were truly interested in fairness, we would have a salary cap.
