UEFA say that less than twenty clubs have breached FFP rules. We already know City and PSG are two of them, so the question is who are the other seventeen?
The Poool must be on very thin ice. If not now, then next season. Always assume Chelsky and their "creative accounting" .
Chelsea were expected to comply and weren't understood to be part of the 76 clubs being investigated apparently. According to a bbc article i read
Liverpool are likely in UEFA's sights judging by their losses announced last month. It's more likely that a large chunk of the list is made up of Eastern European minnows, though.
Hence the "creative accounting" comment. If the Poool are allowed inherited debt paydown as an exceptional condition, then they should be ok. Otherwise they will have to make a total NET profit of 70m odd Euros over this/next season.
Maybe our turn next year, then? 'Next year is our year!' They were deffo in the CL this year. Not next year, though. And, yes, that is weird to say.
Probably Monaco and some Russian/Ukrainian teams at the head of the list. Chelsea were borderline last year, weren't they?
"I don't know, could be anyone." Erm, actually no it couldn't. Financially well-run clubs won't be on the list. So that rules out Spurs and the Goons on day 1.
There was a list posted sometime last year with clubs that could affected, and a fair number of them were Bulgarian. That probably means Ludogorats Razgad, Botev Plovdiv and Levski Sofia are on it.
Unless those clubs are an utter financial shambles, UEFA should be going for a big example. And given my belief in the Platini anti-PL bitterness, then Citeh will be the target.
Did anyone else see this insane stat from MNF yesterday? please log in to view this image When teams have gone 1-0 up under Mourinho he's only gone on to lose 9 games. Only lost 3 when winning at the break. I can't stand the bloke and some of his football can be insanely boring and negative, but that's just relentless and he's done it with multiple clubs.
He's managed one of the leading clubs in all the countries he managed in - and usually the one with the deepest pockets. With the money spent, he really should have been able to produce better quality teams, not just the most resilient. He's obviously a good motivator and organiser and very tactically astute, but his game plan is one dimensional and a poor end product for the multi millions invested.
