As part of the first measure of the financial fair play requirements included in the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations 2012, the clubs participating in 2012/13 UEFA club competitions had to provide information regarding the status of any overdue payables as at 30 June 2012. Following its last meeting in August 2012, the CFCB investigatory chamber has identified that important overdue payables towards other clubs, and/or towards employees or social/tax authorities existed in 23 cases. These cases involve the following 23 clubs: FK Borac Banja Luka (BIH) FK Sarajevo (BIH) FK Željezničar (BIH) PFC CSKA Sofia (BUL) HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) NK Osijek (CRO) Club Atlético de Madrid (ESP) Málaga CF (ESP) Maccabi Netanya FC (ISR) FK Shkendija 79 (MKD) Floriana FC (MLT) FK Budućnost Podgorica (MNE) FK Rudar Pjevlja (MNE) Ruch Chorzów (POL) Sporting Clube de Portugal (POR) FC Dinamo Bucureşti (ROU) FC Rapid Bucureşti (ROU) FC Vaslui (ROU) FC Rubin Kazan (RUS) FK Partizan (SRB) FK Vojvodina (SRB) Eskişehirspor (TUR) Fenerbahçe SK (TUR) Consequently, the CFCB investigatory chamber will continue their investigations and request these clubs to provide an updated situation as of 30 September 2012 with regards to overdue payables towards other clubs, employees and social/tax authorities. This conservatory measure will remain into force until all identified balances have been settled in full or until a final decision by the CFCB adjudicatory chamber is taken.
It's to do with being behind in payments to other clubs for payment of players or behind in payment of staff related payments currently
I think we have to see how seriously they take it long term and how adept certain big spenders are at "bending" the rules/finding loopholes no surprise to see Malaga in there.
Malaga, Porto, Fenerbahçe and A.Madrid are about the biggest names in the list, can't see UEFA being too fussed about punishing those sort of sides if they have to. Wait until a Liverpool, Man Utd, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Milan or Juventus etc pops up, then we'll see what the intentions are
True, but they are not a Real Madrid or Barcelona etc are they? Would you rather watch Porto or Juventus, ,Milan, Bayern, etc...? I reckon Man City will be a bigger pull than them too.
Until they punish City for their Etihad deal for two reasons: one for it being Sheiks cousin (conflict) and the other for it being well above market value (£400m ) then I will consider UEFA and their FFP a joke
totally smacks of keeping small clubs small. Milan can be convicted of corruption and still play in the Cl and keep their money. None of the big boys in the list and they are the dirtiest clubs of all
Not that I'm cynical about Platini but I wonder how quick they'll be to punish PSG for any irregularities
Lots of rich owners means in the end UEFA will lose control. This is a system to prevent upsetting the status quo, it has nothing to do with fair play.
Would that be the case for the majority...? I doubt it. Personally, I'm not that keen on watching non-English football so I probably wouldn't watch either
Manchester City should be on it, but not for the sponsorship deal. They should be on it for paying more in wages than they earn annually as there is a huge short-fall.
I think the reason City are not on here along with PSG is because while they are bankrolled to the nines they are paying their staff and other clubs. Maybe Uefa are going through each bit at a a time. Starting with clubs who dont pay who they owe.
