Financial Fair Play (News, debates, opinions, Platini, etc.)

[Jair Ventura]

Good thing you made the final too.

Made it further than anyone in the EPL. One step at a time.

 

[Jair Ventura]

Yes. More Ligue 1 titles to look forward to for the next decade.

*just had to

As a Barca fan, idk if I'd wanna look forward a decade into the future. I remember the days before Messi.

 

[Hamzah]

today i learned that psg have a brighter future than barca

 

[Barcaman]

Terrible idea to abandon financial fair play. It'll come to a point that unless you have a private owner with billion of dollars you won't be able to compete on a market. Is this what they want? Privatizing all the clubs? Where does that leave clubs that are owned by the fans? History I guess.
Good thing we were fortunate to witness football before it was ruined completely.

So do I. Some great feats achieved. Some truly great, legendary players played for Barca.

Do you remember PSG's days before 2011 though

Bonaventure Kalou? Shame on you!

Even then, they lost out on the title to Montpellier in 11/12.

 

[Barcaman]

Let's not go down that route.
Basic question is will this help football or not.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

There should definitely be an upper limit to club expenses on signings and wages.
Adjusted for inflation every year.

Each club would know exactly how much they are allowed to spend, based on a cocktail of:
-net earnings (with an ability to supervise & regulate the sponsorship deals)
-debt to revenue ratio
-sporting results

Indeed. I also remember that despite all of this, Barca was middle of the pack in terms of value and revenue.

I think FFP was one of the worst idea that has ever been in the history of the game
People keep complaining about rich owner and how they destroyed the game ,fact is they have improved it .look at EPL b4 Roman .Arsenal&Manu looked they are set to won the league for the next decade .then he bought Chelsea and made them competitive ,then City bought too and the PL is way better than it ever was
PSG has brought recognition to Ligue 1 .they are more recognised league
People should stop using Malaga and Monaco as bad examples .Monaco has improved since they have been bought .and Malaga had the best couple of years in their history .I highly doubt they are complaining about enjoying their best 2 seasons ever b4 returning to what they were b4
The fact is that ,FFP prevents investments in football ,and in any industry that is unreasonable and football is now an industry .France is a top 3 biggest economy in Europe .when PSG was bought it looked set to better things but then FFP came along the increased taxes .Now we are having Thohir kind of investors rather than Roman
Also IIRC ,in 2003 we were in financial trouble and we didn't have money for transfers ,we had to take loans from banks to finance new deals to build the team and be able to improve financially after .if FFP was applied back then we might have faced a dark destiny

What is this supposed to mean?
Why people should care about the whole big club bullshit? we live in the present and work for the future not the past . what is wrong in someone making a long term in a club like PSG?making them bigger club
Talking about history in football is one of things I never understood .history is one of the boring lectures you get in your schools ,we don't need it in an entertaining thing like football
There is like half of our history was build in the last 25 years man .does this mean we are a new club in success?

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

history is one of the boring lectures you get in your schools ,

speak for yourself. History is one of the most important subjects at school for becoming an educated, rational human being.

PSG fans bragging about their "value" and "revenue" when 70% of it comes from one single "sponsor" .. brilliant.

History is important but it must be remembered its written by victors so it has to be taken cautiously.
Id take psychology, philosophy and physics anyday over it ,and it comes from a guy that loves history
History doesnt make you rational ,rather in most cases irrational

Learn from the past progress in the present..
