Rossel should better write his excuse already now if Cesc is going to leave. Why the fuck do you sell Thiago then?
On FFP:
You have to somehow understand accounting to really know what's going on. The Uefa website has all the rules downloadable in a PDF file. The club needs to breakeven from it's own football sources, meaning: all revenue based on football (tickets, player selling, sponsoring etc.) have to even the costs for that. If that is happening, u can even spend 1 billion on players transfers.
There are some other rules in addition: if you invest money in youth development etc. You have a better FFP score so to say.
Don't get too excited about FFP, it's just a step, but won't ever stop clubs paying so much money for players. An old proffessor of mine is in the FFP gremium. Let's say football economics is hardly comparable to usual market economics, as it becomes rational to overspend. There's almost everytime some generous bank, state, sugar daddy to pay the debts. Governments give tax gifts to clubs, cities sometimes give hidden credits (stadium developments etc) or tend to bail out their city teams. Sugar daddies work the same, as Abramovic, or the Sheiks do.
