Henry calls on UEFA to act against clubs ignoring FFP rules

Isn't Borini considered a homegrown player?

[Megadrive Man]

The likes of Ibe and Rossiter won't be included as home grown players as the home grown rule only applies to players over the age of 21.

Isn't Borini considered a homegrown player?

 

I'm not sure as he was 16 when he joined Chelsea but I think he was only there two years. You need  to be at a club for 3 years between the ages of 16 and 21.

Be interesting to know where the 50m will go.  Hopefully to grassroots or junior football but i kind of doubt it.

Uefa guidelines stipulate that teams who qualify for Champions League or Europa League, and therefore come under microscope of FFP, must limit losses to an agreed amount

 

Liverpool could be at risk of having nearly £7 million in Champions League prize money withheld as Uefa investigates whether or not the club has breached Financial Pair Play regulations.

 

Due to Liverpool's absence from either of last season's European cup competitions - the Champions League and Europa League - they were not required to submit acounts for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. However, having now qualified for Europe's premier club competition, they are now subject to FFP.

 

Uefa guidelines stipulate that the teams who qualify, and therefore come under the microscope of FFP, must limit their losses to an agreed amount. For the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, who were present in last season's Champions League, that figure was £35.4m over two seasons.

 

Man City and French giants PSG were the two most high-profile teams who exceeded this amount and were penalised heavily.

Andrea Traverso, head of Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play at Uefa, told The Times: "As soon as a club qualifies [for a Uefa competition], it enters the scope of Financial Fair Play. So they have to immediately submit all the information to Uefa."

 

Over the summer, Liverpool, and the other sides not involved in Uefa competition, submitted their accounts for the past two seasons and they showed significant enough losses to potentially be among clubs referred to the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB).

 

Uefa has not confirmed which clubs will be deemed "at risk". Last season it was 76 but, ultimately, only nine were sanctioned. And this season "at risk" clubs could have the first instalment of their Champions League prize money held back while they are investigated.

Apparently 30k Everton fans had been tweeting Uefa with their official calculations down to the penny. Demanding a top top proper and full investigation.

 

In all seriousness, nice bit of propaganda for FSG when people demand the latest invogue midfielder in Jan...

Damn, read it, and lost it all when I read "a 3rd breast implant"...

 Its to be distributed among the clubs who complied with FFP last year including the Manc's Real Madrid and Chelsea. 

 

 If the FFP was being true to its stated objective which is to prevent the likes of H&G types from bankrupting clubs then the money should go into a reserve bailout fund to help clubs like Rangers etc transition to new ownership. Instead as is true of many things its really all about protecting the status quo.

It was a vehicle designed to achieve more power and influence for Crapini the crooked bastard. Not into having his gifts scrutinized though. 15k watches are ok it would seem.

[El Dangerous]

Crapini? That's not very cool, Iceman.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

A bit of a nothing article, that. All it really says (repeatedly) is that teams competing in UEFA competitions are subject to FFP rules. Well, pas de poo, Poirot! There's nothing to substantiate the snide innuendo that LFC would be particularly at risk.

[sir roger]

The magic word ' could ' seems very prevalent in that article.

[Reckoner]

haha tragic, after no marks city and chelsea shamelessly buying football despite having zero herritage or fans , just with billions of oil blood money to artificially over inflate the market and almost kill competition, Liverpool having a net spend of £36 million one year is going to get them in trouble.?

the telegraph 'could' go fuck a sparrow.
