"‘Financial fair play is to protect the club, it is to protect the club from the bankrupt,’ he says, ‘from the problems that they will see in the future. It’s not a matter to be more competitive. Financial fair play is to put regulation. If you want to buy a Ferrari, if you have the money, you buy a Ferrari; if you don’t have the money, you can’t buy the Ferrari. In football if you do not have the money, you can buy the Ferrari, the player and you pay him and everything, and you win – cheating.
'That is not correct. My job is to regulate this situation. It’s not to have a better competition, it’s to protect the club.
'Glasgow Rangers, Portsmouth and many others, they are in big bankrupt and they will disappear."

really pash poor translation if you read the context of the full article what he's actually saying is - with financial fairplay rules the problems portsmouth and Rangers faced will disapear, not the clubs.

from the guardian...
""The idea is to help the clubs, not to kill the clubs. I want that Manchester City survive, that Leeds survive, that Rangers survive. I want these big clubs with big fans to survive. We are happy with the rules we have brought in, with the mentality of the rules."
