Does not matter. What they going to do - ban them from the CL?

They won't be in it!

Just got into the Big Bang Theory. I never knew geeks were so funny.

Banning from palying in Europe is the ultimate sanction.

Unlikely for a 1st offence only teams failing year on year with no plan to reduce costs will be banned.

Chelsea and Man C will be fine for a few seasons.

No one is getting banned, imo especially if you make tangible efforts to reduce your running cost, Chelsea have demonstrated that in recent seasons by refusing to pay over the odds for Modric and Neymar

Our losses were £68m and in this £48m were one-off items

We are allowed £38m loss during the current first monitoring period and should easily be compliant

Our revenues are increasing and wages of players with contracts signed before June 2010 are not counted for FFP
There are also various other allowances

The only outcome form FFP will be that no other club will be able to do what CFC ,Man City,etc. have done

The long-term result of this will be that an elite clique is established and smaller clubs will suffer with some going to the wall
Transfer fees will decrease and so will players wages and individuals who want to invest money in clubs will be discouraged

Well done UEFA

Would have been better focusing on large clubs saddled with hundreds of millions of debts

Will building a new stadium help us to be compliant?

Maybe in the long run, but stadiums cost money, as Arsenal found out.

Constructing a new stadium or increasing capacity at SB is a tangible fixed asset and as such is free from FFP

But this will increase revenue so is a sure-fire winner as far as FFP is concerned

You can build a new stadium for as much money as you want as this does not count towards the FFP.
