FFP

[mune ni kamome]

Just had a quick browse at the Financial fair play rules. First thing that struck me was I thought undisclosed transfer fees would be a thing of the past as they have to be accounted for. How come we are still doing this then if FFP has already started?

1. FFP currently only in monitoring phase.

2. All fees are disclosed to footballing authorities, including the Football League, who will monitor FFP.

Can't say I know a lot about it but is there anything stopping a rich owner sponsoring their stadium? Could Abromovich for example rename Stanford Bridge for say £500 million?

Manchester City's stadium "The Etihad" is sponsored by a company that is owned by their owners, so the owners are literally paying themselves. Things like this make a mocker of FFP and shows there will be many loopholes to close in the coming years.

Surely as long as the owners choose the right option or "are you a fit and proper person to own and run a football club - Y/N" it will all be alright?
