Fines are stupid the purpose of FFP was to prevent clubs from going bankrupt- but issuing massive fines on clubs who are financially mismanaged is only to going worsen their financial condition for the owners like sheikh Mansour, abramovic, fosun, money is not an object and levying a fine is a meaningless penalty since they have so much money.... plus the added revenues they make from financial doping (eg from qualifying for champions league, getting promoted, etc) make up for any fines they may have to pay these owners overspend not for financial reasons, but because owning a football club is an ego trip and they want to win or get to the prem... points deductions are a much more effective way to deter this behavior glad its changing but unfortunately we got f***ed by the old rules | |
