2ND SEPT 2022
more limp slaps on wrists!
Paris St-Germain is one of eight clubs to be fined by European football's governing body, Uefa, for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
PSG have been ordered to pay an unconditional 10m euros (£8.6m) for not complying with "break-even" rules and could pay as much as 65m euros (£56.3m) depending on future compliance.
The break-even requirement is where clubs are ordered to not spend more than the income that they generate, and that they must balance their books over the course of three years.
Uefa told 19 other clubs they will be "monitored closely" in coming years.
They include Chelsea, Leicester, Manchester City, West Ham and Rangers.
The sanctions applied to clubs who played in Uefa's 2021-22 club competitions and came after analysis of the financial years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The other seven clubs required to make financial contributions are AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Besiktas, Marseille and Monaco.
Combined with PSG, they will pay at least 26m euros (£22.5m), but up to a total of 172m euros (£149m).
These fines will be paid directly or be withheld from any revenues the clubs earn from Uefa club competitions.

Why can’t we have fines in our division instead of a points deduction?
Then our rich owners could budget for the fine while they spend their hard earned pennies on new players.

Rangers and Leicester.
Two teams that have already been reborn or saved from extinction.
How can they be in this state again.
Mind you the vile have been in administration times than I've ever tried pineapple (disgusting stuff).

Where does the fine money go? I hope it's to charity and something like developing grass roots football, especially in less well-off countries.
Even a tiny percentage of the fine money could have saved clubs like Bury and Macclesfield.

They spent 60m on new players when we got relegated... it put us back 4 seasons. We aren’t going to ever get out of this division while yo-yo clubs dominate the top of the table every season. Just because mistakes were made when we were first relegated doesn’t mean it isn’t the best option for a return. |

PSG, home of the 200 million bid to get Neymar.
They're part of the disease of why "fair play" is just a joke.
Until Stoke can pay 200 million for a player, there IS NO parity!
Only joking as I don't want a $200 million Imbula II here.

I think if you got creative and took this piss on sponsorship artificially inflating your income they might be more cautious about giving you any more than a financial penalty. It's not the same cut and dried situation as exceeding your limit on the losses. We're taking a patient approach and making the case for the regs to be altered but if they're just altered to a system rigged in a slightly different way somebody has got to challenge them. UEFA have been threatening some of those clubs for years without ant sporting sanctions. |

What’s the point of fining PSG or Man City etc. they’ll just pay up and laugh. If they were serious they’d relegate them or ban them from Europe for ten years But that’s a real punishment for a big club so it’s never going to happen
