Hainer: Distrusting punitive measures such as luxury taxes, fair play requires really strong fiscal rules

Live Bar August 16 news recently reported that UEFA plans to use the salary cap and luxury tax system to replace the fiscal fairness bill, Bayern president Heina bluntly said that he does not recognize these measures, he believes that in order to ensure that all clubs can play fairly, UEFA must take strong measures with clearer consequences.

In Hainer's view, the football industry is now irrational and it is the responsibility of the European Football Club Association (ECA) to "work out the rules that will ensure the financial stability of clubs – whether it's a salary cap or an agent's commission cap." ”

Commenting on UEFA's plan to abandon the Fiscal Fairness Act, Heina said: "The Fiscal Fairness Act is a good idea, but its problem is that the exceptions are coming too quickly. In that regard, we must set the rules more rigorously and make improvements. ”

Hainer also questioned the introduction of the luxury tax as a punishment for future violations of the wage cap rule: "I don't trust this luxury tax at all. Even a fine of 100 million euros does not cause special harm to the clubs concerned, and the redistribution of the fines will not be of much help to other clubs. For the sake of fair play, what we need are rules with clear consequences and real effectiveness. In the past, weak punitive practices have also been modified and weakened too frequently, and they have not really succeeded. ”
