Previously, FIFA and UEFA introduced the Fiscal Fairness Act, which is called FFP by fans, but the implementation of FFP has caused a lot of controversy, because many giants are still buying, and they use many other ways to avoid being punished. Now, UEFA is preparing to introduce a new fiscal fairness bill, under the new bill, there will be more detailed requirements, if violated, the maximum will be directly demoted. I have to say that this time UEFA seems to be coming for real.
Recently, the New York Times reported that UEFA is preparing to introduce a new fiscal fairness bill, in the new bill, club and football-related expenditures, not more than 70% of the club's operating income, the new rules will have a three-year buffer period, during the buffer period, the proportion of expenditure can reach 90%. After three years, violations of the new Fiscal Fairness Act are punishable by a fine or demotion. The so-called relegation means that the team that originally played in the Champions League will be relegated to the Europa League, and the team that originally played in the Europa League will be relegated to the European Cup, and a new deduction system will be introduced. In addition, Cheferin also wanted to introduce a salary cap, but it was not adopted at the meeting.
Of course, UEFA's new fiscal fairness bill seems to be very powerful, but the major teams still have room to exploit. For example, der Spiegel previously reported that some manchester City players have two contracts, one is on the surface, and the other is what the Manchester City boss finds for the players and serves as consultants for some companies, so as to get higher salaries, which will reduce the club's expenses. At the same time, in terms of the team's operating income, Manchester City and Paris have used their subsidiaries and affiliates to bring high sponsorship to the team to circumvent the fiscal fairness act, and personally, the new bill does not seem to have a great effect on these teams.
Of course, the idea of UEFA is good, but it can be very difficult to implement. After all, their fiscal fairness bill has room to drill, which may make teams like Manchester City, Paris, Newcastle stronger and stronger, and it will be more difficult for some small and medium-sized clubs to rise in the future. Of course, only time will tell how effective the new Fiscal Fairness Act will be after its implementation. I just don't know, do you think the new Fiscal Fairness Act can really restrain the big guys?
