^^But if they take actions that will reduce players ability to get higher salaries that is anti-worker and probably also violates some EC regulation on labor wages.
Yup, but we have rules that curbed human rights for purpose of a higher cause. I had examples of that in another thread, just forgot them and the thread I posted it. Getting old you know. One example is known to you. It's the banning of U18 soccer players to sign a contract being from outside the EU.
So PSG are banking the purchase of Mbappe next year so they can get around the current FFP regulations: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/30/psg-kylian-mbappe-neymar-uefa-financial-fair-play The whole thing is a joke and I don't think UEFA will ever be able to come up with a lock tight way to enforce things. As much as we would all like to see something happen, there will always be loopholes for those clubs that have big television money or petro-euros.
http://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de...euchler-vor-die-Kamera-treten-id42524791.html This German news paper in it's editorial comments on Hoeness hypocritical stance. He doesnot mean what he says. The Dutch Algemeen Dagblad on the other hand believes he ment it. "Hoeness bekritiseert koopwoede: Niemand is 100 miljoen waard Geen enkele voetballer is honderd miljoen euro of meer waard. Dat stelt Uli Hoeness, de president van Bayern München, in een interview met SportBild. ,,Zulke bedragen zullen wij nooit voor een speler uitgeven'', aldus Hoeness." To be honest, I think the German newspaper editor is the one who's right. Der Ulli recently left jail for being dishonest to the taxman. It's just a bridge too far to believe he's sincere this time.
Article on the financial managent of PSV by Eindhovens Dagblad 6th of sept. 2017: https://www.ed.nl/psv/kanttekeningen-bij-de-financieneuml-le-situatie-van-psv~a0cecdb9/ What I find worrying is that too much of the budget depends on players sold and the ( now missed ) revenues of European competition. The premise in these uncertain times for Dutch top clubs should be that the core budget consists of stone hard income and extra expenditure only when extra revenues are generated and in the pocket.
Hey everyone, I'm doing my masters in sports management and need participants to take part in a short ten item questionnaire about what our experiences as a fan of african football are. The questionnaire will take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. Here is the link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Q583BNQ Thanks
Isn't this the same approach that led them into trouble several years ago? IIRC, the good citizens of Eindhoven had to bail the club out.
If I remember correctly that time they got into trouble because they had too many high earning players under contract, without having the budget and revenues/reserves balanced. The article Ilinked tells the situation is different from those days. But I feel they still are sailing in dangerous waters.

Ceverin, the UEFA president, has announced to develop measures in lthe light of recent developments in Europe. In Europe clubs are being taken over by countries disguised as investor companies. See ManCity and PSG. This could have serious implications for the health of the sport. You're not anymore talking about billionaires with a status toy competing for the titles, but against countries with billions spitting out of their wells. Even clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United are under threat of being pushed to the back ground. What if a country like China or India for prestigious reasons do the same? In the end we could see a global soccer league run by gouvernments outside FIFA/UEFA with pockets so deep it takes the breath of normal clubs. It's impossible to compete with autoritarian countries with unlimited resources in comparison to clubs depending on revenues. What could UEFA or FIFA do? Those "investors" could simply take their clubs out of the leagues and put them in a world wide superleague financed by the treasure chests of countries. The financial brakes I used to talk about in relation to normal funded clubs, being at risk to loose a too big part of their revenues by breaking away from their core league, doesnot apply anymore with the backing of the treasure chests. Given the ridiculous amounts of money to be payed to players, these willnot object for a club to be relocated to the desert out of the reach of law makers..
Coach Fraser of Vitesse pissed by management trying to determine the play and line up of the team. Wonder how long it will take till Fraser jumps into another club? https://www.ad.nl/sport/commissaris-van-vitesse-wil-de-opstelling-maken~ab419688/ Or will he be sacked?
According to El Pais, the Chinese company United Vansen that owns ADO Den Haag, has used ADO to pay money to the Spanish FA officials, that are now being investigated for corruption. The payments were the result of contracts UV made with the Spanish about image rights of the Spanish team, Spanish coaches going to China and assistance in building stadiums. Because of Chinese restrictions in financial transfers the money couldnot be payed directly to Spain..
Merkel warns about transfers and Ceferin waggles his tail: http://www.sport1.de/fussball/2017/...rkel-kritisiert-entwicklung-auf-transfermarkt. Merkel fordert Reform Der Weltverband FIFA und die Europäische Fußball-Union (UEFA) sollten die Regeln für Transfers anpassen, um für größere sportliche Balance zu sorgen, forderte die 63-Jährige, "sonst drohen die Ablösesummen immer mehr zu eskalieren." Der brasilianische Stürmerstar Neymar war Anfang August für die Weltrekordablösesumme von 222 Millionen Euro vom spanischen Pokalsieger FC Barcelona zum französischen Spitzenklub Paris St. Germain gewechselt. Der Deal löste eine Debatte über die im Profifußball gezahlten Beträge aus. Ende August hatte SPD-Kanzlerkandidat Martin Schulz der Passauer Neuen Presse gesagt, dass Fußball-Transfersummen "keinen Bezug mehr zur Realität" hätten. Schulz brachte auch eine Begrenzung der Bezüge von Fußballstars ins Spiel. https://www.bluewin.ch/de/sport/fussball/2017/9/29/uefa-chef-ceferin-kritisiert-die-fifa.html 29.09.2017 - 20:31, sda UEFA-Boss schiesst gegen die FIFA Spart nicht mit kritischen Worten in Richtung der FIFA: UEFA-Präsident Aleksander Ceferin.

Aleksander Ceferin, Präsident der UEFA, stellt die Organisationsform der FIFA in Frage. "Wofür brauchen wir so eine riesige Organisation - für Transfers? Ich denke nicht. Brauchen wir sie für ethische Fragen? Ich glaube nicht. Wir brauchen sie vielleicht, um die WM zu organisieren. Aber können das die Konföderationen nicht auch? Sie könnten!", sagte der Slowene in einem Interview der "Süddeutschen Zeitung".
This is a pretty disturbing article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/06/football-biggest-issue-boys-rejected-academies The rate of success of English youth making it to any type of first team football is very low. We know that EPL teams are quick to buy foreign talent of any age to fill out a team sheet.
It's not for nothing that those epl clubs in my eyes are the evil embodied for young talents and I whenever I get the chance fulminate against their sickening mentality.

https://www.ad.nl/transfer-talk/koopgraag-psg-moet-zich-donderdag-bij-uefa-verantwoorden~ab6fa206/ Koopgraag PSG moet zich donderdag bij UEFA verantwoorden Paris Saint-Germain wordt donderdag in Nyon op het hoofdkantoor van de UEFA verwacht. Dan moet de Franse club zich verantwoorden voor de immense uitgaven van meer dan 400 miljoen euro op de transfermarkt. Alleen aan Neymar (Barcelona) werd afgelopen zomer 222 miljoen euro betaald. Kylian Mbappé kwam voor 180 miljoen euro over van Monaco. AFP/Tijani Goullet 04-12-17, 18:47 Laatste update: 18:51 Donderdag moet blijken of PSG zich heeft gehouden aan de regels van Financial Fairplay. Sinds 2010 mogen clubs over drie jaar niet langer een tekort van meer dan 30 miljoen euro hebben. Volgens het Franse persbureau AFP verwacht een specialist dat PSG de transfersommen zal uitsmeren over de duur van de contracten van Neymar en Mbappé. Zo komt niet opeens een grote som geld op de balans. De UEFA bevestigde vandaag aan AFP dat het onderzoek in elk geval niet voor de wintertransfermarkt klaar zal zijn. Dat betekent dat PSG in januari nog spelers als Lucas, Angel di María en Javier Pastore voor een grote som geld kan verkopen om te voldoen aan Financial Fairplay. Javier Tebas, voorzitter van La Liga, heeft eerder gezegd dat als de UEFA PSG niet aanpakt hij een klacht zal indienen bij de Europese Unie. Javier Tebas puts a red hot glowing iron bar up the .sssss of the UEFA. You never know what side effects a complaint with the EU will have.
