Financial Fair Play investigation

Well if you look at the regulations there is some potential change this year.

One League can pass it to the other to continue an Investigation seemingly. However it's a grey area.
That would be interesting but I assume that is a potential change / proposal and as it currently stands there is no remit to penalise a club in a different league

Well I will see if I can print screen on phone but may duplicate one or two bits being on phone.

Like the FFP charge at PL level thing, it would be a test case but this is a new addition as of this season.

Chelsea have today extended enzo Fernandez contract until 2032.

Madness
I know they are trying to be clever with amortisation so their spending doesn't destroy them for FFP, but I wonder if they have ever paused for a moment to wonder why the rest of football isn't doing the same. It's not something so ingenious no one else will have thought of it, there's obviously a number of reasons they don't.

Not least the compounding effect of long amortisation - it makes this year 'cheaper' but they're loading up the costs of future years as the costs will appear for years to come.

It's like taking a loan of 200 a month to buy a new car over 10 years, when you want a new one in 5 years time you are still paying out 200 a month for your old car before you take a new loan for another 200 a month - now its costing you 400 a month. If you're budget allows for 300 a month you can't afford it so have to get a cheaper car the second time.

Chelsea will presumably want to spend and spend every year, at some point they will run out of FFP wiggle room due to earlier years ongoing amortisation costs.

I suspect they are hoping for either big sales to offset, big increase in allowable loss figure, or scrapping of financial rules altogether in the 5 year time frame.

I think they’re going to cut loose academy players like Gallagher and maybe Mount this Summer. That will be pure profit.

Yes that's likely. Will need sustaining for many years to offset the 22/23 spending for the length of the contracts so its not without risk as a strategy.

Didn’t uefa say that they didn’t care about contract length, you can only amortise over 5 years max.

I swear I read that a month or two ago somewhere.

Both the Premier League and EFL P&S rules for demoted PL clubs apply in subsequent seasons whilst 'parachute payments' apply (these apply for three years, after relegation, essentially would be the end of the PL monitoring window)

Newly promoted clubs from EFL and/or to PL also have both sets of rules applying during the relevant 'monitoring windows' for the respective leagues they were in (which was last three years)

That is my understanding from having read both sets of rules

i.e. Everton if relegated could still be penalised by the Premier League referral to independent commission, and that would be undoubtedly taken out of the 'parachute payments' etc etc

Sanctions could be passed to EFL to apply and the rules suggest PL and EFL will cooperate in that situation to apply them and they respect each other's rules and disciplinary processes.
