Could the big boys be in trouble🤔

FFP rules in European football.

In many of the European football associations, FFP rules were introduced in order to provide an equitable and viable financial framework for the game. These rules are aimed at reducing overspending by clubs and ensuring sustainable finances in football.

#### Establishment of FFP Rules

In 2011, the UEFA set forth its Fairplay rules (FFP). This was aimed at addressing disparities of the financial nature that were becoming more prevalent and prevented clubs from incurring heavy debts and being financed by wealthy patrons.

The FFP regulations stipulate some basic financial requisites for teams to qualify to partake in UEFA matches. These criteria involve limiting the losses and debts that each club can have within a definite time term.

The rule of points deduction for European clubs.

A number of the most prominent and prestigious European clubs have lost several points as a result of this. Here are some notable examples:

1. AC Milan: In the 2018-2019 season, AC Milan lost twelve points due to non-compliance with FFP stipulations. On 1st July 2019 a deduction of £7 million made due to the club unable to achieve balanced books in spite of the extra expenses.

2. Fiorentina: In the 2005-2006 season, Fiorentina lost fifteen (15) points for financial misappropriations. This deduction happened on August 14, 2006 as a result for the club’s participation to unlawful transfer business.

3. Juventus: Juventus suffered one of the heaviest punishments during the year 2006-2007. They lost the Serie A title and were relegated to the lower division after having deducted nine points off them. As a result, this incident triggered a huge change in the Italian football.

4. Lazio and Reggina: There was also an issue with match fixing involving both clubs. In the season of 2006-2007, Lazio lost its three points and Reggina – fifteen points.

5. Derby County: As a result of financial irregularities in the 2007-2008 season, Derby County were penalised with a 12 point deduction in the English Championship.

6. Luton Town: In the English Championship, Luton Town were docked ten points for their financial fraudulence during the 2007-2008 campaign.

7. Genoa: The previous case occurred in the 2005-2006 season when Genoa got demoted for accounting misconduct and had six points deducted.

8. Arminia Bielefeld: Arminia Bielefeld were docked two points during the 2009/2010 in the German Bundesliga as they violated their FPF regulations.

9. Leeds United: For breaching the FFP rules, Leeds United had a 15 point deduction within the 2007-2008 season of the English Championship.

Some instances of deduction points include; Chelsea, Manchester City and Hull City football club who violated the FFP norms. It should be mentioned that regarding the table standing, there were differences between the clubs prior to and post-the deduction.

4.3 CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS AND POTENTIAL BREACHES TO FFP.

Today, various clubs are being investigated under the FFP’s infringements. For instance, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Everton are being investigated.

An analysis of Chelsea and Man City breaking FFP regulations.

The football world has recently been hit by reports about financial fair play (FFP) violations among the biggest clubs. Manchester City and Chelsea are two clubs being investigated in relation to this. The purpose of this article is to provide insight into the current probe and hypothetically project the sanctions to be levied against them in case of guilt.

## The Allegations

Chelsea and Manchester City are accused for being into violation of FF rules. They are a set of rules laid down by UEFA so as to ensure equitable financial norms across clubs and prohibit excessive expenditure which may lead to undue advantage during competitions.

## Potential Points Deductions

The two English clubs may lose a considerable number of points should their violations against the FFP prove as true. However, the actual point reduction will depend upon the nature of alleged violations and arbitration of respective regulators.

## Everton's Points Deduction

This article focuses primarily on Chelsea and Manchester City but it is noteworthy to point out that Everton also have a history of point deductions. Nevertheless, the issue concerning Everton’s punishment has nothing to do with an FFP violation.

## Combined Points Deductions

It goes without saying that if all the three sides, Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton, received equal penalties at one, this will considerably affect their places in league’s standings. The total number of points to be shaved off and respective positions would vary depending on how each ruling body ruled.

The footballing fraternity is still licking its wounds after the shadow casted by the investigations into whether Chelsea or Manchester City broke the rules of FFP. Guilty verdicts would be disastrous as they could mean some possible points deductions that may significantly affect the league table and relegation combat. The only thing that we can be sure about is that these investigations will reveal their truth, while the future has yet to judge the destiny of these societies.

Finally, the FFP guidelines are essential towards promoting economic equilibrium as well as healthy competition in Europe’s football arena. Many clubs in different times were issued points deduction because they violated the above mentioned rules. Nowadays such practices are still practiced as control and monitor of compliance with the law. However, how the deductions would affect the league table or the avoidance of relegation for clubs like Chelsea or Everton would depend on their individual situations as well as the remaining matches.
