Belgian court has just ruled it illegal and put an interim block on its acceptance.
UEFA responds saying they don't accept the ruling of a "lesser court".

The general premise behind it, to make clubs more sustainable, is fine, but it was always a sledgehammer to crack a nut syndrome.ozzie owl wrote:If anything FFP has strengthened the power of the big clubs, by closing the doors on any club doing a "Man City",
What they should have done is simply say that shareholder loans to private clubs are unacceptable, they have to be outright gifts. Since the loanee is invariably the majority shareholder anyway, they'd effectively be gifting themselves the money anyway.
