FFP applies only for clubs taking part in European competition. So Valencia can spend all they want this season.

And then will be fist ***** with sanctions the season after, at which point Peter Lim will step away, fine plan.

 

[ParkedTheBus]

I read somewhere that Lim will spend only 60M this summer. So that might not be too troublesome for the FFP accounts , given that they will get a lot of revenue by selling merchandise when they buy star players

 

[Epic]

Got to first sort out the debt, which I believe Valencia have a lot of.

 

[ParkedTheBus]

300M+ , I believe and the new owner is willing to clear some of it.

Luis Enrique and Marc Andre Ter-Stegen have officially joined Barca.

I was a bit cynical when mastour of milan was given his pro-contract last week, thought they were just trying to buy fans off with a gesture of bringing though ludicrously young talent.

some people in milan are now claiming it was because barca tried to poach him away with a pro-contract of their own. gits.

 

[ParkedTheBus]

He is still only 15 , so any club can give him an offer and if he accepts it , he can leave with Milan getting a compensation. Only when he is 18 will the contacts even matter.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

I think there are rules on the level of compensation though and obviously the wages he'll get would play a part in his decision.

it's more to bring to light more barcelona's somewhat mercenary attitude in trying to hoover up all the youth talent through any means possible.

Why Atletico's bashing of the Big Two is even more impressive than you think | FourFourTwo

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

ok, someone is going to have to fill me in because I have no clue about spanish football. Is this Emery guy a good manager? milan seem to be chasing him.

Heard something crazy that Atletico got less TV money from La Liga this season, than Valencia who finish 8th

This is how it works in Liga

But it is (almost)the same in Serie A as well. A few clubs earn a lot, lot of them earn little.

In Serie A, it is divided in this way:

40% is divided equally between the 20 teams.
30% is divided between the clubs based on population. 5% based on the population of the city in which the team is based and 25% based on their average home attendance
30% is awarded to teams based on performances. 5% depending on the last season, 15% on the last five years and 10% based on results from 1946 up to the sixth season before the current one.

So this just works to the benefit of Juve, Milan, Inter and (maybe) Roma and Napoli.
