Mind you, the debt in FFP is different than real debt b/c FFP does not count into youth development and taxes. For example, Ibra will only count as a 12mil expenses instead of 24mil expenses. Furthermore, if PSG and City spent 150mil this and next summer, all they need to do in the third summer is spend 100mil thus leading to a 50mil less than the previous years.
This is exactly the problem here, if FFP is the main catalyst (of course there are and can be other factors too) of what is happening then we are basically bowing at Platini's feet by being this drastic about it.
Any way, as I posted earlier I am happy I am not a finance expert because it makes me sick and tired how the world works with it.
