Actually speaking of FFP, we should acknowledge that Umberto Gandini, who many of you will know as a director for us, is vice president for the European Club Association (which came from G-14 in the past). This group represents over 200 clubs in Europe and FFP was essentially sanctioned with their approval, as well as the process for gradual introduction (leniancy) of the rule.
What this means for us is that we have someone within the club who fully understands and appreciates the rule, as well as probably knowing how serious UEFA are about implementing it. I think this is also one reason why we're taking the law so seriously.
I think we're well on our way to short term adherence to the law with our current mercato strategies, something I've spoken about in my last post. However, unless we get investment in a stadium and more successful youth development, we're screwed in the next 3-4 years, or at least we won't be competitive.
