    In 1971, Peter Sloane published an article titled The Economics of Professional Football: The Football Club As A Utility Maximiser. It laid bare the ideological differences between the North American and European sporting cultures. In the United States, there had always been an assumption that sports teams should be ‘profit-maximisers’, and therefore be organised as ‘closed’ leagues to protect the sports clubs against the economic penalty of relegation. Conversely, in Europe, where leagues were ‘open’ and had promotion and relegation, ‘utility maximisation’ - the desire to prioritise sporting success - was the true objective. Profit, or underwriting losses, was only important insofar as it was necessary for a club’s long-term stability and survival. This economic concept is the bedrock behind the implementation of Financial Fair Play.

      Interestingly if you watched the video the reasons financial fair play was implemented should mean Manchester City should be in the all clear, they are currently at little risk of going bankrupt and are strong financial. It is the ulterior motive of keeping the existing big clubs at the status quo is why uefa go after city and psg.

    As the video stated, it's important to note that keeping the big clubs happy was also an important part of FFPs creation. FFP would be just as effective if it regulated debt instead of net spending. But by regulating net spending you make it harder for new PSGs, Man Citys, Leipzigs, and Hoffenheims to gain seats at the table. From the big clubs point of view, it's about protecting their own hegemony.

      There are justifications for disliking club ownership by governments and corporations, however I don't see anything wrong with a Hoffenheim, where a boyhood fan took control of his club and lead them to glory. To me, fans who dislike Hoffenheim just don't want to see change to the status quo.

      @aljanat5 I agree. Financial Fair Play was necessary, but it's poorly done. Teams that are already rich will always find a way. Teams that are growing will be stopped by these regulations. There are many weird cases with FFP rules. Dinamo Zagreb earned a lot of money once, four years later they wanted to spend that money. That was a clash with FFP, because they spend more than they earned in last three years. Russian team Tosno was under heavy debt, they were relegated from top Russian division, but somehow won Russian Cup in the same season. That would mean a Group Stage of Europe League for them and enough money to pay debts, but because of the FFP, they weren't allowed to enter Europe League and now they are bancrupt; had to start a phoenix club in some lower division.

    • @goranmilic442
      @goranmilic442 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @aljanat5 Dinamo could have done that, but legal maneuvers should not be what FFP is about. FFP should be about bad loans, unmanageable debt, from Manchester Utd to Boston Utd, in football there is obviously a financial bubble, there is an opinion there that football is always growing so banks give such loans to clubs that actually can't be payed back. FFP should not punish teams that spend money they actually have.
      I wonder who would be opposed to Tosno playing Europa League. It's in everybody's interest for them to have the money for paying debts and not go bancrupt.
      It would be wise for Krasnodar or Arsenal (T) to raise their own talents, but you can't order clubs to be wise. If Western teams can have oil money, loaning, foreign talents, so can Eastern.

      It's the fans of other clubs who will never be able to compete financially no matter what happens that are the real victims.

    FFP is a poor attempt at cost control. Till you have a hard limit on wages and transfer window budget, FFP simply will not work because money can be "earned" in many ways.
    American sports leagues like NFL and NBA have hard salary caps to make sure middle of the road teams actually have a shot at being competitive unlike soccer leagues in Europe. Without a hard cap, Everton and West Ham are forever mid table teams.

    I agree that regulations need to be in place, and not just in football. It's unfair how the taxpayer is the last in the queue to get paid, and it makes no sense how the banks, after gambling with money irresponsibly, got bailed out. In such a case, legislation should be in place not only to prevent organisations from acting irresponsibly, but also to make sure they can't get away with it.
    However, there is also a hidden agenda in the fair play rules, and that is one to preserve the dominance of the currently established powers. If, let's say, a billionaire comes and actually wants to spend loads of money on the club, even if he doesn't generate profit from it. Give the warranties are given that he can pay whatever is needed if they decide to pull out, why is that a problem? Why are Manchester City punished?
    Yes, they say it's to protect "competition" in football, but that is nonsense. If anything, such laws discourage billionaires from taking on mediocre clubs and turning them into rising powers.
    Just for the record, I'm not arguing with the fact the the money invested both in Manchester City or Leicester is "dodgy money" and controversy surrounds those involved, but that's a different story.
    The fact is, while pretending to promote financial stability, the fair play rules serve a hidden agenda of preserving the dominance of the currently established powers.

    Hi Tifo ,I have a question
    If financial fair play was introduced to stop clubs from going bankrupt because of over-leveraging and spending the money. Why isn’t an owner of the club allowed to spend his own money to the club as he/she is not taking any debt from anyone.
    For example, why can’t elon musk with his net worth 200billion buy a football club worth 5-10billions and spend his own money 5-10billions in it’s development and renovation? You can’t tell him not to spend his own earned money to his own club if he wants to. Isn’t that like saying Tesla company can’t buy and invest in new technology with Elons money because other car company like toyota, honda, bmw car company doesn’t have similar level of rich owner and can’t compete with Tesla technology? Since,football has already become a business in last 30-40years.

    FFP came about because all of the traditional big clubs of Europe got worried when teams like Chelsea, Man City, PSG, started getting bought out by billionaires who could inject a ton of cash into the club and buy the big trophies, increasing the competition at the top table, the big clubs with the big histories like liverpool, man utd, barca, real, juve, milan, bayern, all got worried about losing their status and fan base, so they threatened to break away and form their own league, which prompted UEFA to do something about it, that's why FFP was introduced, it's all about keeping the big dogs big and the small dogs small, the result of FFP is that if you want to invest in a football club then you better invest in a club that is already huge, or you will never win anything, any team that gets close to breaking into that elite bracket these days just gets torn to pieces in the transfer market, and there's nothing they can do about it, as per Monaco, Ajax, Leicester

    • @TheBenj30
      @TheBenj30 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's not why it was introduced, and if you support a club that became successful because of throwing money it, then I am truly concerned, as it is a rule intended on protecting your club, instead of your owners.
      FFP is quite a simple concept, people like to pretend it's a confusing anti-fairness rule when it really isn't. The concept is that if your club gets purchased by an owner, he can't spend money that the club doesn't have, and people think this is unfair, until you take into account the scenario where your owner sells the club, you now have a club which spends more money than it earns.
      So, you've got a club that doesn't make money, requires a yearly cash injection of tens of millions on-top of the hundreds of millions you paid for the club - who in their right mind is going to buy that? This is exactly why FFP exists, so that in the event your owner sells the club, it is sustainable to the point that when a new owner comes in who will likely have less money than the likes of your saudi billionaires, your club doesn't have to sell of its players to get back into the green in terms of revenue.

    The only purpose of FFP is to keep the big clubs always successful and challenging for honours while holding back smaller clubs who dare not invest or show any kind of ambition or risk the wrath of a points deduction. Think of the scene in the Matrix where Neo discovers that the machines are using humans as batteries to generate power. Bigger clubs swoop in for young talent and of course best players ,who must be sold to balance the books to keep the so called football authorities happy. Never again will England see a Jack Walker. A rich fan who bought the small club he supported and took took them to pinnacle of the English game, the big clubs and authorities never want to be challenged like that again. These big clubs ,In their own minds ,the spoils of war ( money and trophies) is theirs by divine right and FFP keeps them at the top from now until the rules are changed. Football has become very corrupt.

      This is 100% true. People have a problem with man city mainly because of who the owner is and the source of his wealth.

    I love your videos. They are really informative, thank you for doing them. Whilst I see the benefits of FFP, you can't get around the fact that it totally contradicts European trade law. Like it or not football clubs are registered businesses and in any other business you are allowed to invest your own money.
    If UEFA really wanted to help clubs, financially and maintain a competitive environment, they should have focused on debt rather than investment. I.e. Clubs who have debt are not allowed to purchase players if their annual net income can support the acquisition.
    FFP is a sham and has always been their to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Look at the evidence. The richest five clubs in the world pre FFP (based on net income) were Man Utd, arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona. They are still in the top six with Man City breaking into the top 5 because of initial investment and running their club and business efficiently.
    Look behind the smokescreen UEFA have put in place. If you can only spend what you make then Man Utd will always be the wealthiest football club no matter what! Is THIS 'fair?' They invested heavily at the right time at the birth of the premier league and just so happened to have the greatest manager ever, plus an amazing CEO in Peter Kenyon. Unless investment is allowed in other clubs no one will get near! Man City are only getting closer (income wise) because of their massive initial investement pre FFP. Oh and who was in charge of the early operations and an infamous backer of FFP? David Gill, the ex CEO of Man Utd. The 'big 5' support FFP because they don't want to lose what they've got and a European Superleague is much more likely to happen under FFP btw.
    Basically FFP is a great idea in theory and while it has had some great results, regarding financial stability, the long term implications are quickly becoming apparent. It could've been done, legally, maintaining a competitive environment that carried the desired result they proficised.

      So what you're saying is it's fine for rich owners to pump teams full of money but team's who take out loans and pay them back can't do anything until they've paid it back? How is that fair? So people taking out loans and mortgages or even business's who take out loan's can't spend any money on anything else till they pay it back you do know like any other business, Company's are allowed to take out loans and pay them back over a period of time.
      Plus you do know Madrid, Barca are fan owned club's and are self sufficient with the president being voted in and not being able to invest his own money into the club. Sure in the past Madrid and Barca have had certian help but they're self sufficient clubs only relying on commercial gain and on the pitch success. Same with Bayern the fans own 81% of the club so i don't see your point plus it's in the rule of the bundesliga have to be majority owned by fans. The 50+1 rule.
      "Unless investment is allowed in other clubs no one will get near!" So you think making football unregulated and making team's spend millions IF NOT BILLION's just to stay with in the big 4-6 is fine if not with in the league at all?? Did you not see how many club's wen't under? Sure Debt is a problem but if the team can pay it off over time what's the problem? You speak of investment's but don't care about Billionaires spending money and righting it off?
      "Man City breaking into the top 5 because of initial investment and running their club and business efficiently."
      Lol what? So the over 1.1 BILLION the owner has spent over 10 years and the countless undermining of the rule's is Man City running their club efficiently? The fact not ONCE since 2008 has the club made a PROFIT in the transfer window but yet some how it's efficient? Or the fact majority if not all the sponsorship's by Man City are inflated there's a reason why FIFA, UEFA, FA AND the Premier league are investigating them, If you care so much about debt shouldn't the owners investment count as debt?

    • @rodhitmanhart1
      @rodhitmanhart1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The LoudAssasin you're clearly passionate about this and that's great! I didn't say it was ok for owners to pump money into clubs, without protecting the interests of other stakeholders in each association. I totally agree something should've been done to help struggling clubs but it must be legal and have no hidden agenda. I only offered another solution but I'm not the decision maker in UEFA.
      Regarding your point about Man City not making a profit in the TM. You're correct but they are a profitable business now and have been for the past five years. There is a book called 'killing the game' by author Daniel Slack-Smith which I found really insightful and a particular section is dedicated to FFP and sees it from the club's side. It just looks at another side to it. The City Football Group is now valued at over 3 billion dollars (not an exact figure) so I think they are very profitable in my opinion but agree that it's not in the transfer market.
      Madrid and Barcelona are fantastic and I love that they are owned by the fans. Unfortunately I cannot see this being the case in English football in the modern era since the birth of the premier league but I'd love to see it happen. Like you eluded to though, they have had major help along the way in huge tax rebates and exploited loop holes from the Spanish government. You surely can't agree that this is fair?
      The fact is FFP is a contradiction of European trade law and in my personal opinion while football clubs are registered businesses, they must be able to speculate to accumulate or stagnation in the market will inevitably occur.

    • @tonyneculai4576
      @tonyneculai4576 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The FFP is a great idea not only in theory but also in reality. You spend what you produce, makes a lot of sense. There are so many examples of clubs which vanished because the owner left or went in jail. Like in Romania, they put 8-9 owners in jail, and clubs suffer. Rapid Bucharest, 3rd most powerful club there went bankrupt. Look at Sporting Lisbon financial issues. You only look at big clubs. You give example man City. They had financial loses every single year. You think that oil money comes and will always come there but what if one day the sheik dies or simply he decides not to play with his toy anymore, because that's Man city for him? Who's gonna pay all the debt acquired in the last 10 years? Leeds is a great example in the video. Remember Portsmouth, playing FA Cup final, buying players with 40 million, hiring top managers on high salary? Where are they now?

      If you want to see the ultimate FFP model in football look at Germany.
      Bayern München's position in the Bundesliga is unhealthy and unchallenged - the Der Spiegel piece about City was in part about München's annoyance that City swooped in and bought two players - Sané and De Bruyne, that they presumed they would get first refusal on.

    • @rodhitmanhart1
      @rodhitmanhart1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tony Neculai i agree FFP is working in certain ways. Like I said in both of my previous comments, there has always been hidden motives at work and the evidence is clear. I agree that something should be done but it MUST be legal. FFP isn’t.
      I believe your Man City comments are unfounded if I’m honest. ‘A toy’ is a view that is outdated, especially with the investment, success and importance the city football group now has which is intertwined with the future of Abu Dhabi. Seriously read the ‘killing the game’ book that I mentioned before. It gives a totally different perspective to the city takeover and may change your opinion. If it doesn’t it’s just an interesting read.
      Also, like I mentioned before Man City have been a profitable business for 5 years and the CFG is valued at over 3 billion dollars. Yes they would be nowhere without oil, but they now don’t rely on it at all. They invested in a business in order to make it profitable. FFP contradicts this model that’s used in business worldwide.

    @WOOOPdoctorFROGhere 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a United supporter, I think FFP is a load of nonsense. It seems to protect the established order, clubs like United and other big clubs that make the most money. It's a barrier for smaller clubs to join the elite. If a club like city or Chelsea have the ambition and the money to buy an entire new team, to compete for trophies, then let them. It adds another club in to the mix. It stops the elite keeping all the trophies to themselves. Yet FFP seeks to punish these clubs, because their brand isn't as big, and therefore they're unable to gain the kind of market share that United has. So, in effect, if you've got a global following of fans that will buy all the branded tat the club sells (like Uniteds official water taps) then that's fine, you are allowed to spend as much money on players as you like, despite the club actually being in huge debt. Yet if you're city, with no debt, but a far less profitable brand, then you're going to get kicked out of Europe for having the nerve to sign players.

    As an Canadian who primarily watches American sports (nba, nfl and mlb) these rules seem extremely unfair to smaller teams. Correct me if I am wrong but if you base how much teams can spend on players based on their revenues/profits doesn’t that mean larger more profitable teams can have significantly higher payrolls and thus more talent?
    How is a small team supposed to compete on a fair basis with a team like man united? In the us nfl the 32 teams share revenue almost equally and their is a salary cap (maximum payroll for players) and salary floor (minimum payroll for players). This ensures a relatively even distribution of talent and makes it so the way to become a better team involves finding better value. Eg. Scouting and drafting underrated prospects and developing and coaching them up.
    To me the EPL seems so unfair.

    Ownership of teams / clubs by players / unions would be better goal of soccer / sport and at the same time more capitalistic / profitable as it emphasizes ownership by those doing work. Investors / investor groups would probably also have more success financing the whole league together rather than just one team, where they could influence and present the sport as a whole, and most likely get more return on investment.

      The first two are mostly correct, but "it doesn't create the same quality on the pitch" may not be. Remember, in the USA the MLS is about the #5-6 professional sport by some distance. Without a world-class demand (audience), you can't have a world-class league, and in the US football isn't that big of a deal yet.
      The NFL, the NBA and the NHL have a similar financial system as the MLS and they are by far the best leagues in their sports because there is a cultural demand for them.

    @Jonathan2342 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The problem has never been Football clubs over-spending, it has been the constant bailouts that have greatly reduced the downside risk of over-spending. Remove the bail-outs and allow clubs to go into bankrupcy / Liquidation and you will see owners less likely take on the high risk moves. If you want an FFP that is balanced, then pass a rule making owners / Officers personally liable for a % of the company spending (even just the taxes as those are supposed to be remitted separately) when their own money is on the line i think you would see a much more conservative attitude towards spending.
    But, to me, FFP is just a stick that the big clubs use to protect their revenues. The disparity between revenues on the Top and Bottom of the leagues as well as CL revenues create an incentive for clubs to try and boost their position though FFP makes it very hard to do that without incurring penalties (Man City).

    FFP is there only to keep the big clubs ahead of the game. If season after season my club earns more and can spend more(through being successful on the field), how can anyone ever catch up?
    For example if Liverpool generates way more money than Burnley, according to FFP, they can spend way more.
    This means Liverpool will be able to afford far better players can Burnley.
    This means since Liverpool has way better players than Burnley, Burnley won't be able to compete with Liverpool on the field.
    This means since Liverpool still succeeded than Burnley on the field, they will make more money that season.
    This means since they make more money, they will be able to buy far better players than what Burnley can buy in the next season (according to FFP).
    So you see, the cycle continues year after year forever.
    The big teams remains big and the small teams remains small.
    FFP was created just to keep the big teams big and keep the small teams small.

    Is it just me who feels that this isn't how football was supposed to be? I mean the whole point with team sports is to represent your city/neighbourhood/workplace/etc. while competing against others. For pride of the local community and for the health benefits that come from exercising. First wrong step, IMO, was the creation of the footballing profession. When you put a wage into the equation, you end up with higher quality players, sure, but also with a lack of passion, pride and loyalty. It becomes just another gig. They become just like the rest of us. I mean what's the point of supporting a team if they don't represent you? What's the point of playing for supporters who you have no connection to whatsoever. But imagine supporting a football team who your relative play for, or your neighbour, or your co-worker. Or at least someone who comes from the same part of the fucking country as you. Speaks the same dialect. ANYTHING.
    Of course most people aren't gonna support their local club, if they have no way of becoming successful. We all want to at least dream, right? But many people aren't allowed, All because of the footballing economy with the owners and investors polluting the water. The rich are running the entire sport. Should your football club be doomed because you don't have any rich supporters or because it's not attractive to Arabic dictators? This is why people glory hunt. They become customers instead of supporters.
    The clubs lack of moral fiber and are always looking for loopholes to get one over. It's getting worse as they are becoming more and more desperate. First because of how football clubs in most countries are run, like companies. Secondly because of the TV money, Champions League money, etc. Then they started to price out the working class from the stadiums, they got rid of the proper football stands. Clubs started to cater to rich tourists rather than their own local supporters who have supported them for several generations. But they never owned the club, like they do in Germany or Sweden. There, the supporters own 51% of the club at all times. It protects some aspects of the club at least. But still, clubs like RB Leipzig and Östersunds FK are finding loopholes to exploit. There will always be corruption if you protect the soul of the game.
    This is why we don't have any passion or personalities in football anymore. This is why the English stadiums are becoming quieter and quieter. This is why we don't see many incredible underdog stories anymore. Entire countries have no hope of ever competing in the Champions League because they can't afford to keep up with the economy of the big four European countries. For the sake of a few decent dribbles and greed.
    Football seems dead. World Cup in Qatar, Super League discussions (like the 'big four' countries haven't been given enough advantages) and the blood and oil money from both east and west. Is this what we really want?

    I'm not familiar with all the complicated rules of ffp but some things confuse me.
    like why chelsea was hit with a transfer ban while man city never actually suffered any consequences. everytime they appealed a transfer ban successfully and go away.

      Chelsea have appealed it so it's not active yet and Platini's ffp are looking to impose a ban on both transfers and Europe on city

    Perhaps somewhat ironically FFP would turn the UCL into a de facto European super League by ensuring nobody can realistically break in

    Might be worth making a distinction between the 3rd Division and the Third Tier of English Football (League 1).

    Question - Let's say Burnley were to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for $100M. And then they actually made $100M on the Burnley/Ronaldo shirt/jersey sales. Would that be "okay" according to FFP? in effect, if you sign a very popular player, then if they manage to bring in enough revenue their pay can balance out...
    Another example might be Pulisic. He isn't the greatest player in the world, but he's popular in America which is a very large market. So we want to watch him play on TV and I'd bet a lot of jerseys were sold, etc.
    On the other side, a club might sign a good player who is not popular, and so they can't pay a lot for them, because they don't bring in extra money.
