Are you saying buying a stadium doesn’t impact ffp?
So ffp rules would discount purchase of a stadium and what offset it against our losses?
Yes, exactly. FFP (now called FSR):
Squad Cost Rule
Clubs may spend
no more than 70 % of their revenue on:
– player and coach wages
– transfer amortisation
– agent fees
Phased implementation:
• 90 % in 2023/24
• 80 % in 2024/25
• 70 % from 2025/26 onwards
It means not making the CL and missing out on those revenues directly impacts how much we're allowed to spend on players, wages and agent fees. Not making CL really fucks us twice.

Football Earnings Rule
Over a rolling
three-year period, clubs may post a maximum loss of
60M – as long as the owner covers any losses beyond 5M via equity contributions.
Key thresholds:
• Losses up to 5M– fine, no coverage needed
• 5M to 60M – allowed if covered by owner
• Some leeway up to 90M for clubs in excellent financial standing
