No one may spend more than it earns: The new financial standards of the Uefa could change football. The German club are hoping to benefit from it.
contest on Tuesday of the Valencia and FC Schalke 04, the first encounter of the Champions League first knockout round. Under other circumstances it would not announce this game. Uefa president Michel Platini told the other day that had been given to the future financial standards of his Football Association eleven o'clock clubs this season, no registration for the Champions League. It does not take much imagination to imagine that Schalke (debt of 250 million €) and Valencia (490 million) could be amongst the eleven.
The future standard is the "financial fair play" meant, which was adopted last May, and from next season will be introduced gradually. No less than a new financial architecture that Platini European football with his project will prescribe. The realized as a reformer Frenchman started his first major renovation work and a basically plausible idea. Who in future Champions League and Europe want to play, may spend only as much as he occupies it.
This "break-even" rule is the centerpiece of the new rules, which could have a similarly dramatic effect as the Bosman ruling in 1995, after the players' salaries and expenditure club exploded. This time the revolution is in the other direction. The new financial rules will make the competition fairer and protected, say, saving the club from their own transfer madness. says "There is no escape," Platini.
in 2009 made the European clubs 1.2 billion loss, almost doubling the previous year. Even the league had in conjunction with the Second League for the 2009/10 season to cope with a loss of 100 million. This assessment of a therapy is difficult. Also, because of resistance from the clubs, the introduction of fair play from 2012 to the gradual introduction has been postponed.
From 1 June, supervises all transfer activities from Uefa, from the 2012/13 season, clubs must each year only 45 million euros into debt, from 2015/16 to 2017/18 more 30 million, then no more, at least in theory. Deviations of five million € are allowed. Revenue must originate in the actual operation is not football, of real property or cash injections from investors. Instead of a salary cap is often required, a "salary cap" on the U.S. model, the number of players per club is set to 25.
Even the 59-million-euro transfer of Fernando Torres to Chelsea and the 35-million-euro move from Manchester City to Edin Dzeko are products of the new debt brake. In summer, both transfers would have fallen already in the monitored budgets, this winter was the last opportunity for a large transfer.
If the comparatively good managerial German clubs as soon clear to European Cup European Cup when the competition from England, Italy and Spain, no more transfers can be financed by debt? "The probability is high that increase the chances of our clubs in European competition," Holger Hieronymus, CEO says in the German Football League (DFL).
