They'll still fall under the same FFP rules as everyone else so they can't just come in a spank a load of money. Lets just worry about it if it happens.
Not much of a deterrent as wealthy teams only get a fine (which they can write off) It's the "not so rich" clubs that get banned from the competitions.. didn't belgrade get binned from the CL and PSG got a fine recently???
Absolute joke.
Yep, exactly what happened. terrible decision as well as RED STAR was in all sorts of financial problems and debt, and getting into the group stages would have sorted that out and allowed the club to function normally...Now instead, they can't even afford to play the players.
Having said that, the club is being run by a bunch of money hungry, match fixing, agent bribing mafia men...so i am actually quite happy they didn't get a chance to make a tidz profit by getting into the CL.
