Now that Zenit have splashed 90m Euros on Hulk and Witsel, in the FFP period, combined with the fact that Gazprom are a big time UEFA sponsor - can we all agree that Platini et all are full of sh*t?
That ignores PSG's ridiculous spend too, no way would they meet the defined requirements. And rumour is that Platini's son is now employed at PSG.
Saddens me. No idea how clubs without sugar daddies are going to compete in the next decade. The only way to get marquee signings is to run at an operating loss - which is only sustainable for clubs that have some random person willing to give them money without any expectation of ever getting it back.
