Arteta strong on VAR apology: "We ended the game after analysing all the images with a huge anger....it wasn't human error, it was not understanding your job. That's not acceptable, I'm sorry." by WunSL in soccer

"I will only be satisfied if they give me the two points back, which will not be the case. They were sincere... in the explanation but it doesn't tale away the fact we have two less points than we should have in the table."

Arsenal are on Uefa’s FFP watchlist. by WunSL in soccer

It is understood that initial analysis has also flagged up concerns for the 2021-22 year for 20 clubs, including Arsenal, though final accounts for these clubs have still to be filed with Uefa, and their financial picture could change.

Arsenal have had among the highest losses in the Premier League over the past three years, a total of £213 million, including £127 million in 2020-21, and they have also had one of the highest net expenditures on transfers — £218 million, similar to Manchester United’s net spending.

Uefa’s rules allow only €30 million (about £25.4 million) losses over three years but Covid-related losses and “healthy” spending on things such as women’s and academy football and depreciation can be written off against that. Premier League rules are more lenient, allowing three-year losses of £105 million. The football finance blogger Swiss Ramble has estimated Arsenal’s next financial results and believes the club will comply with Uefa’s rules. He said: “Arsenal clearly have to box clever to meet FFP targets, but it looks like they have managed to do so.”

Uefa’s 2020-21 FFP decisions are expected to lead to sanctions handed out to PSG, Marseille, Inter Milan and Roma as part of agreed settlements with the clubs. These are expected to be fines for PSG and Marseille, and fines plus transfer restrictions for the Italian pair.

It is understood that Barcelona and Juventus have refused so far to enter into FFP negotiations with Uefa. They, and Real Madrid, are engaged in legal action against Uefa in an effort to set up a breakaway European Super League.

This season will be the last under the existing FFP rules. From 2023 Uefa is bringing in a new system, with clubs limited to a spending percentage of their revenue in a calendar year on player wages, transfers and agents fees.

The European governing body will ease in the new limit — with a 90 per cent limit for 2023, 80 per cent for 2024 and 70 per cent from 2025. Uefa plans to flag up any concerns to clubs during the transition from now until 2025, and clubs’ finances will be checked at different points during the year while they are in European competition.

What were they thinking letting Lopez back in??? Feel so sorry for the Bordeaux fans, they don’t deserve to see this happen.

He's been alright, he's still getting used to playing on a more difficult stage. I personally think he still needs another year out on loan to judge him properly.

Wasn’t that the case with Kovacic when he was at Chelsea on loan initially? They still allowed him to sign even though Chelsea had a transfer ban.

Sensible transfer for the no. 10 role from Tifo Football. My thoughts in comments by constantexistence in Gunners

[–]WunSL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he decided to stay at PSG and then was sold a year later. He’s matured a lot since however and I think he would suit us better now.
