Europe's most wanted: the 2011 summer transfer market

The summer transfer market is almost upon us and the coming months will, inevitably, be dominated by big-money deals, the scouting of promising youngsters and general wheeler-dealing.

This year, however, UEFA’s Financial Fairplay (FFP) regulations loom large. Whether we witness the last of the big spenders remains to be seen, but a new mood of fiscal prudence is certainly influencing club spending patterns.

FFP is UEFA president Michel Platini’s plan to curb the excessive spending by clubs who have, over the past decade, enjoyed backing from sugar-daddy owners or financial injections in the form of bank loans and overdrafts.

Next season will be the first monitoring period for FFP, which will require clubs to balance their books by 2015 in order to gain a licence to compete in European competition.

The rules are designed to ensure that clubs spend within their means on wages and transfer fees, with UEFA hoping to create a more level playing field for clubs throughout Europe.

UEFA will allow clubs to register losses up to a total of ¤45million (almost £40m) over three years from 2011-12 in preparation for FFP. Losses of ¤30m will still be allowed in the following three years after 2015 as clubs are encouraged to regulate their spending.

As ever, the devil is in the detail. Money spent on stadium and youth development does not count as expenditure for the purposes of FFP, while clubs must also prove that commercial deals have been agreed at market rates and not engineered by rich owners to circumvent the rules.

“All the clubs are fully aware of the rules,” says a UEFA official who helped draw up the proposals. “It’s now up to them to comply.”

Clubs will have to supply audited accounts to UEFA via their national associations. A “financial control panel”, headed by former Belgian prime minister Jean-Luc Dahaene, will decide whether clubs have met the FFP criteria – and how to punish those who fall short.

UEFA is keen to point out that exclusion from European competition is the ultimate sanction, the punishment being a last resort. “We have a slope that leads to Hell, which is exclusion from competition,” William Gaillard, Platini’s closest advisor said.

Before offending clubs are excluded from UEFA competition, they could be fined or monitored for a year while given a chance to reduce their overspending.
