People assume oil clubs cheat all the time, when in fact it's just them finding legal loopholes. Which UEFA allows.

One needs at least a super basic understanding of law. Legal matters are supposed to be written, and taken, as literally as possible. So if loopholes exist, then they're not illegal to exploit. Not until the lawmakers plug the holes.

I find it funny how everyone's complaining about oil clubs now that FFP exists (and they're allegedly cheating it), but forgets about how Milan, Chelsea, United etc. used to outspend everyone through cash injections from the owners, when there was no FFP.

Obviously it's not perfect, but it's better than the old rules, and I believe it helps to keep prices down for "second tier" clubs

I think there is an element of historic clubs paying protectionism

But the flip side is reckless spending can lead to clubs becoming bankrupt, or having their assets drained. And then the knock on effects for smaller clubs of these super spenders driving even mediocre players out of everyones price range

Considering they are mostly affecting small clubs and clubs outside of the top5, I am against it

Depends on how you see these rules but think they are in place to make sure clubs don’t spend too much money and ruin their clubs.

Look at Barcelona.
