seems they have thought of all the loopholes people on here have been insisting will be possible for us to cheat them - any deals, sales or sponsorships with related parties will be revalued on an arm's length basis, the person deciding what they are really worth having been appointed by Platini. So if, for example, the Sheikh was to buy an executive box for £100 million, it would be revalued at the same as the other executive boxes that had been sold for the purposes of UEFA's calculations.

We need to hire that 'Mr Loophole' lawyer who gets the celebs off when they've been speeding whilst pissed, just because the copper hadn't sharpened his pencil to the regulation angle.
Thing is, how does any PL club make money - shirt sales, ticket sales, corporate and TV, plus prize money. We will be in the top 6 for shirt sales and number of tickets, although we might struggle due to relative price of tickets. If we're top 4, our TV money will be the same as others and therefore sponsorship deals should be similar. The only thing missing (initially) is CL prize money. I can't believe our wage bill is bigger than the rags wage bill plus interest charges, so I'm still struggling to see how they can pick on us without hurting most teams.
What this sort of thing will lead to though is an increase in the price of tickets and merchandise, plus the end of the block TV rights. If you look at how much Barca and Real make from TV compared to any PL team, there's a huge difference. So FIFA will ultimately damage the smaller teams and enshrine the existing cartel of big teams to be there for ever. If another team is lucky enough to find a Sheikh, there will be no point, as you won't be able to show you can afford a CL player without winning it first.
