Financial Fair Play (FFP) has been a controversial topic across European leagues. While it aims to ensure financial stability, critics argue it favors big clubs and stifles competition. Is FFP achieving its goals, or does it need reform? How should smaller clubs balance ambition with financial prudence? And will we see more parity in Europe’s top leagues anytime soon?

In my opinion, Financial Fair Play does help ensure some level of financial stability, but I’ve seen how it can favor bigger clubs with more resources, leaving smaller teams at a disadvantage. I remember how clubs like Manchester City and PSG managed to work around the rules, which led to criticism. Smaller clubs face a tough balancing act—ambition is important, but they can't afford to overspend. For true parity, FFP needs reform, but I'm not sure if we’ll see much change soon.

I don't know what to say, but I like that you touched on this topic because it is very important and I also like to read different opinions and thoughts about this, thank you for creating the publication

I think Financial Fair Play has good intentions, but it often favors big clubs with larger revenues, making it harder for smaller clubs to compete. While it promotes financial stability, reform is needed to create a fairer playing field. Smaller clubs must balance ambition with sustainable investments, focusing on youth development and smart transfers. True parity in Europe’s top leagues seems unlikely soon, but more balanced revenue-sharing could make a difference.

I believe it has had mixed results. While it’s stopped some clubs from overspending, top teams with massive commercial revenue still find ways around the rules, leading to concerns about fairness and competitiveness.

Some clubs are finding loopholes with the FFP. They now buy as many players as they wish while dodging the big hammer. So, I am not surprised at all that this is happening with the system. To me, the people who have suffered most are the small clubs that have no means to manipulate the system.

Financial fair play rule in European football is not for all the football teams that are playing in Europe. Some club seems to be exploiting that rule and they are not being punished the way they are supposed to be punished. Manchester City is an example of what I'm talking about.

They are yet to say anything or do anything about Manchester City's 115 charges until today. They have reached a verdict since but yet to announce it. They are definitely not going to punish them as most people are expecting.
