UEFA FFP rules

The main aim of this study was to investigate if and how the UEFA FFP rules influenced the football clubs in English Premier League. The objectives were whether the UEFA FFP rules regarded and expected to work, especially by key stakeholders groups in English Premier League football clubs, such as the board of directors, the managers, the staffs and also the players. This study also investigated whether the UEFA FFP rules impacted the financial performance of the club better by analysing the Premiership football clubs financial performance since FFP rules introduced, and also to assess whether or not other regulatory initiatives or techniques, for example the cap on premier league wage bill for players, needed to add to existing FFP break-even rule.
Analysis of football clubs’ financial reports (quantitative method) were selected as the main method for the study to answer the research questions and reach the objectives to this study. The sample is the English Premier League (EPL) clubs for the last 3 seasons, at least (2010/2011 – 2012/2013).

3. changes in patterns of ownership which has led to some clubs raising new equity finance, some taking on more debt, but some other clubs having genuine sugar daddies – such as Manchester City and Chelsea – who threatened the dominance of clubs that had risen to power because of (ii) above.
