Yeah FFP was for that purpose too. Though they failed miserably as PSG and City was allowed to sneak in. Don't see how this new system would be any different, these clubs can continue generating fake profits with their fake sponsorship deals and bump up their revenues higher and higher.

I very much doubt it. Minority atakeholding makes no sense.

It will be busy summer for us! Not total overhaul but many pieces will change, mostly for bench players. If we can get our out going transfers done quickly, it won’t be that hard. I think De Vrij and his replacement will be the key and hope that it don’t drag too long? After that we need to see what we will do with Lautaro and Sanchez?

Inter’s financial situation is beginning to improve and the latest figures show that the club’s losses have more than halved, according to a report in the Italian print media today.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport today, the Inter Board of Directors met last Friday and approved the half-year report for the period covering July 1 to December 31 2021.
The figures presented forecast that the season will end with losses more than halved when compared to the €245.6 million loss that was made during the 2020-21 season. That loss was a record for the club.
The aim this season is to end with a loss of around €100 million. This is possible largely because of the various new sponsors that Inter have on their shirts, whose fees add up to about €35 million.
The qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League is also something that has really helped Inter start to climb out of a dire financial situation.

we will almost certainly not be "self sufficient" in the foreseeable future. We will rely on selling players to "balance the books" and even that won't be enough.

The whole sport of football runs on artificially pumping up the books. Don't delude yourselves that our situation will improve with these owners.

Yes. Selling players has been the modus operandi of Juventus also, has been for years when Marotta was there.

It's gonna be like that at Inter too.

As for @.h. comment, Lukaku's and Hakimi's (and Politano's) sales included to current fiscal year means they are one-offs, meaning this year's result do not represent the financial situation of the club in general. Because we aren't hopefully selling players for 200m each fiscal year. Or, maybe we have to.

I'll hold my breath until the financial results come in, but clearly if -100m loss already factors in +20-40m Hakimi and +50-60m Lukaku money, its a disasterous loss as well.

I'd assume it is factored in, but with stadia partially re-opening, etc, and last year taking a number of one-off losses (such as writedowns on sponsorship values, capital losses on players like Joao Mario, Nainggolan, etc), I would have expected 100m to be our baseline operating loss this year with Hakimi and Lukaku plusvalenza taking that pretty close to 0. I doubt that's actually the case, though, but we'll see soon?

CF: The new FFP reform explained and where Milan, Inter and Juventus currently stand​

It has today been confirmed that UEFA have voted through the new format of Financial Fair Play which will come into effect at the start of the 2024-25 season, when the new format of the Champions League will also come into force.

Spanish portal 2Playbook (via Calcio e Finanza) has carried out an interesting analysis that looks at how European clubs stand with regards to the new system, which dictates that the cost of any team’s playing squad cannot exceed 70% of the revenues.

The percentage in question has also been the subject of numerous discussions in recent times and clubs richer owners wanted the limit to be set at 85% of revenues and those, while many Bundesliga clubs requested a percentage much lower than 70%.

The report claims that in total there are 29 clubs from the main European leagues which on the basis of 2018-19 data, which was the last season not affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. Of the total, 45% concerns clubs from the English Premier League, such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton.

Six Ligue 1 clubs are outside the parameters – again based on the 2018-19 data – while almost all of the clubs of the Spanish LaLiga sides are also in good standing, but there is a problem in Serie A.

Based on 2020-21 estimates done by Calcio e Finanza, Roma are at 135% ratio, Napoli 114%, Lazio 112%, Inter 109%, Juventus 99% and Milan 90%. It is evident that currently almost all the major Italian clubs – whose accounts have certainly been affected by the pandemic – are beyond the ratio indicated by UEFA, but there is a transitional period to address it.

This really is an existential crisis moment, to me.

Without considerable change, and I don't know what that is, focus on cheap youth maybe, dunno, calcio is fucked.

Yeah no way any Italian club can make those numbers and be competitive under that timeline.
