The Spanish FFP was necessary given the situation of the clubs in 2012. If you look at the evolution, the results obtained are magnificent.Without those rules, you wouldn't have to agree to them in the first place.
I understand the reason behind them, because at one point nearly all LaLiga teams had serious debts and they had to install a security system not to endager spanish professional football. But those rules hinder now nearly all of LaLiga teams to build a competitive squad.
14 LaLiga teams are currently under the 1/3-1/4 rule. Even the CVC deal (which is way worse than barca's levers by the way) Tebas gave them, didn't help much. Betis for example has to sell their future matchday income to register everybody. It's not only barca suffering under those rules. 2/3 of LaLiga have difficulties but barca generates klicks, so everybody talking only about us.
It's a dumb decision not to lift those rules during the pandemic and it's effects. You can't compensate unforeseeable 30% revenue loss over night. Tebas shoots in his own foot and the rest of europe laughs.
The problem is that this FFP was not prepared for a pandemic and it is a mistake of LaLiga.
Clubs cannot be forced to recover the losses of the pandemic in a year or else not signings.
After 3 years it seems that Javier Teba has noticed, and from next year this FFP will be flexible.
The losses of the pandemic have to be recovered progressively in the following 4 years. Curiously, after Barcelona had to not renew Messi and sell many levers. Then there will be people who say they help Barcelona and stuff.
The Spanish teams are drowned by the FFP but the good news is that economically they are very well compared to the other leagues and the losses they have had.
