You are owned by Americans including private equity - there is no way to invent revenues or cook accounting books. Financial crime is looked very differently in the US.
You can think otherwise but that’s pure fantasy.
And FFP is not getting reset, new rules are coming in which are more stringent.
That so? I’ll just say there are perfectly legal ways to share and move revenue around. FFP isn’t a law. Cooking the books involves moving around money to make it look like you have more than you do. That isn’t what the big spenders are doing though. All they need to do is find creative ways to put actual, real money they have into their team.
And FFP is absolutely getting reset. The more stringent rules you mention will be year to year, not a rolling average and hence the ability to reach back in time, because the rolling average ends and doesn’t carry over to next year.
Now you can send some of that payment structure forward. But much less than you would think, and probably less than most teams are carrying. This year, along with the conditions and allowances due to our sale, along with the “FFP leeway” given to teams coming off Covid, made this year unique, especially for us.
