Football revolutionary takes aim at UEFA -- again

Like City, Paris Saint-Germain has been sanctioned by UEFA for breaking its financial fair play rules, having won the French league title for the second season in a row.


Now the Belgian lawyer Jean-Louis Dupont is gunning for a second time to change the face of the game - has revolutionized the football once before converting the transfer system.
Shiny new UEFA regulations in the viewfinder are: richest football club in Europe has become the scourge of the Financial Fair Play (FFP), and in particular the English champions Manchester City at the top and in French, both of which were commissioned by the sovereign of Europe, Paris St. Germain, the body on Friday.
FFP clubs spending beyond their means and are designed to avoid unsustainable posting annual losses, but Dupont because they limit competition ban "completely illegal" is to be believed - a fundamental policy of the European Union law s'.
"It is in itself a violation of the pure EC competition law requires that the break-even point '. Mira, however, impose an illegal scheme to increase that automatically illegal," said Dupont CNN.
In a statement sent to CNN, the break-even requirement UEFA club competition matches played in UEFA competition on the market that offer no restriction could be "completely rejects", he said.
"Rules FFP in European football, a broad consultation process involving all stakeholders emerged," reads a statement UEFA.
"As such, they were the product of a democratic and inclusive process, there is no doubt the validity of the rules of democracy.
"The rules of the real content - in particular the policy of a tie, you will not spend more than you earn, based on the idea that - just good economic sense and prudential rules reasonable."
But Dupont does not agree.
"FFP sounds good," said Dupont. "Why is a game does not support good governance and integrity?
"If you scratch the surface, but a ban on investment that the rule of draw."
Dupont FFP clubs like City and PSG will not be able to challenge the established order, the football, the more the competition concerns raised by observers believe that the status quo.
"UEFA is large and well-established, at least it will challenge the top dogs in order to buy players at the club, a club owner of his own money to spend prohibited.
"Today, with this rule, Roman Abramovich and his Chelsea can not build the project and turn it into one of the best clubs in Europe.
"In other words, the rule of several top European clubs ossification market structure will remain the same forever - City will have a new boyfriend .."
To support his thesis, Professor Petit Nicolas Dupont on EU competition law and FFP cites an academic paper.
"Petit FFP has' Oligopoleague creates what he calls: Break the Rules destroy the competitive balance - the club will be bigger, smaller clubs, small and a little club will never go back to being a big," said Dupont.
UEFA rejects the accusations. It "football competition FFP increases by improving managerial incentives," he said.
And "club rather than 'payroll - Gambling' and are encouraged to invest in education and infrastructure that" it adds.
PSG has a heavy financial penalty last week, the City Council, a fine of $ 82 million, and for the Champions League next season's team were hit with sanctions.
Dupont club in the Champions League and Europa League will be expelled and their transfer activities may disturb them, because the judge did not risk taking on the subject UEFA.
In addition, they feel that the political cost will be high, the Belgian lawyer said. Has faced little opposition UEFA has confirmed that FFP is not a threat.
"I paid € 60 million, which will be a great loss to you or I, will be deported from the competition," said Dupont.
"It 'a threat in itself, a violation of competition laws aimed at enforcing the rules more so that, once again. Clearly a serious crime under European competition law is a threat of expulsion. Longer."
Home to his team for next season's Champions League, having grown from 21 to 25, with at least eight players who have been reduced to - the - part of the punishment handed to Dupont also argued that the city "is not valid."
Dupont says that rules are open to challenge - UEFA's homegrown player rule over the three years between 15 and 21 have been trained in a European team including domestic needs at least eight players.
"EU Law violates the UEFA home grown players in the system," Belgian lawyer based in Barcelona.
"This is a violation of the rules on free movement of workers and the loss of free competition, without any solid argument.
"If any club or player in court tomorrow to challenge these rules, in other words, the court - on the basis of Community law - there is no other choice but to cancel the UEFA rules."
Curiously, Dupont FFP authorized by UEFA to become involved in the war against the nine has urged the club's fans.
"Millions and millions of people can challenge tomorrow FFP," In the meantime, he is fighting on behalf of the agent regulation football Daniel Striani FFP through a lawsuit challenging the Dupont said.
"The fans can do so through their associations. Football products are for consumers and competition law is to protect consumers is the ultimate goal.
"They had to turn to the European Commission and the Brussels civil court action, my client, the player is free to join the lawsuit filed by Daniel Striani agent.
"Even they can ask the court to Brussels UEFA FFP regulations in effect - and is based on the recognition - until he makes his decision on the merits.
The rule of a tie, most of the top European competition for the club will be closed for ever since the club ", the" underdog "Supporters Club have a legitimate interest may request the court to declare the rule to break even.
"And the same (for example) are all sponsors of this club."
It basamyana Belgian player Jean-Marc, who in 1995 helped to change the law of the European Dupont, allowing players to go to the free end of the deal that almost 20 years ago.
It remains to be seen whether a change in European law for the second time
