UEFA has introduced and approved new financial fair play rules for European clubs, the core principle of this new rule is the break-even requirement, according to which all clubs cannot continuously spend more than their income. The main purpose of this initiative is to promote financial responsibility among all European clubs.
According to new Fair Play rules clubs will be permitted up to £38.5m in losses during the first period of 2011-12-13. However if the clubs miss these target they will escape sanctions as long as their losses are reduced or if the current debt is due to the spending on transfer fees and wages before 2010.
