Thread: UEFA warning to debt-laden clubs

Clubs with excessive debt could face being thrown out of the Champions League and UEFA Cup, UEFA general secretary David Taylor has revealed.

This is more like a warning shot across the bow of debt holding clubs. There would be forms of communication, even warnings, even reprimands before one would ever get to a situation of exclusion but it's absolutely possible. That is the ultimate sanction.

Do you agree that less debt be part of a club financial sheets. Germany and Switzerland (and I think) France have strong requirements on clubs in terms of bank guarantees and having no negative equity.

What do you think about this warning? What if it would become true and you see your club out of European competitions?!

UEFA have just discovered that English clubs have a lot of debt, and so are considering bringing this rule in what a surprise.

It'll never happen.

It's yet another way to punish English clubs from UEFA wrapped up to make it look good. if the Italian, Spanish or French clubs had all this debt do you think they would be discussing this? Of course they wouldn't.
