2019-20 UEFA Competitions Thread

[bhurst99]

I see the Atalanta-Valencia Champions League match on Feb. 19 is getting a lot of blame for spreading the virus in northern Italy.

"More than one-third of Valencia's squad on the night have tested positive for COVID-19."

So that helped spread it in Spain as well. Yikes.

The UCL/UEL schedule is insane.

Add in that some players will be on new teams by then too makes it really interesting

UEFA Relaxing FFP:



If members of the OS Accountants Guild would like to put this into layman’s terms, it would be much appreciated.

Hi there, accountant here, I have no idea.

However at this point why did he say it to the press, especially the fact that he was already ill in Valencia? He just brought troubles upon himself.

Lmao UEFA making shut up as they go to the point that actual accountants couldn’t even tell you what the hell they are doing.

Of course, this isn’t actually surprising in any way.

Not an accountant, but I'll take a stab at it.

With FFP in place, teams are only allowed to lose a certain amount of money over a 3 year period. Essentially, they're merging 2020 and 2021 into one year for the purposes of being compliant with FFP.

What does this mean? I imagine teams will still be pretty conservative in the transfer window based on the losses they've taken during the pandemic, but this merger of seasons gives teams more flexibility, especially wealthier teams.

Apparently Turner is opting out of their deal with UEFA to broadcast the UEFA Champions and Europa League. So while the rights are going to CBS in Fall 2021, we currently might not have coverage in the US for the final part of this season's UCL/UEL, nor the 2020-21 version, unless CBS scoops the rights a year early. (Mostly because I doubt any OTTP service will pay for the rights for one season)
