Wenger calls for an end to Financial Fair Play Rules(FFP)

The rules can't be respected' - Wenger calls for an end to Financial Fair Play rules.

Arsenal's boss, Arsene Wenger has changed his mind on UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules because he feels they have become unenforceable.

A year after Manchester United paid a world-record fee for Paul Lalibe Pogba, the total has been topped three times with the transfers of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to Paris Saint-Germain and Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona in a summer of many big-money moves.

The lavish fees PSG paid prompted immense criticism from figures across the game and UEFA has confirmed an investigation will be opened, though the French club insist they have not breached FFP regulations.

Although Wenger was an early advocate of UEFA taking action to discourage reckless spending, he believes the rules have already become obsolete.

“Financial Fair Play raises new questions. I always did plead for it. Today, I am not convinced that we can maintain it," he told reporters.

"Football is maybe only at the start of a huge financial investment. It has become the most powerful sport in the world. It means do we have to open the door completely to investments? It is a question we have to raise because, at the moment, it looks like we have created rules that cannot be respected. There is nothing worse than when you create rules that are not respected."
