Wolfgang Holzhäuser, Partner at SPORTHEADS, comments on the possible failure of Financial Fair Play as well as the 50+1 rule in German professional soccer against the backdrop of Manchester City's acquittal by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Assuming that new investors also revitalize soccer and create new power relations, then FFP and 50+1 should rather be seen as obstacles for new market participants and protection for today's strong clubs. In this sense, financial injections should also be seen as an opportunity to ensure or increase the attractiveness of European soccer.
