Without study it, I think this is where the whole thing will come crashing down.There's a line in the FFP stuff which mentions exaggerated sponsorship deals. So they won't be able to get around it that way.
The FA are basically saying to a business, you cannot go and get sponsorship unless we approve of it.
I can see how they can get away with banning alcohol or cigarettes deals, but not for anything else. Its against the law of the land, and as we found out with Bosman, if one of these rules are challenged in law, they generally don't stand up. I just cannot see how the Football League can apply these rules if they go against UK law. If company X want to pay Company Y £z for a advertising deal, then who are the FA to set any limit of what is paid?
