"A Belgian court has imposed an interim order blocking European football governing body Uefa from activating new Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

The Court of First Instance referred a case brought by several claimants to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The case challenged plans to cut clubs' permitted losses from 45m euros (£32m) to 30m euros (£21.32m).

Uefa said it will appeal against the decision and continue implementing the new rules."

Indeed, but does it now mean FFP is not in force anymore?

I think it was inevitable that there would be some sort of challenge to ffp. Clubs will look at this mindful that it could be overturned. If the judgement stands, I would imagine that there would be implications domestically.

Another blunder by the ECJ. Sooner we disassociate the UK from it the better .........

As I've said before, the FL version is a different beast voted in by member clubs. I believe this latter point is the difference and what has stopped clubs challenging other items such as points deductions etc.
