Quote:
UEFA president Michel Platini has signalled an end to the big spending enjoyed by clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
With one eye on the global recession, Platini wants to usher in a new era of cash restraint and has unveiled plans for financial reforms that will force clubs with wealthy benefactors to change their habits – or face possible exclusion from European football.
Platini’s vision is for all clubs in European competition to spend only what they earn from football revenues – and he claims he has the backing of Chelsea’s super-rich owner Roman Abramovich.
The rules would outlaw ‘sugar daddies’ such as Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Mansour – who has spent £200million in transfer fees alone in his first year as owner of Manchester City

I noticed how pleased Platini was when Utd were beaten by Barcelona back in May, however, I am not sure Platini's way is the way to go or not regarding sugar daddies. Chelsea have now spent all what Abramovich wants to, is apparantly backing Platini's idea.
