Not a conspiracy, Chelsea are in on it pffft
"It's mainly the owners that asked us to do something - Roman Abramovich, (AC Milan's) Silvio Berlusconi, (Inter Milan's) Massimo Moratti. They do not want to fork out from their pockets any more," added Platini.

I said it was to stop clubs just getting buckets of money from wealthy owners (who write it off because it's the cost of buying the trophies) not to stop bank loans. In theory there is nothing unfair about bank loans because they are secured against some assert and have to be paid back. The club can't just get, say, £300 million to buy a new team without a drawback.
It is funny that Chelsea asked for it though. LOL.
