Jose Mourinho calls Financial Fair Play a contradiction Theres little doubting that UEFAs new Financial Fair Play regulations have altered the way Chelsea approach the transfer market in recent seasons, and Jose Mourinho spent some time on Sunday speaking about FFP: I think Financial Fair Play is a contradiction because, when football decided to go for Financial Fair Play it was exactly to put teams in equal conditions to compete. But what happened really with the Financial Fair Play is a big protection to the historical, old, big clubs, which have a financial structure, a commercial structure, everything in place based on historical success for years and years and years. And the new clubs - I call them new clubs, those with new investment - they cannot put themselves quickly at the same level. Clubs with new owners cannot immediately attack the control and the domination of these big clubs. Chelsea is not an old, historical, huge club - but its also not a club with a new owner. Its a club with the same owner for more than 10 years. A club with a very important history, with great stability too. And at this moment I think we are just below them. I can say we are a very good club with the ambition to be a great club.
