It's pretty crazy that they basically allow all this circumvention. Not a lot different than City; we all know that they are getting advertising dollars from a company that is owned and controlled by the same company and it makes things work for FFP or whatever. But I guess it works on paper, so it's legit.

I'm not entirely familiar with the Red Bull scenario but I thought I read that one of them is owned by a subsidiary (controlled of course) and that the 'Red Bull' name is 'just sponsorship.'
Its an obvious work-around of course, but thats my understanding. Devo would probably know better.
At the same time though its not like UEFA has been really strict about enforcing their FFP rules.
