Nothing to do with FFP

Yes it is. It may not be part of the season by season accounting part. But it is one of the rules. Its in reference to overdue payments.

Edit: I should clarify, its to do with the CBFC I think. Of which FFP is a part.

As part of the first measure of the financial fair play requirements included in the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations 2012, the clubs participating in 2012/13 UEFA club competitions had to provide information regarding the status of any overdue payables as at 30 June 2012.

John Mikel Obi Twitter abuse condemned by Chelsea
Chelsea have condemned alleged racist abuse received by John Mikel Obi on Twitter after their 2-2 draw against Juventus in the Champions League.

He took to the micro-blogging website to apologise for the mistake that led to Fabio Quagliarella's equaliser.

However, the midfielder's profile @Mikel12Official has now been deleted.

"We've informed the police and support taking the strongest possible action," said Chelsea, adding the abuse is "totally unacceptable and disgusting".

The 25-year-old tweeted after the game: "If I want to make up an excuse, I can. But, for me, I gave the ball away. I put my hands up, we move on. I'm sorry about the mistake, but there are no excuses."

Chelsea originally said it was just coincidence that Mikel had removed his account from the micro-blogging website, but later admitted the police had been informed.

During the summer, team-mate Ashley Cole allegedly received racial abuse on Twitter after the full-back missed a penalty for England against Italy at Euro 2012.

Could hear it. He won a corner over near the away fans and I could hear them monkey chanting. ****ing outrageous. The commentator called it "distasteful" FFS. It's disgraceful. The stewards and/or the coppers should've been straight in there nicking people but I didn't see any movement in the crowd.
