Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has hit out at UEFA's Financial Fair Play laws.

While Chelsea have been able to use their dramatic rise into one of Europe's most successful clubs to put themselves on a sound footing, Buck insists it's unfair Uefa has prevented other teams benefiting from a wealthy benefactor.

Buck said: "It would be hard to do today what Mr Abramovich has done because of Financial Fair Play. The FFP model that exists is not the best model.

"Chelsea believe in financial stability and in suitable laws and investment, but FFP preserves the status quo; you can't buy a club and invest in new players.

"If you're in Dagenham and Redbridge, you still go home at night and say: 'Some day I'll be in the Premier League.' Well, in Dagenham, you can still dream of the Premier League… but you won't get there."
