Man City Banned From Europe

FFP is basically a tool to keep the top teams at the top,if there was a limit on transfers,say a maximum of £150m per season and a set wage budget per season it would level the playing field a fair bit,but the aim is to keep certain clubs at the top table

I think it’s important to note that Manuel Pellegrini basically caused all of this by spending about a billion quid on utter guff like Mangala, Bony and Jovetic.

Why do we want budgets? The only way we catch anybody is if spending is increased.

City and us are the only clubs who spend money anymore. No other owners in the league bother.

Id assume it could be a case of big teams signing players just for the sake.

Think we saw it with City didn’t we? Signing the likes of Rodwell, Sinclair in one year to boost Home Grown, with no intention of ever playing them.

Don't see why the definition matters?

TV broadcasters care how many people watch your matches and sponsors care about how many people they reach through their investment.

So could these fans not watch both the breakaway league AND the premier league?

If City wins (or the punishment becomes so watered down that they may as well have), that would be tantamount to CAS saying that leagues may not regulate. If you can't punish the member clubs for accounting fraud, what can you punish them for?

City's best hope is probably a reduction in the postseason ban to a single year.

I think it will get reduced to either 1 season or they will have to pick a smaller squad for 2 seasons, I think they had that punishment before

If City win it would allow rich benefactors to pump money in to other clubs

Some will but not enough numbers to keep the revenue to the Premier League as high.

They could.. I guess it depends on how you can view it, unless it's included with a package you already have then yes but I'd imagine that any break away league will have its own streaming channel much more money to be made that way. So if your team were in a competition that can only be viewed 1 way are you going to keep other subscriptions where you'll never see your team?

If city had further evidence to prove their innocence surely they would have revealed that during the inquiry process. I don't think they're gonna get off with this one.

 

[Lloydystark]

Imagine if we get in the CL and Man City aren’t in it haha we could get ederson, Bernardo Silva, Fernandinho, and aguero all on 2 year loan deals

2 year ban will be a 1 year ban on appeal. Even if they get a points deduction it makes no difference this season.

They will have to sell players though to balance out the losses and pep will probably leave at the end of the season.

I agree that they may possibly get a reduction to one year but they do have previous for financial misdemeanours so I think uefa may not be so kind to them.

 

[Brisan123]

oh, an expert has spoken

Almost esk like in its detail lol

 

[Brisan123]

They haven’t fixed a 25 point lead ffs.

I hate them as much as the next blue, but City wouldn’t haven’t kept pace all year.

They would if they invested in dodgy doctors lol

 

[Brisan123]

Yup.

CAS will rule in their favour and FFP will be killed.

Which isn't a bad thing for us like with our mate in the shadows. lol lol

Have to disagree strongly there



Our mate is well out of the shadows now.
30m worth out of the shadows lol
