Man City could face ban from European competition

Manchester City could be banned from the Champions League, perhaps as early as next season, as Uefa looks set to take strong action should the club be found to have flouted Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. An independent investigation by European football’s governing body into City’s behaviour was recently opened after information was made public by the Football Leaks hack and published in the German magazine Der Spiegel alleged City used sponsorship deals to circumvent rules on how much money owners can put into a club.


Lmao praying they actually ban them, but considering how spineless UEFA are, nothings gonna happen. Probably baiting for a bribe.

Manchester City could be banned from European competition over FFP rules

Manchester City face being banned from European competition if they are found guilty of breaking UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.

Football Leaks claimed last month that City had inflated their sponsorship income in order to comply with UEFA's break-even rules.

In 2014, City settled their FFP case with UEFA and accepted a £49m fine.

Three weeks ago, UEFA announced it would re-open cases if new information came to light.

On Sunday in Dublin, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin confirmed he was prepared to take action if rules had been broken.

"We are assessing the situation," he said. "We have an independent body working on it. Very soon you will have an answer on what will happen in this concrete case."

In March 2016, Galatasaray were banned from Europe for one season for breaking FFP rules.

Man City planning a £500m "charity" show at UEFA HQs as we speak.

Meanwhile, Pep threatens to resign if City can't buy young talent Uefa Nyon, who is essential to his plans.

If it was the law they'd be nicked for it

So why should this be any different?

They've used financial trickery to get round the rules.... I would compare it to tax evasion. Its the same principle
Corinthians 15:57; But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus

UEFA bottle it every time they have to make the big decisions whether it be racist chanting or FFP violations.

I'd love to see them ban the nouveau riche from Europe but I shan't hold my breath.

If they don't get punished, then why should any other club ever follow any FFP rule ever again? They have to set a standard here.

Don't have the power to do that do they? Would have to be further punishment from the FA I'd expect.

Surely they can only impose European sanctions.

Either way f***ing ban them.
