Manchester City are set to be fined £50m and will have to contest next season's Champions League with a squad size limited to 21 players, after being found guilty of breaching UEFA's financial fair play rules.


Sky sources understand the fine will be payable over three years although City are reportedly contesting the sanctions.
And with City deciding to appeal, the case will now be handed to a panel whose non-negotiable decision will be final.
Full confirmation of the fine and conditions imposed is expected by the end of the week or early next week.
The risk of not agreeing with this decision is that the club could face even stiffer penalties from the CFCB's (UEFA's club financial control board) adjudicatory panel.
The reduction in the size of their Champions League squad however, from 25 to 21, will hit the club hardest, with City having to ensure that there are still eight locally-trained players in their squad.

UEFA president Michel Platini said recently that he did not expect any club to be excluded from next season's Champions League for breaching spending limits.
French giants Paris Saint Germain are one of eight other clubs currently under investigation for breaking UEFA's financial rules.
French newspaper L'Equipe has reported that PSG are facing even stiffer penalties from UEFA than City.
Like City, they will be fined and see their Champions League squad reduced. But they will also have restrictions imposed on their wage bill and their transfers.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is among those to have previously called for harsh sanctions on clubs that break Financial Fair Play rules.

He said last week: "There are rules to apply for Financial Fair Play. If you don't respect them, you have to apply the rules.
"One of the rules is that normally you should be banned for the excess of the financial amount that is not justified, that is if you are £100m overboard, you should be punished for £100m of your wages bill in the Champions League.
"I want to see that respected, if that is not respected, then the financial fair play will have problems to be respected in the future because everyone will just not consider it at all.
"If it is not respected, of course we will feel let down."

Great in principle, but can't help thinking that fining City £50m is like fining us 8p.

Kick 'em out of Europe for a couple of seasons instead.

I agree, they need penalising in a better way like Breadders said or giving them points reductions etc.

Fully agree, which is why the whole thing is laughable.

To try and make things fairer, you bring in laws and restrictions which are designed to limit the extra advantage that clubs like City (ie where money is no object to them) enjoy because of their fabulous wealth.

(Wealth which has not been generated in the main by being a good football team and winning things.)

If they then break these rules, what is the point of trying to fine them to make them think twice about doing it again?

It's not going to work, is it because, (drum roll..............) they've got an infinite pot of cash to throw about.

You might as well fine them in bottle tops or sea shells.

Stupid, flawed system which makes it look like UEFA are serious about this issue on the face of it, but which proves deep down, that they don't give a fuck.

And......fines like these will only really have an effect on the other clubs who slip up but don't have City's resources, so you can argue that it's like taxing the poor.

The tea-towel posse have just paid it.

They had a look behind the sofas for some loose change and only had to look behind one.

50 mil is worth it to them.

Its just the price of one more top player, without any wages to pay.

They can just factor potential fines into their budget.

If they need 4 new players and have 200 million to spend then they just buy 4 players at 40 mil each, which comes to 160 mil, and still have 40 mil left over for fines.

It would be good if the income from such fines are spread out evenly to all the lower league clubs who have complied with the financial fair play rulings.

It will go to make the FA board members bonus bigger than the last one.

I doubt they will be thinking too much about that tonight - 1 point from winning the title.

Liverpool really did fuck it up big style.
