Manchester City face £49m fine and wage cap for financial fair play breach

[oldironside]

Manchester City are facing Uefa sanctions for breaching financial fair play rules which would see the club limited to a 21-man Champions League squad instead of the usual 25 players next season.

City, who are still strongly challenging the settlement offer from Uefa, are also facing a fine in the region of €60m (£49m) over three years, and a cap imposed for next season to ensure there is no rise in this season's Champions League A squad wage bill.

Amazing, so Mansour can buy the league title, and next the European Cup, and all they are going to do is fine him pocket money. The game is dead and the presumptive English champions are nothing more than a front to deflect attention away from human rights abuses in Abu Dhabi. Sickening.
