Don't know whats up,I've cleared my cache etc. Maybe its a browser extension stopping them.
Anyway someone asked earlier if the fines count towards FFP the following year,they don't and so can be paid directly by PSG's and Man City's owners.
Pointless.
If City have failed UEFA's version they'll be in trouble for the premier league one too.Hopefully a more befitting punishment will be their reward.Last edited by G; 06-05-14, 06:59 PM.Comment

Manchester City could be expelled from the Champions League if they fight Uefa sanctions imposed for breaching financial fair play rules.

They will come to some agreement. UEFA have played this well - they were never going to go balls to the wall with punishments this time around, but if City push them they will have to react with a harsher punishment. It also allows them the chance to send a message to the other teams.Originally posted by Bender View Post
Hypothetical question - What would happen to the PL spot of city were excluded - would it go to Everton, or could UEFA give it to another country for the year as a slap in the face to the PL to get City in-line?Comment

I wonder if the fine is exempt from future accounting assessmentsOriginally posted by destinydude View Post
If it isnt it is going to impact their ability to meet the FFP rules further down the lineBob Paisley - "This club has been my life. I'd go out and sweep the street and be proud to do it for Liverpool if they asked me to."Comment

It is exempt which is stupid. Nothing to stop city's owner paying that himself from his loose change.Originally posted by Lecter View PostComment

Will City’s fine cause future Break Even issues?
There seems to be a difference in opinion in the media about whether Man City’s £50m fine will count towards any future FFP Break Even test. Some have reported that the fine would be excluded - on the face of it, this makes sense as it would make it harder to pass the test in future years. However as they stand, the FFP rules don’t currently contain the provision for fines to be excluded.
Interestingly, BBC’s 5 Live’s @richard_conway reports that the fine is actually a phased deduction from central Champions League prize revenue over three seasons. If this were the case, then it seems likely that the deduction WOULD impact the Break Even test present issues in future years.
The accounting treatment of the fine has other interesting dimensions. From this season (2013/14), new spending constraint rules have been in place in the Premier League. These restrict wage increases to a maximum of £4m per season, or to the value of a club’s ‘Own Revenue Uplift’ if greater than £4m. This Own Revenue Uplift is effectively made up of changes in Commercial income, plus profit on player trading, plus changes in Champions League revenue. The issue for City is how the ‘fine’ will be treated by the Premier League for the purposes of revenue uplift if it represents a reduction in Champions League Revenue. If Conway is correct, it seems likely that the UEFA’s sanction would restrict the club’s ability to increase their wage bill next season (although the club recently forecasted an increase in Commercial Income for the 2013/14 season).
It is worth pointing that City’s last reported wage-bill was much higher than the previous year’s as it included Mancini’s pay-off. In previous years, City, like other PL clubs have categorised managerial pay-off as one-off Exceptional items (rather than as Wages). By boosting their wage-bill in the 2012/13 season, the club have insulated themselves against some of the impact of the PL constraint rules and also against UEFA’s proposed/intended punishment. It will be interesting to see if following events at UEFA, Premier League clubs consider objecting to City’s unusual treatment of Mancini’s pay-off.Bob Paisley - "This club has been my life.

I would assume that the place would go to the team in 5th, while I haven't seen this explicitly I have seen that other clubs directly affected by City's breach of the rules would be given the ability appeal if they thought the penalty was too lenient, I would imagine this to be a logical extension of that argument.Originally posted by RedAndWhite View Post
