Financial Fair Play

They've accepted the ban from the Europa League as part of a settlement. I doubt they would be so compliant if the Champions League was at stake.

UEFA will use it to claim they serious, but what they do with City is what counts. They won't settle before a CAS decision or ultimately a Swiss Supreme Court decision. The Milan decision is camouflage.
 
FFP officially dead - City killed it stone dead with their lawyers.

Now is the age of the billionaires spending on their clubs - owners across the leagues are eagerly anticipating what's coming.

Well, except our eternally useless duo, the more affluent of whom is hiding on his sailboat in the Bahamas doing absolutely nothing.

Sigh.
 
It’s complete BS. Forget moving FFP, football may as well be moved to RIP...now the last doubt has been removed, and it’s confirmed that football is a rich man’s play toy. Football is a money tinkling contest. Whoever can spend the most money to buy the best players will win out and NOTHING can be done to stop it.
 
WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE FFP?

Sports lawyer Daniel Geey speaking to Sky Sports News...

"The main UEFA objection was to stem European club losses, from the 1.7bn euro mark in 2011, to clubs collectively making profit. That has to be seen as a success for UEFA.

"We're now talking about very narrow grounds of breaches, and City's lawyers have put forward very specific arguments as to why they were not in breach.

"I'm not sure this puts the cat among the pigeons in terms of the whole FFP regime, but this is obviously a very significant victory for Emirates Marketing Project, based on them saying that UEFA had got it wrong over a period of time."



PREMIER LEAGUE INVESTIGATION REMAINS ONGOING

While Emirates Marketing Project's European ban has been overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, they do remain under investigation by the Premier League.

The league opened their investigation in March 2019 - just one day after UEFA revealed they were looking into the claims that City had breached their financial fair play rules.

The Premier League are looking into those same allegations, as well as claims over City's recruitment of academy players and third-party ownership.
