To be fair, it's what the 'Great' British Empire (other Empires are availiable) were built on for generations!
But yes, this is a footballing equivalent!
UEFA have no real control, everyone knows how corrupt they are, only a matter of time before a super League starts, teams in other leagues won't be happy City can do what they want with their money and want out
Total disgrace and just basically proves FFP is a joke it's no fault of UEFA they tried there best but CAS obviously can be bought and have just basically made UEFA and FIFA powerless.
Money talks and Man city just killed all hope of leveling the playing field

They're part of the corruption - look at Platini, etc
Show is run by the sponsors and betting companies - rest are muppets to facilitate the media process, etc
Well maybe now we'll see us flex our financial muscles as one of the Top 10 richest clubs in the world with our owner being worth £4.3 billion and us having 0 major honours and a squad that's been in major need of a cash injection for 20 years now....

Good question - can someone clarify this?
EL places still likely to drop to 7th given league/FA cup winners so we've got a good chance. Not sure what the permutations are if Wolves/Man U win EL though...
Depends where we finish, I think 7th is the last place that takes into EL unless it’s the scum who win FA Cup and they finish below that.
Wolves/Man Utd go into Champions League and England has 5 teams in it.
Think I'll go cheer myself up by rewatching VAR rule out sterling's goal and subsequently aid our victory in the CL quarters
So EL would drop down a place. You're sure?
I wonder if City will further appeal the 10m Euro fine?
I'm mean, if they are not in the wrong here then surely they will want the record set straight......or will they be absolutely delighted with the outcome and never mention this ever again......

That part of the fine was served because they failed to assist UEFA adequately from the start. It’s not in relation to the FFP offence directly.
Maybe they should appeal it though as they’d probably get £10m plus 6 additional points at the start of next season.

What's £30m when you have more than £555 billion?

The fine was upheld for the club hindering the investigation. Not for any wrongdoing against the rules as laid out. It wouldn't surprise me to see them fight it, but it's less likely that they'd get the result they are after in my opinion. And I'm not even sure where they can go after CAS? European Court of Justice?
Utterly disgracefully decision.
The expectation was 1 season banned but to not even have that is quite something
