Today, news broke that Manchester City’s two-year Champions League ban has been overturned by the Court or Arbitration for Sport.
It was decided that they did not disguise equity funding but failed to co-operate with UEFA, meaning the punishment is only a £10m fine.
That’s a £10m fine for years of systematic, proven cheating – revealed by a whistleblower who is currently in Portuguese jail.
Liverpool have played by the rules of FFP for ten years. We spend what we can afford. We release truthful figures. This decision is an absolute farce and if UEFA have an ounce of credibility, they’ll scrap FFP.
It clearly doesn’t mean anything and will now no longer be any kind of deterrent for teams looking to break it.
Below is the reaction from Reds online. What an absolute joke.
