EPL Man City breach FIFA regs

[NottsYellow]

Apparently FIFA have found Man City GUILTY of breaching rules re signing U18 players.
They could have faced a ban from signing players for 2 years but instead they have been fined 370,000 swiss francs. Which I think is £315,000.

Chelsea may be using this as justification for their appeal then.

That's just pocket money for City. They will not even notice it's gone from the bank. Very weak from FIFA.

Good, long may they stay above the red scum.

Can't see them dropping below Swindon any time soon...

A percentage of overall revenue would fit better as a punishment for teams. Hurts the bigger teams in a more material way

Strange comment. What have the scum got to do with some irrelevant non-league (1) game?

Probably the equivalent of what some player in their under 21`s earns a week..................

FFP is complete and utter ? ? ? ? and the "punishment" about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Just shows that if a club has enough money, they can buy their way out of trouble. Should have been a transfer ban.
