Two Year Academy Transfer Ban Imposed On City

[BillyShears]

... for signing youth players. Two years with the second one suspended for tapping up youngsters.

I'd like to think that any digging on us was no more excessive than on any other team and as with all things connected to the club we are treated equally as others......

Looks like we've been done worse than the dippers.
Bad times.

Well, if we have broken the rules, then due to our own stupidity, we deserve it.

Yep, there are times i look at our club and am amazed how professional we now are and then are other times when we look as though we're still run by Peter Swales as a corner shop, this is one of those times.

Three times higher fine than Liverpool for signing one extra player?

Harsh to say, but whoever is responsible should lose their job.

 

[Gelsons Dad]

Arse.
You would think with our organisation we could stick to the rules!

Coming hot on the heels of the 'administrative errors" which led to the anti doping charges we faced recently, this really doesn't look good. Our administrators need a slap and they need to work a little harder to ensure everything is above board. The world of football doesn't need any excuse to clip our wings and limit our power, so lets stop making it easy for them.

Bring back Bernard Halford !!

We should use this as an opportunity now to make the best of what we have and not constantly strive for the greener field.

11 year old from Everton and 15 year old from Wolves....

Christ, Why do we need to tap them up. Surely they would love to leave Wolves to join us anyway!

 

[rowarta]

that should save some money on youth scouting for 12 months

Surely they'll need to redouble their scouting efforts, we can still sign lads not already registered with another club.

That 11 year old must be some player.

Tapping up an 11 years old, wow.

Who ever is responsible should be sacked,but £300,000, £200,000 more than Liverpool is taking the piss,,Seems were the cash-cow still..
