I think for once UEFA have behaved with something like commendable sense and moderation AND I think City will consider the penalty to be a very small price to pay to be free of the ESL. The sums involved appear paltry in comparison to the fine imposed on City in 2014,which is unfair, but the financial position of the clubs involved is not good (though better at City!) but the fines do make a point and now leave the way clear to making such a sporting atrocity impossible in the future. So, for City the agenda is pay up, eat some humble pie and win more trophies.
Yeah but imagine singing "Oh what a fine. We pay loads more cos we're winning it. You pay less because you're fucking shit. What a feeling, what a fine".
yeah but I’m sick of City being the punch bag. Especially in this case because clearly, the real American culprits will get off lightly & Spurs scot free

We’re always eating humble pie. Wish we could give it to other clubs & get better treatment

All our rivals have resigned from their posts within UEFA. What ever fine we pay will be worth every penny, just for that alone.

I didn’t know that. Just glad it’s not based on this year when the clubs that instigated the ESL aren’t even in the CL
Have you a link to this info?

just seen it.
They will also have 5% of Uefa competition revenues withheld for one season, starting in 2023-24, and this money will be redistributed, including in the UK.
Feel better about it all now - cheers

Given that a Glazer has said he will cover the fine and the 5% (as far as I can tell), it'll be fairly irrelevant - I expect City will get an owner input to cover it too.
Mansour can certainly afford to.

The actual rules say 'during the Season a Club shall not enter or play'. We agreed to join the new competition but it hadn't started. I can't see what the PL can do if we get stroppy, if we do agree to any sanction it'll just be to stop them crying.Legally did we actually join this new ESL organisation?
Our was it just letter of intent or something similar?
It's the joining which seems to put us in breach of the PL rule.
I don't think we'll challenge it unless the fine is considered excessive given that it could be argued the breach of the rule was corrected within 48 hours with no impact other than breach of trust?
L.9. Except with the prior written approval of the Board, during the Season a Club shall not enter or play its senior men’s first team in any competition other than: L.9.1. the UEFA Champions League; L.9.2. the UEFA Europa League; L.9.3. the F.A. Cup; L.9.4. the F.A. Community Shield; L.9.5. the Football League Cup; or L.9.6. competitions sanctioned by the County Association of which it is a member.

Word on the street is Liverpool will pay their fine in '2018-19 Liverpool Premier League Champions' t-shirts.
Even a £50m fine will only shift 5% of their stock.
