Re: City & FFP (continued)
It's quite funny that a lot of you seem to be missing the bigger picture here. UEFA Champions League is an invite only competition, so you could refuse to pay the fine or boycott the Champions League if you really wanted, but you really think it'll hurt UEFA?
They'll simply invite the next available team into the Champions League and life would move on. You're not important enough to derail the Champions League through boycotting, it would still remain the most prestigious club level competition available and you'd just be the ones missing out - which again, would simply hurt you financially through lack of sponsorships.
For those of you calling it "pocket change", wow, it shows just how ridiculous your views on money in football have become from your sugar daddies looking after you. £50 million is an incredible fine. Money even your club wouldn't want to lose.
Again, City would probably refuse to pay or challenge in a court of law, however I think the fear of no Champions League is a much scarier idea.
