Or Competition and Corporate law, wrong/illegal on so many different levels.Eds said:Belfast_city said:Absolute joke,50 million!!! Where exactly does the money go and what is it used on??? Uefa is /FIFA is bloody corrupt,I would love city to take this to court and win but would we be guaranteed to win our case???
I think the odds are in our favour. I hate to burst their bubble but UEFA laws don't take precedent over employment law etc.

1. £50m is not beer money, I don't care who you are. You could save a lot of lives in Africa with £50m and having it extorted out of you is not "OK" just because you can afford it. It's morally unacceptable.

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.
It's an admission of liability when he's done absolutely nothing wrong so yeah, he might be.gio's side step said:Appreciate the principle, but the reality is our owner is required to pay a £50 mil fine which does not count to future FFP calculations. You think he's that arsed? Seriously?
