If this is true we need to go and burn down UEFA's HQ
Martin Samuel is one of the article authors too. Hmmm, as we know, he's rarely a make it up merchant.
If that is true, it's such a blatantly ridiculous disparity they'd be destroyed in court if they tried to punish City more harshly. Can they possibly be that stupid at UEFA?
I'm sorry, but that can't be true. Even Platini and UEFA wouldn't be stupid enough to pull a stunt like that.
The Daily Fail must have that wrong?

Can it be used in court? Surely UEFA can "settle" what they like, we'd be arguing against FFP itself not against the negotiated punishments?Prestwich_Blue said:If that's true, we now have the ammunition to kill them in court.Daz_Blue said:WTF

How does their deficit compare to ours. I thought it was supposed to be similar. In which case the fine should end up being similar.The Man With The Stick said:I expect our punishment to be far less severe than PSGs given our co-operation over FFP, I still think the papers have plucked this '£50 million fine' out of thin air (or one dodgy source).
How would that ever stand up as a fair punishment?
Wouldn't that incriminate themselves?strongbowholic said:This is going to get really nasty isn't it?
I imagine the Qatari's negotiation point with UEFA was "reduce the fine and forget the squad limitations or we'll publish a list of all FIFA and UEFA delegates bribed to get us the World Cup."
Sadly, we have no such bargaining chip - unless the Qatari's share info with the UAE. Looks like we've no choice but to take them on.
