FIFA investigation: No transfer ban

[cleavers]

Fifa have had a big fat zero of evidence on us and shat themselves when we threatened them. So they revert to type and fine us.

I think you are confusing your FIFA and UEFA's up, we've admitted we did wrong, and been fined for transfer irregularities (regarding youth players).

 

[SWP's back]

Just been announced that we’ve received a heavy fine (€370k) but no transfer ban following FIFA’s investigation. Excellent.

Fantastic news. Dippers will he furious.

Can't help but feel Bayern Munich are behind this somehow.

Eh? Behind us not getting a ban, lol.

Hopefully the FFP investigation will fall on its arse.

Gill and his cronies won't rest until they've nailed us to the cross.

Set an example City .... refuse to pay .... insist the €370,000 goes to lower league struggling clubs ... not lining the pockets of FIFA officials and the like.

So much piss to be boiled

Sounds like we admitted to wrong over 1 player, and evaded a ban because Chelsea got found guilty over 29 and Barcelona over 10.

For context -

Violations of Article 19:

Atletico Madrid - 103

Real Madrid - 12

Barcelona - 21

Chelsea - 29

They all got 2 window bans as punishment.

Amused to see the Stone & Roan reports on it later

Eh? Behind us not getting a ban, lol.

According to this forum they are responsible for everything else.

Think Chelsea fans will be front of the queue

Manchester City have been fined 370,000 Swiss Francs (£315,000) after admitting breaching Fifa rules on the international transfer and registration of under-18 players.

Fifa said City breached article 19 of its regulations: "International transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18."

Chelsea were banned for signing players for two transfer windows for a similar rule breach - but the club are appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to have that overturned.
