PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Rags and Barca failing FFP. Barcelona were issued a larger €500,000 ($560,700) fine "for wrongly reporting, in the financial year 2022, profits on disposal of intangible assets (other than player transfers) which are not a relevant income under the regulations," UEFA said in a statement.

Both Milans and PSG fined last season also

guess trying to ban clubs from competitions only applies to us

Thought this was interesting. “It also examined the huge sums flowing through leading clubs and the uneven way authorities have applied rules.”

I‘d imagine the WhatsApp group will be examining all those documents to explain that to their fan boys.…..

I bet the WhatsApp group don't discuss the sentence before...

"Football Leaks' data seen by Reuters showed how some of the richest and most prominent figures in soccer avoided tax by channelling earnings offshore."

Why wasn't there outrage about that at the time?!?!

The favouritism continues. It’s not a lot of money but just enough to make it look as if they - & Barca - have been harshly punished. They then don’t get the real punishment we’d have got such as points deduction; Mickey Mouse trophy taken away from them; or a ban of some sort. No mention of asterisks…..

Exactly. The “investigators” are executives at the club!!!

It's UEFA's FFP, and their announcements are normally once it's been decided like this one. No-one hears [edit: earlier than the announcement] about penalties which are agreed by both sides and are deemed minor.

This is likely to have changed since the first time FFP periods were important in 2014, but seems in line with more recent announcements of penalties.

That obviously was relevant to City's last bout with UEFA and I expect that CAS' warning has cleaned up UEFA's processes quite a lot, with the rearrangement of their committees.

I doubt that these punishments would have gone to whatever UEFA's new structure committees are - probably much simpler and not needing a long investigation.
 
A club statement read: “While disappointed by the outcome, Manchester United accepts this fine for what UEFA acknowledges to be a minor technical breach of its previous Financial Fair Play rules.

“This reflected a change in the way that Uefa adjusted for Covid 19 losses during the 2022 reporting period, which allowed us to recognise only €15m of the €281m of revenues lost due to the pandemic within the FFP calculation.

“Post pandemic, the clubs’ revenues have recovered strongly and are forecast to reach a record level in the current financial year.

“The club continues to support the enforcement of rules to promote financial fair play and sustainability across domestic and European football.”
