No fines, no points deductions, nothing whatsoever. Fortunately nothing of that nature would stand up in court because, at least in western Europe, it isn't wrongdoing to say you're going to do something and then not do it. And even the wise men of UEFA, at least those who don't work for Manchester United, can see the UEFA has flirted with disaster and a spirit of revenge won't help. UEFA will have to re-establish itself by sensible governance, not repeated trips to CAS.
I am amused by the strong moral tone taken by some infrequent visitors on here. They clasp their puritanical hands as they intone that part of the litany that tells us that money is the root of this problem. And greed. Tell that to the Sheikh, who rescued the club from impending administration, invested handsomely to breath new life into it and has made us into one of the world's biggest clubs, with money playing a sizeable part in the transformation. On the other hand, even the most cursory scan of the list of other ESL clubs confirms that these are indeed the biggest clubs in football - if we mean the clubs with the biggest debts in the game. To that extent it was all about money. And so today we see Barca and Real clinging on desperately in the hope "something will turn up". The reds in England are stuffed and discredited, along with Spurs and Agnelli has led his merry men to disaster. City, perhaps embarrassed but still unscathed can afford a cheery smile today, knowing it is a wonderful day and everything is going our way.
But the big cigar goes to the poster who wants Khaldoon to make a video similar to that nice Mr Henry. Khaldoon would never dream of treating our fans to a performance at all like that mendacious, insincere, platitudinous drip treated that coach busting scum to.
