It’s a bit disappointing that Etihad haven't done the same.

On another note of positivity / pie in the sky thinking:
Should City be banned next season, what is to stop our owners setting up a rival European tournament with fair practice at its heart?
After all City have a Champions League squad as an asset, it would be a restraint of trade to prevent City from using that asset for commercial gain ie use those players in alternative tournaments. When English Clubs were banned from Europe, the FA set up the Super Cup, so there is a precedent for this.
We know:
- Rangers and Celtic would be interested if the money was right, as the current system of UCL qualification seriously damages their ability to compete.
- Similarly, Ajax (G14) and Feyenoord are suffering.
- Galatassary have fallen off a cliff since their ban
- Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle & Wolves all have the stature, fan base etc, if they fail to qualify for a UEFA tournament, why shouldn't they compete?
That's 8 off the top of my head. You could invite former Eastern European finalists like Red Star Belgrade, Ferencváros, Dynamo Kiev etc to raise significant interest in Eastern Europe.
And to add a twist, invite two African clubs. Their time zones are similar, and the whole of Africa would be interested. It would also be seen as a way of helping developing nations.
1- Split the teams into pools where they play each other home and away, then add extra games against other teams, so its a bit like NFL, so each club then gets 10- 12 matches guaranteed.
2 - Give each team group points to start with based on their club coefficients, to level the field, like a handicap. So for 8 teams the best side gets 1 pt, the 2nd best 2pts etc, adjust it for more teams. This balances the rich v poor argument, and will open up who can win it, and make the whole tournament anti elitist.
3 - Have a strict anti racist stance (show up UEFA). if there is any racist abuse, announce it over the PA, and if it continues abandon the game with a 100-0 defeat plus a £2m fine to cover thr cost of identifying and banning those responsible. Should it happen again, ban the club next seasion.
4 - Broadcast it on FREEVIEW On UCL/Euro nights any where they can, and on YouTube, so it can be viewed world wide. Who will pay for UEFA if they can get something similar for nothing? Advertising revenue could be immense.
5 - Change VAR to VA, have a grey border for offside, if a player is in this, the referee's/ linesman's decision stands. For all other decisions, they have 30 seconds to make a decision, if the VA can't decide, go with the referee's decision.
6 - Give each club that enters £50m, and the winners £200m (Help us to balance those pesky FFP books)
Mr Mansour, please send me £1.5 Billion in seed capital, and I will make it so
