Why Man. City should be banned
not the first time they have broken financial rules for the champions league
in 2014, they broke the rules as the team agreed to pay a conditional £49m fine as well as accepting restrictions on the size of its squad for European play and incoming transfers.
have had inflated sponsorships since 2011
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: the financial fair play is to have a chance, the sponsorship has to be at the market price. It cannot be doubled, tripled or quadrupled because that means it is better that we don't do it and we leave everybody free. That can be defended as well, but if they bring the rules in they have to be respected."
