Spurs are not even well run is the joke.

Look at how they wasted the bale money when that sort of fee meant something. That was lsrgely a joke.

Look how badly they messed up their stadium build and had to delay going there due to it being a death trap. More waste as they rented wembley a season longer than they were meant to.

Look at how the cost of the bowl exploded to the final incredibly huge burden on a club that looks like thry not need to finish 5th just to keep the revenue flowing. Mill stone

I hope this shuts up the Levy haters as it finally shows a club has to live within its means. Next up PSG.

There is living within your means and then there is Levy`s living within your means, nobody is asking for City levels of spending, but rather spending commensurate with our status as the 8th richest and one of the most profitable clubs in the world.

I agree Billy, we could probably get away with spending more. Still, this saga is evidence that FFP has teeth and teams have to abide by it. Personally, I think City has gotten off lightly. Given that their incredible levels of spending gave them titles, there is an argument that says they should officially be stripped of said titles, like a doped athlete would.

Juventus all the way

Sarri is in trouble there
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They’ve lost three games all season.

They’re level on points with Inter at the top of the league, in the cup semifinal, and absolutely walked their CL group.

How is he in trouble? Because they lost a single game against Verona?
---------------------------------------------------------
There's been a considerable decline in quality since Allegri left. SarriBall just hasn't clicked there, results wise it's not a crisis but they've been very pedestrian all season - heavily relying on Ronaldo's individual quality. Similar situation to what he had at Chelsea in many ways.

The fair thing to do would be giving him another season regardless if they win anything & judge him next year (same as with Chelsea), but football's not fair. If Guardiola becomes realistic they'll kick him to the curb without remorse.

What about the longer term impacts, if their sponsorship arrangement is illegal, then they are going to be failing ffp every season for the foreseeable future.

If the CAS upholds the decision (and city did sign up to ffp) city are going to need to shift a number of high earners...

City will lodge an appeal. The case will not have been decided until well into next year, so City will still be in next year's CL. The ban - if upheld - will start in the 21/22 season. So Guardiola can finish his contract unaffected by the ban.

it wont be, do you think uefa want the likes of aguero, de bruyne, sterling and walker out of the tournament?

Maybe the question should not "will Pep stay" but rather should he "be allowed to stay"?

Surely Pep had to have had some knowledge about the corruption charges against City? If so, then he also has dirty hands!
