Their bus was attacked and their players and manager have been rattled ever since.
Cut them some slack.
Uefa charged City.
City denied the charges.
UEFA offered a compromise.
City agreed.
End of story.
Financial Fair Play was designed to keep the successful clubs happy, and stop them them leaving UEFA.
It was the most anti-competitive legislation, a drawbridge pulled up to shut out anyone with the ambition to challenge the status quo.
If City, PSG, or anyone else spent their own money, without piling debt on the Club, whose business is it?
Arsenal, A.C. Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and many more will have you believe they have history, class, built on organic growth...
Yeah right.
They have all bought success. All been injected with massive resources they haven't earned. Everyone has.
So, I hope these e-mails are genuine, and yeah, so what, same as it ever was.
The rules were scaled down right after AC Milan were taken over by a Chinese Billionaire.
Not fussed about FFP if I’m being honest. All it does is deny anyone challenging the elite/richest.

FFP is anti competitive and we'd feel agreived if we won the lottery and couldn't spend money.
What I have a bigger issue with is the corruption of club's to circumvent the rules. The rules may suck but dems the rules.
It's hard for many fans to take that other clubs can spend without limitation, but harder to swallow that they fake compliance through deceipt.
What is sad is that you don't trust the authorities to clamp down. They have little interest in justice, just pandering to the most powerful clubs.

PSGs owners "loaned" the owner of Red Star Belgrade €5m so he could bet on the outcome of the PSG-Red Star game that his team would lose by 5 gols.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember reading somewhere that Barca & Real do something similar to each other, whereby they pay the smaller clubs a lump sum to 'try harder' in the game against their rivals.

Don’t know if that still happens but it used to be the norm. Was basically offered as an incentive to teams with nothing to play for towards the end of the season when the title race was tight.
