From what we read, City wanted to fight this and UEFA didn't, so they offered City a fine and reduced squad for the CL. Doesn't really matter how much was involved x or y, the fact is we failed, UEFA knew it, but didn't want to fight it. That lad who is now in charge of FIFA, oversaw the whole thing. He is making noises that he is a peacekeeper and thinks City's owners are a good thing for football. I would also assume, that any club who we've bought players from thinks we are a good thing, as the additional transfer monies we pay, help their club and situation. It is just the elite few who are making the noise. The whole FFP thing needs banning, and let anyone have a go if they've got the cahonas
