The answer is yes. How can Man City be banned for two years then not.? Money is the answer. Given the English quality of honesty, shouldnt those in charge be fired? But fired by whom?, since they run themselves. Fairness and democracy is in retreat everywhere, and gangsters are taking over. Not in brexit though.

Given what happened to us the other year against Godiva's lot, I'd also look a lot closer to home when talking about corruption in football.
ps. I refuse to let it go.
If Man City are not guilty of FFP, what have they been fined for
For not cooperating until they were told they must.Quote:

The whole idea of FFP is a con, it was introduced to stop Clubs from doing what Man City did. It was to preserve the status quo and maintain the dominance of the current top clubs. Whoever has the money has the power and they don't want someone buying a second tier club and financing it to success.
So yes, football is corrupt. It is set up to benefit the top clubs and keep the small clubs down. Man City did nothing wrong and in fact investing money into a business you buy is common business practice in all of types of business. Could you imagine is BT complained about an up and coming communications company getting some investment?
Who runs CAS? UEFA implemented the necessary sanctions to ban and fine Man City. UEFA have done what they felt was right, however, CAS disagreed and over turned that decision. To the best of my knowledge UEFA has no say with CAS decision making.
So accusing UEFA of being corrupt based on this Scenario in isolation is wrong.
City did do something wrong as they signed to FFP rules and didnt stick to them.
The fairest way is to say all clubs in premier league as an example can spend £200m per year on transfers/wages and then you will really see who the good managers are.
As for CAS no idea but they seem to ALWAYS reduce the bans for drug cheats and one of the 3 panal members on the City case has links to Abu Dhabi to so nothing dodgy there.
Money is king always has been and always will be.
