The Artful Dodger 1,831 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The precedent is set, Manchester City, if found guilty, should be facing exactly the same, if not a stronger punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted May 22, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well according to that article its not really a punishment of any kind since they planned to not qualify for Champions League to avoid having to miss out on it and accept the FFP ban. It should be a longer ban and force clubs to prioritize things as well. The fine itself is also ludicrous along with the 'balance the books' clause. If they go after really big fish that is going to be a joke for them to overcome and find ways to siphon funds to make the books look legit. Banning them for a two year period would force clubs to do things right imo and make the fine a bit larger to really drive it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss 800 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Moves will have to made quickly today with the draw for the 2nd Qualifying Round being made this afternoon. Torino could suddenly find themselves starting their season a month earlier than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 How can you withdraw if you qualified? Isn't that illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a punishment is issued, the club then has to take the relevant steps to executing that punishment. It's the same as when Barcelona were handed their transfer punishment from FIFA and they sought advice from lawyers as to their rights under that ban... They were told they could make signings but not execute them through the official sources which is the situation Chelsea will now find themselves in. Barcelona simply resigned from sending in the relevant paperwork and in the case of a playing ban the club in question has to eliminate itself by stating the authoritative ban.

It's like when you're accused of an unlawful act and you plead guilty, you get a reprieve or your sentence is cut short. Atlético Madrid while an investigation was going on due to them signing underage players (the same act Barça were previously punsihed for) they handed over all the relevant paperwork during the investigation and admitted their actions due to ignorance previous to the Barça case... They got a reprieve and their sentence on a transfer ban was reduced to the period where you can't make signings which was negligent. A very clever move but only because they had used everything that had happened to Barcelona two years previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They basically accepted the ban now, and move on from the financial problems under their previous two owners, in the belief that they might qualify for the Champions League next season. They've, in effect, hit the reset button on their finances and 'only' miss out on the Europa League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss 800 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Quote The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued a consent award ratifying AC Milan's (the "Club") voluntary acceptance of a one year exclusion from UEFA Club competitions, in settlement of breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations in the three-year periods 2014-2017 and 2015-2018. The current shareholder took ownership of the Club in July 2018, inheriting substantial accumulated losses after the previous owner of AC Milan defaulted on debt obligations. These losses and the associated violation of FFP rules, as a consequence of actions taken under previous ownership, led to sanctions by UEFA. Whilst saddened by the fact that our fans will not be able to see their team compete in European competition next season, the Club recognises and respects FFP. The Club acknowledges it has no other choice but to accept the sanctions, as it seeks to forge a pathway back to full compliance. AC Milan remains committed to restoring the Club to its rightful place at the top of European football. Today's ruling will act as a stimulus to maximize the efforts to become fully compliant with FFP, while at the same time consolidating the competitiveness of the Club, and returning AC Milan to sustainability and a more positive future.

Manchester City have just been fined €340k for breaking the rules on signing young players. The same rules they broke back in 2017 and once again were fined €340k. We can go back to 2015 when Barcelona were fined €3m and banned from signing players for 3 windows (later reduced to 2 windows on appeal). Or maybe PSG who are yet to be fined in any way for their 100% known infractions on not only signing young players but also serial FFP law breakers. Their case has been shelved 4 times!
