It seems that the investigation into Manchester City on potential breaking of the FFP rules has escalated.
"IC members are thought to have formed the view, following a formal investigation launched in March, that if the AC concludes that City have misstated their income to Uefa, as alleged, the offence is so serious as to warrant a Champions League ban."
This relates to investment into the club by their billionaire owner being disguised as Sponsorship.

Sounds like this investigation could be the real deal, not just a whitewash, and City could be in real trouble. However, I can't say I have confidence in UEFA to see it through, if City are guilty. Probably a plea bargain fine or something similar.

They're all at it. What's the real point in actually enforcing these rules because the real talent isn't on the field, it's the lawyers that work out how they get around these rules. It doesn't really annoy me when I hear about one of these clubs getting caught because it so easily could have been someone else at that level.

Just can't see any of the big clubs ever being excluded.
Now if a Slovenian team forgets to round up some figures and is E3.60 out, then they'll get hammered.

Paradoxically, if you're rich enough you can circumvent the FFP rules easily.

Can only see this ending with them just getting a naughty slap on the wrist and nothing else.
As many have said, if this was a team from Slovenia/Latvia etc, they would get a European ban, transfer ban etc. Virtually everything thrown at them.
