He's a cheat, always has been.
Where will they find the money? Is there a Just Giving page we can donate to, help them out?

Bit like fining one of us £50. Rather not pay it, but won't do any significant damage! I wonder how they swung that?
I wonder where the panel will be holidaying next and what expensive watches they’ll be looking at the time with ?

The fine is not for any breach of FFP Rules but for failing to engage in a cooperative manner with the UEFA inquiry.
I'm not certain any of us truly understand the charges they had faced.

€10m fine for failing to co-operate seems a bit excessive.
Though I called this yesterday when I was discussing it with my PP.
UEFA need to take a good look at themselves at their set up. They wont as theres too many snouts in the trough.

It wasn’t UEFA, they banned City. It was CAS who overturned it.

From what I read that's not really the case. The way I read it, City have not been exonerated for the alleged failings that UEFA cited them for bit for the absolute shambolic way in which UEFA and their club financials arm have handled the case, which by all accounts was based on illlegally obtained information. If that is true it doesn't then matter how much truth is in the accusation.
CAS reduced UEFAs fine to £10m based on a lesser "conviction" of being obstructive to the investigation.
At no point in this has anyone "let City off" except in the sense that the absolute pantomime case UEFA built in the first place, effectively let City off.
Spot on about the reputation of the UEFA swamp dwellers though

So UEFAs ban should still stand, if the fine is for obstruction!
It’s a mess but that was to be expected if it involves UEFA and big money.

No, UEFAs ban is only enforceable as the result of a proper judicial process. That is where they seem to have failed miserably. Whether City are guilty or not is immaterial if evidence is illegally obtained.
The fine for obstruction is, by and large, associated but for a different offence.
