The reigning English champions were found to have circumvented FFP rules between 2012 and 2016 and have been fined €30 million.
City’s problems are not just with the UEFA. Serious questions will asked by the Premier League, with a points deduction plus removal of City’s titles in 2012 and 2014 all possible outcomes.
