Without that, City would have to reduce costs if it is not to fall afoul of FFP regulations again–and that, of course, will make it even harder to keep or attract players already having doubts given the lack of European football.On the other hand, if City is reprieved, then the FFP regulations would have effectively been proved toothless. “Life is too short to carry grudges,” he said. "However, considering i) the financial resources of MCFC; ii) the importance of the cooperation of clubs in investigations conducted by the CFCB, because of its limited investigative means; and iii) MCFC's disregard of such principle and its obstruction of the investigations, the CAS Panel found that a significant fine should be imposed on MCFC and considered it appropriate to reduce UEFA's initial fine by 2/3, i.e. PSG appealed, the case went to CAS and, with UEFA backing its investigatory over its adjudicatory chamber, the decision went in favor of the club while also arguing there had been a procedural breach.Although many of the details seem similar–the issue is essentially whether a state’s sovereign wealth fund has been artificially inflating sponsorship deals with other state-run companies to exaggerate revenues and so legitimize greater spending–UEFA's investigatory and adjudicatory chambers are on this occasion on the same side.There are also the financial considerations. The chairman expressed relief, suggesting City players have previously missed out because of the club they represent.“It was a combination of being pleased but also a bit relieved,” he said.
