As is custom, full details of\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u2019s investigation and evidence, as well the detailed findings by\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CAS<\/span>, will be made public in the coming\u00a0days.<\/p>\n<h2>Were\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u00a0fair with Man\u00a0City?<\/h2>\n<p>Every football club participating in\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u00a0club competitions must adhere to the\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CFCB<\/span>\u00a0rules, including but not limited to\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">FFP<\/span>, which prevents clubs from spending more than what they earn.\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u00a0through the\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CFCB<\/span>\u2019s investigatory chamber monitors clubs adherence to the rules and if necessary, refer any anomaly to the adjudicatory chamber for\u00a0sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>In carrying out these duties, the\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CFCB<\/span>\u00a0must, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/MultimediaFiles\/Download\/uefaorg\/Clublicensing\/02\/60\/83\/59\/2608359_DOWNLOAD.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Article 10<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CFCB<\/span>\u2019s procedural rules, ensure strict confidentiality of all facts of a case until a final decision is delivered. According to Man City\u2019s statement in response to\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u2019s original ban, the Investigatory Chamber made public in December 2018, the outcome of the case \u201cbefore any investigation had begun\u201d. Clearly, this violation of the\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CFCB<\/span>\u2019s rules invoked fear of an unfair process, leading Man City to seek a neutral\u00a0arbiter.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u2019s club competitions are prestigious and financially rewarding thus, very competitive. Assembling the best footballers does not guarantee success, but it increases a club\u2019s chances. Therefore it is no surprise that clubs have repeatedly violated the\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">FFP<\/span>\u00a0regulations.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases,\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u00a0signs settlement agreements \u2013 an agreement which forces clubs who are in breach of\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">FFP<\/span>\u00a0to adhere to stipulated guidelines \u2013 however, more stringent sanctions have been issued in the past. Panathinaikos, Trabzonspor and Rubin Kazan were recently excluded from future\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u00a0competitions for failing to comply with settlement\u00a0agreements.<\/p>\n<p>When Rubin Kazan, a relatively smaller club, appealed the decision,\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CAS<\/span>\u00a0upheld\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">UEFA<\/span>\u2019s ban. Higher profile cases saw Paris Saint-Germain acquitted of wrong-doing by the Investigatory Chamber, while\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">AC<\/span>\u00a0Milan served a one-year suspension (reduced from a two-season ban) after\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">CAS<\/span>\u00a0partially upheld the Adjudicatory Chamber\u2019s\u00a0decision.<\/p>\n<h2>Man City\u2019s\u00a0finances<\/h2>\n<p>The introduction of\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">FFP<\/span>\u00a0forced clubs to find ways of increasing their revenue from matchday and sponsorship (clubs are unable to influence broadcast revenue significantly). With the potential repercussions of ticket price increases in the mind of owners, clubs embarked on an aggressive marketing campaign to exploit their budding\u00a0brands.<\/p>\n<p>Puma,\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">SAP<\/span>, MarathonBet, Unilever, Gatorade,\u00a0<span class=\"caps\">PZ<\/span>\u00a0Cussons, Intel, Etihad, Etisalat, First Abu Dhabi Bank, to name a just a few, are Man City\u2019s sponsorship partners.

In all fairness, Sheikh Mansour\u2019s first full year in charge of the club was also 2009. Dr Al Fahim, who was a spokesperson for the Sheikh Mansour led takeover promised that the Abu Dhabi politician would transform and make the club the biggest in England, achieving this by implementing audacious marketing plans including signing star\u00a0players.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.henley.ac.uk\/defaultUploads\/Graphic-2.png?mtime=20200722155602\" alt=\"Graphic-2.png?mtime=20200722155602#asset:138976\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.henley.ac.uk\/defaultUploads\/Caption-2.png?mtime=20200722155832\" alt=\"Caption-2.png?mtime=20200722155832#asset:138979\" \/><\/p>\n<p>True to Dr Fahim\u2019s words, Man City have parted with \u00a31.61bn and \u00a32.2bn in transfer fees and wages to acquire some of the world\u2019s best football talents and have thirteen domestic trophies in twelve years as return on investment.
