Reaktioner: Det her er døden for Financial Fair Play
Manchester City fik i dag medhold i deres appelsag.
Dermed bliver den to-årige Champions League-karantæne ophævet, som de ellers havde fået tildelt af UEFA.
Manchester City var blevet tiltalt for brud på Financial Fair Play-reglerne, men fik bevist hos domstolen, CAS, at de ikke havde brudt nogle regler.
Alligevel mener mange – heriblandt journalister – at afgørelsen er en dødsdom for FFP:
FFP has passed away. RIP u will live on forever. Cant believe it. I wanna run to u. Really cant believe this. @

RIP FFP.

Clearly massive win for @ManCity. Justified Pep's confidence before and after Brighton game. For UEFA and FFP concept an equally huge setback.

FFP is done now, which is good news for the big spenders and bad news for stopping clubs from destroying themselves.
Also good news for #LFC in defence of the title next season as #MCFC will not concentrate solely on domestic football.

Hard to see how UEFA’s FFP rules can survive this. In fact, can UEFA survive the ramifications?

It's the end of FFP as we know it.
