Yep. Obviously it won’t happen but UEFA need to ban PSG and Manchester City from European competition for the following season. It’s the only reasonable punishment.
However as we saw with Milan, the ban would only end up getting overturned in court anyway. So even if UEFA do act on the breaches - the clubs can easily have the ban overturned.

Shit club. Shit sport.
Sounds like it was UEFA who fucked up. They were the ones who said that PSG had complied with FFP, and then took three months to decide to review their decision.
Id say that sounded deliberate and convenient all round.
There’s a surprise.
In other breaking news, Spurs are a shitcunt club with shitcunt fans.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the ‘fuck up’ was part of a ruse.
It looks shady, I agree.
I keep forgetting about this and how it’s currently not in place and will return next year.
I feel one of the reasons we see so many big money moves being rumoured this summer is a result of not having to work around it.
And so it begins with Newcastle. How long before we see them side by side, or even above, Manchester City in the dodgy income table…
At least we’ll still be top 4 in the dodgy income table.
After so many seasons of Chelsea and Man City spending billions on players, while struggling to fill their grounds, we can say that Financial Fair Play is an oxymoron.
Everton and Forest charged
Love the new FFP
Everton are a mid table club with average crowds of more than 40k and after spending a few 100m, are getting done by FFP.
Man City and Chelsea were mid table clubs with crowds of around 40k and after spending more than billion aren’t getting done by FFP.
It seems the brown envelopes from the dodgy owners of Chelsea and Man City have found their way to the right people.
Before money laundering clubs like Chelsea and Man City started buying trophies, Everton and Nottingham Forest were more successful and arguably better supported clubs.
So if FFP don’t want a reputation of unfair bias, perhaps they’d better do something about it.
There is a difference between City’s breaches (which involved creative accounting & misappropriation which puts the burden of proof on FA) and Everton’s breaches which was regularly tracked by both FA & the club.
Unlike teenagers on Twitter, We are all adults here and should know the difference.
Everton also cooperated and supplied what was asked, unlike City.
If you hold your hands up, admit your mistake and work with authorities, then it’s very reasonable to expect that your case will be dealt with a lot quicker than clubs which deny their mistakes and fight the authorities every step of the way. And that’s not even taking into account the amount of charges against each club, which will prolong proceedings even more.
It took the threat of an independent regulator for the PL to finally get their arse into gear regarding FFP, and it’s already having an effect.
If anything, what’s happening with Everton and Forest makes me more optimistic about what will happen to City and Chelsea.
