City’s ban plunges them into turmoil


ON Friday UEFA banned Manchester City from European competitions (the Champions League and the Europa League) for the next two seasons after finding them guilty of breaching financial fair play regulations. City immediately issued a statement to say that they were “disappointed but not surprised.” That sounds like an understatement to me. The club will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in a bid to have the decision overturned.

The outcome of that review will be more dramatic than anything VAR has produced this season.
