City charges.......

[Peter]

I doubt it. Abu Dhabi has around 10% of the world's oil reserves iirc.

I know, but it is wrong to think that these people don't care about money. They do. I agree that fines in the millions is the equivalent of fining me a fiver but if you start fining them in the tens of billions, they will sod off elsewhere.

You could use some of the money to settle the inevitable claims of the sides who missed out on champions league qualification or got relegated because of City.

I think the only possible solution here is to find them not guilty. I suspect that is where this will end......
