Great interview on Telegraph the UEFA president conceded, Alexander Ceferinwho referred to the punishment imposed by the European federation on Manchester City, but refused to comment on the Premier League’s investigation against the “citizens” for non-compliance with Financial Fair Play.
In February 2020, we remind you, UEFA had imposed sanctions on City for violations of Financial Fair Play, which were two-year ban from Europe and a fine of 30 million euros! City appealed to CAS and in July of that year the verdict came out, which was the lifting of the European ban and a fine of 10 million. The surprising thing is that this exemption was made because the CAS considered UEFA’s accusations as unfounded. Not because they didn’t happen, not because they aren’t proven, but quite simply because they had expired!
The president of UEFA, in his interview with the major English Media, emphasized about that history, which was characterized “fiasco”: “I do not wish to speak of this particular case in England, but I am sure that the decision of our independent body at the time was correct. We know we did well. We wouldn’t have acted like this if we didn’t think we were right».
On Everton’s punishment and while Nottingham Forest are also under threat, Ceferin commented: “Of course I can understand the fans’ frustration. They want to know what’s going on and what the consequences are, but I don’t want to get into that particular process because I don’t know how the Premier League handles it».
Among other things, he also commented on the transfer of players to the Saudi Arabian leaguebut also Henderson’s remark, that he did not go there for the money, but to help the country’s football: “They leave because the contracts offered to them are big. And I don’t blame them for that. If they are near the end of their career, it may be a new adventure, in which they will make a lot of money. But beyond that, saying you’re going to the country to help is less than funny. I am not worried at all, because European football has very strong roots. This is part of our culture, our history. You can’t buy this. Can not».
