Uefa have been urged by Manchester City not to penalise wealthy benefactors under their financial fair play (FFP) rules. The meeting with Uefa president Michel Platini was also attended by Paris Saint Germain who, along with City, have received the heaviest penalties so far under the FFP rules.

Apparently there was a ‘full and frank discussion’ which is code for a big row. Uefa were urged to consider the big debts run up by teams like Manchester United and Real Madrid. At present only the interest on such debts is taken into account. Attention was also drawn to the loophole which allows clubs like Liverpool not to submit accounts because they were not involved in a European competition in the preceding year.
