Cardiff City set for cash windfall?

Wed May 21, 2014 5:58 am

I heard on the Radio this morning that Man City's £50 million fine will be divided up between the Premier League clubs from the 13/14 season.

Not a great deal of money in the grand scheme of things (especially when you consider 66% of the fine was suspended) but a cash windfall for the Bluebirds none the less.

Story was on Talksport.

How is it fair ? How do you determine when a club buys a title as opposed to just winning in it with a squad of players ?

Of the £49m fine, £32m of it is suspended so it will only be £17m that will be redistributed...

Yes I agree, the cash should all go to the poorest clubs i.e. league two, not the money scoffing clubs of the PL :bluescarf: :old: :bluescarf:

Should definitely be given to the lower leagues but it won't cos the Premier League is all about self interest!

If championship clubs get fined for breaking FFP then the fines are given to charity and I expect the same to happen with Man City.
