P3te Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Still stupid and proves the glass ceiling idea. Oh you can't spend as much as you want! (unless you pay us £50m!) They'll get harsher sanctions next time though, third time (IIRC) is expulsion. IMO they're pretty harsh sanctions as they are. A 60m fine and having 4 less players than everyone else in the CL is hardly ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 50m is a lot of money, just not a lot for the clubs that are being sanctioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 In some respects I'm all for it, but I can't help but think this is more about maintaining the status quo than anything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Still stupid and proves the glass ceiling idea. Oh you can't spend as much as you want! (unless you pay us £50m!) So they've bought they're way out of the champions league and now they have to buy their way back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggsy Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 They'll do everything they can to keep Micah Richards now as he's a homegrown player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 there's 2 categories under the UEFA training rules, 1 is nation the other is the club, i thought the normal rules are you have to name 8 trained in england and 4 trained at city and im sure its 3 years before their 21st birthday (so for example walcott and chamberlain are both classed as being arsenal trained players even though really they arent) i think clichy might actually be classed as trained in england because of how young he joined arsenal you can leave gaps, so for example city can name 13 players and 8 empty slots, they can then also play players under a certain age without registering them (im sure its 21) so there are ways round it, expect city to buy some shit hot 20 year olds and be able to play them in the CL without them taking up an allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpet Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Off the BBC site" "OptaJoe on Twitter: Manchester City have used 21 players in each of their last two Champions League campaigns." Although I don't imagine 8 of them are homegrown. That's the part I think will hurt city the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Does 'home grown' mean through their academy, or Engerlish? If it's the latter, then I expect them to cherry pick the best Engerlish talent around. *coughBarkleycough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Does 'home grown' mean through their academy, or Engerlish? If it's the latter, then I expect them to cherry pick the best Engerlish talent around. *coughBarkleycough* They need 4 that have been at City between the ages of 18 and 21 and 8 overall that have been trained by clubs between the ages of 18 and 21 by City or another club in England.

Mantis Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Doesn't necessarily have to mean Eng"er"lish, just come through the academy and been there for a certain number of years. At least that's the way it is on FM anyway. EDIT: Avfc96 got it right. Edited May 6, 2014 by Mantis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think Nastasic might count as home grown as I think Balotelli did when he was at the club, Clichy will as well. to go with Milner, Hart, Richards maybe a 1 year deal for Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Say they play a champions league knockout game next season with 2 players suspended and 3 injured which could easily happen...would that mean they could only name 5 on the bench or are they allowed to bring in youth players to plug the gap? I'd assume in the 21 they'll have to name 3 keepers otherwise if Joe Hart picks up an injury you're down to 1 then. I think these sanctions are good as it keeps the possibility remote of City winning the CL in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 players under the age of 21 (i think) dont have to be registered players trained in england for 3 years under the age of 21 are classed as home grown (so thats clichy) dont think natasic has been there long enough yet its a bit shit really, walcott and chamberlain are classed as coming through arsenal's youth set up by UEFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Cool....so they'll be relying on Lopes and Emyr Huws to be game turning substitutes in the CL knock outs next year. I read Boyata was going to sign a new deal even though he hardly plays for them, think he classes as homegrown, they'll recall Karim Kekik from Psv aswell.
