I see Man Citeh have escaped a transfer ban for breaching FIFA rules on transfers & registration of players under age of 18. A measly £315k fine instead which will obviously dent their bank balance. Fucking joke - a 10 point deduction would've been far more severe.

Any explanation as to why they've escaped a transfer ban which is what Chelsea received for the exact same offense?Unbelievable when you think about it. This level of preferential treatment of moneyed clubs doesn't happen in any other sport.
I'm just repeating something I read a few days ago but I should've said Fifa punishments.Looking at the cases it seems Chelsea's breeches were far more serious than Man City.

They are anything but squeaky clean. A 10 point deduction would hurt them far more.

Given Man City are the only big club to have been investigated and not given a transfer ban I think it's fairly safe to say that this isn't 'big club bias' but rather than each case has been handled on merit and this one is towards the lower end.
Nicked one of our best youngsters too.The compensation is a joke, the authorities should also add a % of any future transfer to it.
