Monetary fines to start with then escalation to possibly exclusion from UEFA tournaments.
One to weigh up that. Maybe worth risking a fine this time around?

Two point fine would have meant Conference league for us and them in the Europa this season if we had taken it. And that assumes we would have only got a two point fine. If we didn't sell anyone, we would have maybe had more.

And UEFA could just turn around and state no Europe the following season IF we breached their rules.

Ah so uefa wouldn’t necessarily fine us first but go to a ban. I was thinking if a fine is the punishment then pay it and it gives us time to get the salary ratio in line with their requirements.

Uefa has not banned Chelsea who I'm pretty sure we're over their spending rules because they don't accept the hotel or women's team sales. Yet.

Still under investigation isn't it?

And WV, they banned Juve* a couple of years ago. I've no idea if it will be a fine or a ban, but maybe, especially if they suspect we deliberately breached rules thinking we can pay off any fine, the punishment might be more severe.

*It was over a period of years when Juve were playing in Europe and lying to UEFA during that time for competitions, and they were only in the Conference that season anyway so it might not be that severe.

It seems very unlikely he'll join permanently now, which is disappointing, as I think that if he'd had chance to put in a full pre-season with Emery and his team commiting to him as our number 9, and building our attack around the pace and dynamism of him, Rogers, Malen, JJ etc. it really would have taken us to another level.

His loan spell was overall a success - I don't remember him dropping a truly poor game at any point. And amidst what were generally 7.5/10 performances, there were glimpses of the top level we could reach with him up front and his ability to totally change a game with world-class quality, which ultimately I think would have taken us to a higher ceiling than we can have with Watkins (as much as I love him).

Despite the expected idiots in the media when he first arrived, there were never any questions about his personality, commitment and professionalism, and I really think he'd have thrived under Unai, so I'm clinging to the 10% chance he might rock up in July. But sadly it seems unlikely - wish him the best.
