UEFA President Platini and General Secretary Gianni Infantino had repeatedly insisted in interviews that clubs found in violation of the FFP rules could expect harsh penalties. The most severe punishment: suspension from the Champions League. Given the strident rhetoric, the football world was shocked when UEFA reached settlement agreements with both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in mid-May 2014.

During the FFP proceedings, Infantino met with club bosses from Paris and Manchester on several occasions for secret talks, even supplying them with confidential materials. He proposed compromises that he was unauthorized to propose. In short: He betrayed his own organization.

The Investigative Chamber required Paris Saint-Germain to open its books to the body for the first time in July 2013. One year earlier, the state-owned Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) had signed an "Agreement for the Promotion of the Image of Qatar" with the team, which was to run for five years and generate revenues averaging 215 million euros per year for the club.It was a ludicrous amount of money, far more than the market would bear and inconsistent with anything that might smack of economic logic for the Qatari company. By comparison, FC Bayern Munich's main sponsor at the time, Deutsche Telekom, paid the team an annual sum of 29 million euros. It looked, in other words, as though the marketing contract was merely a façade, meant to allow the Qataris to pump as much money into the club as possible.
The agreement with the Qatar Tourism Authority consisted of a mere five pages and obligated Paris Saint-Germain to advertise for Qatar and "participate annually, at the request of Qatar, in its promotion activities." Otherwise, the team had to do nothing for QTA: It didn't have to put the company's logos on its jerseys, it didn't have to put up advertising in its stadium, it didn't even have to put a link on the club home page. The real reason for the excessive payments was a different one - which is also spelled out in the five-page agreement: Money from the Qatar Tourism Authority was to be used to buy players. By doing so, Paris Saint-Germain was to help Qatar become "a major player in the sporting world."
In response to a query about the deal, PSG stated that it was not a sponsoring deal, but that it was a "nation branding" agreement -- marketing for the entire country of Qatar. "Nation branding is of another scale compared to traditional sponsoring contracts," club executives wrote.
of course PSG was even worse

Nothing will happen. Theyll say something about punishing the current teams only harms the people that had nothing to do with it. Which is one of the lamest excuses ever in life.

On a scale of Blackpool to Leeds this is like a Blackburn Rovers.

This is one of those scandals that is so obvious that it isn’t even a scandal. Everyone knew that Man City and PSG were in violation of FFP. Johnny Baby gave them very soft fines but the only thing that’s really new in the leaks is how little they were officially fined. Now teams know they can spend 30 million in lawyers, act hard and get a 20 million euro fine.
The losers in this are Turkish and Russian teams that actually followed the rules or got close to it. The main difference is that in order to get by with a 20 million euro fine and a 30 million euro legal bill , you have to spend 250-300 million Euros on your team. 45-50 million is not enough. It’s the epitome of too big to fail in sports. Man City and PSG are Goldman, Citi, and Morgan Stanley.
Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, CSKA, and Zenit are like the small banks and hedge funds that had a guy go to jail or get banned for life from the securities industry. No one hit the middle spot to be Lehman or Bear Sterns. That would have made things interesting.
I doubt the level of outrage in this article moves the needle very far. The Arabs are certainly brazen though.

Uh oh.
United reportedly paid Monaco €4 mil for a ‘fake’ friendly that never happened to circumvent money for the Falcao loan deal.
