Man City FFP fine to be shared amongst Champions League rivals

Manchester City's huge financial fair play fine will go to other Champions League clubs.

City were fined £50million for the FFP breaches but will only have to pay around £20million if they comply with the break-even rules in future seasons, says the London Evening Standard.

The first tranche of payments from City, Paris St Germain and Zenit St Petersburg will total £20million and will be split among the Champions League and Europa League clubs who did comply with the rules last season.

A similar sum will be distributed to clubs who comply with the FFP rules in this season's European competitions.

European Clubs' Association chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said UEFA had agreed the fines should go to the other clubs.

He told a news conference in Geneva: "It was an agreement between UEFA and the clubs that it was money belonging to the clubs."
