Manchester City are planning to sell an amazing TWENTY players to meet UEFA's financial fair play laws. The Sunday Telegraph says the club employs 63 professionals and are looking to get that down to the low 40s by next summer.

In the recently published financial results for the 2010-11 financial year, City's wage bill was £174 million which was £21 million higher than turnover.

City have some 23 players out on loan and realise that this is not a sustainable model if they are to work towards the Uefa regulations.

While some players have been sent out on loan in order to aid their development, others have been sent out in the hope that they can attract buyers.
