Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini believes UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules need reviewing.
The City boss suggests that his club was harshly punished when being limited to £49million in spending last summer after failing to comply with the FFP guidelines.
But Pellegrini suggests the fact that City are debt-free and have had major investments from owner Sheikh Mansour implies to him that the slight sanction was a little severe.
"I was at Malaga, a club in debt, so I understand that you have to avoid clubs having unsustainable budgets, accumulating unpaid debts," the Chilean told the Daily Mail and Guardian.
"But preventing you from investing, speculating, is absurd. It's anti-competitive. The intentions are good, but FFP needs serious revision."
