Man City in Danger of Champions League Ban After New Leaked Emails Allege FFP Misdeeds

Manchester City could be banned from participating in the Champions League next season, if UEFA decides to take action over new leaked emails which appear to demonstrate the club flouting the governing body's Financial Fair Play rules.

The club are already under investigation following the leak of damning emails last November, which appeared to show how the club acquired funding to supplement sponsorship money from Abu Dhabi United Group - an investment fund owned by Sheik Mansour. UEFA has a limit over how much money an owner can invest into a club, and this looks to have been breached.
