Man City boss Pellegrini slams confusing FFP laws

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has hit out at UEFA's financial fair play laws.

City were fined £49million and restricted to spending no more than that in this summer's transfer window after UEFA found them to be in breach of the regulations, which impose an upper limit on clubs' monetary losses. Their European squad was also cut to 21 players instead of the standard 25.

Pellegrini told national newspapers: "I really do not understand what Financial Fair Play is. For me it is impossible.

"This is a club that does not have a pound of debt to anyone. I understand that if you have a big debt you don't pay, you have to be punished, but I do not understand exactly what is Financial Fair Play."
