Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho suggested
Manchester City should not be allowed to be
league champions because they broke Financial
Fair Play regulations.
.
City won the Premier League title last season but
were then fined in May for breaching Uefa’s financial
rules.
.
The Premier League has its own form of financial
regulation.
.
But Mourinho said: “I don’t think a team can be
champions when you are punished because you
didn’t comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP).”
.
City were fined £49m – £32m of which was suspended – and had spending restrictions imposed on them as part of their punishment for breaching FFP regulations.
.
They were also told their wage bill for the 2014-15
campaign must not exceed last season’s total.
.
Yet City still spent £28m on Swansea striker Wilfried
Bony in January, the single biggest outlay by an
English club in the winter transfer window.
