After UEFA's attempt to ban Manchester City from European football was overturned by sport's highest court on Monday, the continental governing body's Financial Fair Play (FFP) system, under which they were charged, faces likely changes. FFP regulations aim to stop clubs running big losses through spending on players but, after 11 years, UEFA was already examining possible changes before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) backed City's appeal against a two-year ban. UEFA accused City of "serious breaches" of its FFP rules in information submitted to the governing body between 2012 and 2016 and banned the club from European competition for two years. But CAS ruled that those allegations were either "unproven" or "time barred", as UEFA's own rules placed a five-year statute of limitations on prosecutions. Some of the cases may also have been covered under a "settlement agreement" UEFA and City entered into after a previous probe ended in 2014.
