Christian Müller, former CFO of the German Football League (DFL), is “stunned and totally disappointed” by the lifting of Manchester City’s European Cup ban by the CAS International Sports Court. Interviewed by ARD Radio Recherche Sport, Müller, co-developer of the Financial Fair Play (FFP) said: “It’s a disaster, the Waterloo for the sports rules. A fine of ten million euros is simply a laughing stock, which could have been spared.” On Monday, the
CAS lifted the two-year European Cup ban imposed by the European Football Union (UEFA) control body against the English champion dethroned by Liverpool FC and reduced the penalty payment from EUR 30 million to EUR 10 million.
