Q&A on Financial Fair Play and the mountain Manchester City have to climb
Uefa’s Financial Fair Play regulations won’t wipe out the tradition of benefactor involvement in football. They will merely lead to bans from European competition for clubs whose owners want to spend lots of their own money building up those clubs. Those who want to spend freely can do so, but be [...]

Games In Brief: Supercalifragilistic singing tips from Disney
