Is it a bit odd if it is both the same offence. City seem to get away with murder. Will have to do a little investigating on this

----------------------------------------------------------------------
City signed 2 players just before they turned 18 (and were already banned in 2017 for signing youth players)
Chelsea signed 29 (!) players of which the transfer violated the regulations. Maybe the same offence, but many more violations. 29 over 2
Surely you can understand that with each violation the punishment increases.
Should there not be a level of consistency?
----------------------------
You want the same punishment for 2 violations and for 29 violations?
A financial fine like this will certainly teach them a lesson.
The owners will be having sleepless nights about how they can afford to pay the fine and we may well see the cloud of administration handing over the blue side of Manchester after this devastating punishment.
so if you do it less you should get away with it.
Don't care, without our ban we probably wouldn't see James, Mount and CHO make the 1st team squad!
City's squad is more than capable of withstanding a couple of windows ban anyway!
Kismet baby!
Manchester City FC can confirm that it has today received a reprimand and a CHF 370,000 fine following the decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee concerning the international transfer of players under the age of 18, particularly in relation to their trial periods and participation in friendly games.
The Club accepts responsibility for the breaches which arose as a result of misinterpretation of the regulations in question. All of the breaches occurred before December 2016 when guidance on the interpretation of the provisions was issued, since which date Manchester City has been fully compliant.
The Club regards highly and shares FIFA’s determination to ensure the protection of minors in football and has cooperated fully with the investigation which has been transparent and evidenced based at all times.

We didn't get away with it, I'm sure if we had 29 cases like Chelsea we would be looking at a ban.

Three cheers for City, everyone.
It is what it is, as Brummie said City could take a couple of years off transfer-wise and still clean up. We are not currently competing with them directly anyway, even if we were signing players.
There’s some key differences between the two which is why the difference in punishment. I do think that yours might get reduced a bit by CAS though as I thought it was more than a little harsh to get the same punishment as Atletico...
Chelsea had 92 transfers investigated and were found guilty in 29 cases.
City had 8 transfers investigated and were found guilty in 2 cases.
The problem is that fining City that amount is much like confiscating the small change from a driver’s pocket.
Meaningless.

That is very true. The fact it was monetary rather rather than a ban does show it wasn’t as serious as others though.
Coincidentally FIFA have just announced the building of their new HQ in the Maldives

Surely there is something better than money though, given the amount of money in the game today? It just doesn't work as a deterrent, does it.
Yes, I’d say the transfer ban. I think if any of ours had happened after the guidance was issued, we’d have had that to (albeit probably only one window)
Just read an article stating that City's violations were in double figures, less than Chelsea but still double figures.
The Sheikh+Football leadership= Brown Envelopeville.
Chelsea had 92 transfers investigated and were found guilty in 29 cases.
