Standup9ja: Manchester City Banned For Two Years From
Signing Young Players
Manchester City have been found guilty of tapping two young
players and have been fined £300,000 and banned for two years from signing
academy players.
City cannot sign players between the age of 10 and 18
registered with Premier League or EFL clubs in the next year, with the second
year suspended.
“The Premier League has sanctioned Manchester City FC for
breaches of its Youth Development Rules,” the Premier League said in a
statement. “The breaches concern approaches to two separate Academy players
whilst they were each registered with another club.
“Following an investigation, the Premier League found
evidence that the club’s conduct prior to applying to register the players
contravened League rules. This included evidence of contact between the club
and members of each academy player’s family while those academy players were
still registered with their previous clubs.
“Manchester City will pay a fine of £300,000 and will be
prohibited from registering any academy players in the under-10 to under-18 age
range who have been registered with a Premier League or EFL club in the
preceding 18 months. This ban will last for two years. The period of this ban
from 30 June 2018 onwards will be suspended for three years to be activated in
the event of any similar breach by the club.
“In each case, the academy player was conditionally
registered with Manchester City while the Premier League’s investigation was
ongoing. As a result of the club’s breaches, the players’ registrations will be
terminated on a specified date, with no compensation rights retained by the
club, and the club will not be permitted to re-register them as academy
players. In addition, Manchester City has offered to pay compensation to each
player’s previous club, and maintain educational provision for each player
until the completion of his GCSEs.”
