You didn't read it. It said 5 X the £14M they paid for him. It was quite clear.
Christ, I know it said that. I know what it meant. It's still an odd way phrasing it.

Because Alvarez wants more minutes, probably fancies living in Spain much more than Northern England too, and City are getting close to twice the real value of the player so it's a free fleecing opportunity.
He played more minutes than most at City last year. What he’s said is that he wants to play somewhere that he plays the biggest games. He didn’t get that at City and he’ll be one of the best forwards in World football elsewhere.
He’s class. I agree with that poster.He won't be that anywhere, not even close.

The absolute scenes if they’re thrown out midway through a season. Would be glorious.Seriously, if they get trophies taken off them and/or a deduction in points that leads to a relegation (ideally plural), I will take a day off to celebrate and follow social media and laugh
I’ve said before but an appropriate punishment would be exclusion from the premier league for 5+ years.About time, hopefully its not a whitewash. Wonder if this is why they aren't doing anything in the market this summer.
Likely a 50M fine, 15 points deduction and life will go on
And "unprecedented" pts deduction, that keeps them in the PL come May.“Unprecedented” fine incoming.
I hope you're right. I'm resigned to the fact that they won't get what they deserve, but I just hope they don't get away with another slap on the wrist.I seem to be in the minority, but I think they're going to get fecked. And to the point that City can afford the best lawyers, two things: one, the Premier League can too, but more importantly, two, City's lawyers seem to be particularly adept at dragging things out and it seems like they've finally run out of runway. It also seems like they failed in their efforts at having FFP thrown out due to competition law or whatever.
It'll be interesting, if nothing else.

Why wouldn't it?Approx 0.000000000000001% chance that happens
Why wouldn't it?
Surely the PL realizes that after coming down so hard on the likes of Everton, they will need to dish out a fair punishment here or the other clubs are going to be furious.
I personally think if they somehow get away with it, the genuinely big clubs in the league will start talking Super League again. "If they're not going to deal with City properly, we'll form our own league without them". The PL have faced this threat before, and they won't want to face it again.
No chance. They’ll get a fine at worst.

They wont, they have been charged with 115 offences some of which are extremely serious breaches so there is no way it'll just be a fine if they are found guilty.
