Wait for the City ground to suddenly be full to capacity every single game despite the ticket price having shot up to £300 a ticket, and City suddenly making £200mil a year from Stadium income. At the same time Qatar make a donation to a new Manchester Charity that funds tickets for fans who, can't afford them, can't work, or don't like Mondays.
Magically City can afford to run at a profit again.
You mean Abu Dhabi and they're going to do exactly what they're in the dock for now? That would be brave.
The challenges facing City, if this ban is upheld, won't just be limited to the £100m odd of legit revenue they stand to lose but how much (more) of the dodgy revenue will be wiped off the books? Everybody knows City massively inflated their commercial revenue with deals from Abu Dhabi owned companies but back in 2014 when City were initially charged, UEFA didn't just discount all revenue they received from these deals, they just reduced them to a 'fair market value'. I'm not sure exactly how much UEFA reduced these deals by but if we take the Etihad deal alone, according to the leaked emails, that deal was worth £65m per season. Did UEFA reduce this to £50m? £40m? I doubt they'd have reduced it by much more than this. The leaked emails that have resulted in this ban show that Etihad were only paying £8m per season, with the other £57m coming direct from Abu Dhabi. That's potentially another £40m hole in City's accounts. There's then the £25m odd they received from selling players image rights to a 3rd party, which leaked emails show were being funded by Abu Dhabi.
If UEFA/the PL now find against City on the basis of these leaked emails, they're surely going to remove another £60m-100m of revenue from City's accounts when they do their FFP calculations, on top of the £100m odd they're going to lose from being out of the CL.
