With their version of VAR being excellent and players actually respecting the referees, Rugby may have done it again.
Saracens, their version of Man City, have been fined £5 MILLION and deducted 35 POINTS!
They've won the league 7 times out of 10, 3 of the last 4 and have been ruled to have done so due to salary cap issues. Seems that Rugby try and keep costs down so that it doesn't inflate the market and lead to other teams struggling to compete. How football could learn.
It may be that there's a bigger agenda as -35 points seems almost certain to relegate them, so maybe there's something else going on, but on the face of it, how nice if football dealt with clubs that break FFP like this! |  |

The difference is in football the clubs run the premier league, but in rugby the RFU run the game, last week it was announced that Mike Riley who oversees the referees was meeting with premier league chairman to ask about how VAR should be used. Is it any wonder they do not apply the rules of the game or apply VAR the same as other Countries federations do? The big clubs need to have room for referees to make whatever decisions they feel like giving which seem to change depending what clubs the are officiating over. |  | | |

Minus 35 points would have seen Saracens relegated in zero of the last 5 seasons. I would suggest therefore that that figure has been landed upon deliberately not to do so
It’s basically a ‘can’t win the title for one season and a few quid’ punishment |  |

What was the punishment meted out to Bulgaria by UEFA following the vile racism endured by the England team? [Post edited 5 Nov 2019 14:53]

The fine for consistent racial abuse was less than Bentdner got for wearing Paddy Power pants. Both were issued by UEFA.
True story. | |

....and it's already been suspended.
Be interesting to see what, if anything, the final sanctions are.
I bet it's a smaller fine and a smaller points deduction, suspended on the basis that they don't do it again in the next 5 years or so. |  |

It will almost certainly act as a deterrent, whereas the Bulgaria sanction will not. | | | |
