It’s hard to put an exact number on the value of being in CL, but it’s easily 10s of millions, more depending on how far you go. For the last 13 seasons, they’ve qualified for the CL, thereby pushing another team out. You’ve got to be looking at £500m in liability there.

That’s all with the massive caveat that a court has to find this sort of suit to actually be viable. It’s a difficult case to make, and I wouldn’t want to go up against City’s legal team.

Someone is gonna get a call from the PGMOL. You’re not allowed to ask that question.
