UEFA president remains opposed to goal-line technology
UEFA president Michel Platini has told clubs to be careful about what they spend under new rules and is concerned about what could happen to Manchester City if their owners leave the club.
Financial Fair Play rules are being introduced to make sure European football is played on a more level playing field and by 2013/14 clubs will be required to break even on their balance sheets.For the first couple of years a €45m (£36m) deficit will be considered an 'acceptable deviation' but clubs will then start getting punished for spending more than they earn.

Platini insists that money does not guarantee success, however, and has fired a warning about the future.
"We have to protect the clubs, because until they pay Manchester City will be happy but if they (the owners) leave Manchester City what is going to happen with this club?" Platini said in an interview with Fox Soccer America and broadcast on Sky Sports News.
Rules on suspensions

A plea from the international players' union, FIFPro, for these players to be allowed to play was rejected by UEFA, but Platini is prepared to review the rules in another three years.
He said: "Why not? I am totally open to having the best team to play in the final of the Champions League.
"It could be a discussion and could be matter of thinking."
