That would be a one year transfer limit not a two year one.
The second year is suspended if we get ourselves back within their revised regulations when we publish our figures. I'm pretty sure this was mentioned in the announcements somewhere. Where's Socrates when we need him?
Not seen that myself, but there is obviously more detail than I have seen.
What I read at the time said a €60 mil fine but 40million euros of the fine was suspended & would not be imposed if we reached break even. Plus the squad limit for one season and also a two year salary cap & transfer limit.
The bit in the actual UEFA document says this:
Manchester City agrees to significantly limit spending in the transfer market for seasons 2014/2015 and 2015/2016.
Manchester City further accepts a calculated limitation on the number of new registrations it may include within their “A” List
for the purposes of participation in UEFA competitions.
This calculation is based on the clubs net transfer position in each respective registration period covered by this agreement.
So there are details missing from that but clearly, the net transfer spend is significant in some kind of calculations.
