Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes it was unfair that Manchester City were not hit with a points deduction for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
City were hit with a £49million fine last year for failing to come into line with FFP guidelines, which came into effect in the 2011-12 season.
Mourinho, though, thinks docking points would be a more effective deterrent than hitting clubs in the pocket.
When Manchester City pays off 50 millions of fine because they exceeded the FFP, I think it s unfair. FFP should be fulfilled and that s it, Mourinho told the Daily Mail.
[Violators] should be punished with loss of points. Our owner [Roman Abramovich] wants to fulfil FFP. He doesn t want to enter these dynamics of paying the fine.
FFP ben…

Liverpool could be set to move for Paris Saint Germain forward Julian Draxler should Philippe Coutinho be sold to Barcelona.
Coutinho continues to be linked with a move to the Nou Camp despite the Reds holding firm during the close season by rejecting a number of big money offers for the Brazilian.

Draxler would fit the bill and could be a viable option as he has not been a regular starter since signing for PSG from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2016.
