LONDON -- Arsene Wenger will feel "let down" if UEFA does not take a strong stance against clubs found guilty of breaking Financial Fair Play rules. UEFA will announce the first sanctions this month and more serious cases will be judged in June. A UEFA panel has negotiated settlements with clubs which have breached rules designed to curb owners excessive spending on transfers and wages since 2011. "One of the rules is that normally you should be banned for the excess of the financial amount that is not justified, that is if you are 100 million pounds ($169 million) overboard, you should be punished for 100 million of your wages bill in the Champions League," the Arsenal manager said during a pre-match news conference on Friday. UEFA said in February it targeted 76 clubs which played in the Champions League or Europa League. Speculation centred on big spenders Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, which are owned by the ruling families of Qatar and Abu Dhabi, respectively. Wenger said its in UEFAs interest to send a strong message when the first sanctions are issued in order to convince clubs to take its scheme seriously. "I want to see that respected. If that is not respected, then the Financial Fair Play will have problems to be respected in the future because everyone will just not consider it at all," Wenger said. UEFA appointed former Belgium Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene to lead the panel investigating club accounts. Serious sanctions will be decided by a panel led by Jose Cunha Rodrigues of Portugal, a judge at the European Court of Justice. Expulsion from the Champions League and second-tier Europa League are the toughest penalty UEFA reserves but its president, Michel Platini, said last week in an interview with a French newspaper that clubs wont be excluded from next seasons Champions League. Wenger believes Platinis announcement could be linked to TV rights sales. "That has gone now out. I have thought about that problem and the media might play a part in that, because when UEFA sells the rights of the Champions League to a French TV station, it is very difficult to explain to them once they have paid the money that the best club in their country will not play in the competition, so that might be one of the reasons behind that," the French coach said.

Coming off a 99-94 victory over the Kings Sunday in Vancouver to open an eight-game exhibition slate, the Raptors want to hit their stride early while shaking off a little rust before the regular season. Terrence Ross (knee) and Patrick Patterson (hand) will both be held out of tonights game as a precaution. Neither injury is believed to be serious. We still have a lot of work to do on the defensive end, head coach Dwane Casey said after Sundays win. Whether we win, lose or draw is not important in these types of games, but what is very important is our defensive approach and I thought we didnt do it. On the offensive side of the ball, the Raptors opened the preseason with a collaborative effort as all-star DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points inn 21 minutes, third-year centre Jonas Valanciunas and newcomer Lou Williams added 12 each and Ross and Tyler Hansbrough chipped in 11 points apiece as well.dddddddddddd Hansbrough even shocked the crowd with a corner three-pointer, affectionaly known in Raptors land as the summer three, in the fourth quarter. Im definitely not a three-point shooter, Hansbrough said. I worked with a shooting coach (Mike Hollis in North Carolina) all summer. It was almost like we changed a lot of what I was doing. A lot of it is just having confidence to be able to do it. And while Casey may be right about his teams defensive performance, theres no denying the Raptors are feeling confident well before the start of meaningful games. After a night in Sacramento, the Raptors come home to Toronto to face the Boston Celtics on Friday and will open the regular season on Oct. 29 against the Atlanta Hawks. ' ' '
