Heavy fines for Premier league clubs

From today UEFA will be 'rich' for a total of 115.000 euros from just two Premier league teams. Liverpool and Manchester United have met in the Europa league last 16 match and its supporters were 'guilty' of various charges. As always clubs are those who have to pay the price and both teams are being punished for 40.000 euros each with half of the sum being suspended for probational time of two years. Because Manchester United's hooligans were blocking stairways, throwing objects onto the pitch and causing disturbances in the stands they are costing the club additional 18.000 euros while their rival counterparts are accused of fighting, setting fireworks, throwing objects and a late start which their team has to pay 17.000 euros more. 
Moreover, Liverpool has to contact its opponent Manchester United within 1 month in order to agree for damages caused by their fans at Old Trafford. So it is more likely that the club will be exposed to more expenses.
