This makes things kinda interesting...Manchester City are now facing a Premier League points deduction, as their punishment for “serious breaches” of Uefa Financial Fair Play also represents a breach of the domestic competition’s regulations.
The defending English champions were on Friday night given the unprecedented sanction of a two-year ban from the Champions League and €30m fine, after Uefa’s Adjudicatory Chamber found the club had overstated its sponsorship revenue in accounts submitted to the European governing body between 2012 and 2016.
High-level sources say that will force the Premier League to act due to their own licensing, which pertains to Uefa’s Financial Fair Play regulations.
The issue comes because any club has to supply true information to get a Premier League licence, and that information will have had to have matched tthe information supplied to Uefa.
Points deduction as well. maybe.
LOL
That's a load of crap if I'm being honest.Cant believe people are getting excited about a potential euro spot.
1. There are too many variables yet to play out- mainly appeals and backhanders (more significantlythe latter) - so it will very likely not happen.
2. If we dont earn entry by right there is no honour in competing in the competition. We're not the rs ffs claiming to he champions of europe without actually being champions.
3. Unless its a knockout competition from the start euro competitions are drawn out and tediously boring.
4. Euro competitions are over hyped and detract from domestic competition- which to me given it's longstanding history is far more important and carries more gravitas.
Don't put yourselves through it. Euro nights should be an interesting diversion from the league, not a goal.
This makes things kinda interesting...
I'd assumed City would appeal, and the ban would be delayed by a year while the appeal went through.... But City would 100% want any PL point deduction to take effect this season (because what's the difference between losing the league by 20pts and losing it by 30pts... whereas an appeal would potentially delay that too.

This ^How long could the process take?
Months rather than weeks.
This is a complex case and it is thought that the adjudicatory chamber could take its time to consider Leterme's recommendation. An oral hearing may also be called.
As an example, more than a month ago the investigatory chamber referred AC Milan to the adjudicatory chamber for failing to comply with the break-even rules for the period 2015-2018. We are yet to hear the outcome.
City could also then appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
It is therefore highly unlikely any ban would apply to next season's Champions League.
There you have it.
Is no one worried our naming rights deal with Megafon will get called into question ?
Not really.
City are being accused of false accounting basically.
All our deals have a fair market value, they cant get us and we arent even being investigated, yet.
£30 million to be at the front of the queue to sponsor our stadium? We got money for nothing right ?
