Man City Banned From Europe

[evertony]

Pep will end up at Juve and City will try to poach Carlo from Carlo from us.

Pep back to Barca, Kompany or Arteta to City

They'll just appeal and get a fine. UEFA rarely holds up their own punishments. Or they'll go to that independent court and it'll get quashed

I doubt itll be quashed but you have to question, why a 2 year ban? I'd say that it's so on Man City appealing itll be reduced to 1 year and UEFA able to save face and say 'we punished them!' It will be a strong deterrent to other clubs who might not comply with fairplay as it would be detrimental to any club to be out of European competition who depend on being in it regularly.

Why wouldn’t they appeal?
Drag it out long as possible, a possibility it might be reduced/ suspended. Makes no difference to us, we’ll finish where we finish.

They will appeal.

FFP feels like just a way to block other clubs getting into the elite.

To make it truly fair/competitive every club should be given identical funds.Maybe not workable though

 

[Archie Knox]

Should be removing all honours they've collected since they have been financial doping. They've just been proven to have broken the rules, why should they keep what they won while cheating?

 

[Wat Tyler]

They aint just gonna roll over.

They are questioning FFP itself and calling UEFA prejudiced towards them, cant see UEFA banning them with court as well as everything else being waved about.

Think this will fast-tracked through the courts.

Think it will be the opposite of fast tracking it, this will still be going on by the start of the season, I reckon.

I personally think the current rules are fine.

Football isnt a fair sport, it never has been.

Nobody complained when we were called The Mersey Millionaires or when we blew every team in Europe out the water in Moshiris first few years.

No chance either of them are ever going to city any time soon.

Kompany can’t hack the Belgian league, and Arteta has proved nothing as a manager. I think they’ll go for Poch

Well yes, despite the importance to UEFA, City and the Premier League, the courts and CAS have no interest in a speedy resolution.

Do we want last years title taking off them? Really?

I think City won’t mind it dragging out into next season because it means they can say to Pep and their top players, “we are guaranteed CL this season, and we think we will win our case.”

But the Premier League have a problem at the minute because they don’t know where the land lies and they seriously need clarification from Uefa, you cannot have a team coming 5th, thinking, planning, and spending for CL only to have the rug pulled from them by some Swiss court in July.

So The PL need to clarify what qualifies for what within the next few weeks and no later.

Yes they will be doing all they can to drag this out as long as possible. No way this is going to be sorted any time soon.

You would think city would want a speedy resolution.

Sponsors of city will want to know what is happening before signing up, city will also be weary of when it takes into effect and if they are gonna get a points reduction, they would surely want it applied for this season.

The Premier league will also want a speedy decision because it effects the fixture list for next season as well.

Yeah but CAS and the courts do not do things quickly, normally.
