Man City banned from Champions League

[Ghfd]

Who finishes fifth, Sheffield United ffs

 

[Derby6]

Shame they can't get moved down a division.

So 3rd bottom stay up, wishful thinking.

 

[Villan]

They not

They aren't what they used to be.

 

[Scootsie]

Ah right, cheers mate. Big pressure on them this season then?

Aye, I wonder if Guardiola will move on if they don’t win it this season.

 

[Derby6]

Horrible plastic fans and a horrible club.

Just new to football mate?

ffp is a pisstake in its current form just set up to protect the big clubs.

Man City crashed the party. Surely PSG must be next.

 

[What A Waster]

This is a disgrace.

 

[socawarrior]

A moment please for all the glory-hunting supporters who must all find new clubs for 2 years

 

[EverBlue86]

City will appeal it

And likely win

FFP will be thrown out in a court of law - who's to decide what is financially fair or not?

 

[BucketBiff]

Aye, I wonder if Guardiola will move on if they don’t win it this season.

I think he’d be away at the end of this season regardless.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Aye, I wonder if Guardiola will move on if they don’t win it this season.

He's bound to, if the appeal fails

 

[Billy Batts]

PSG still in it? Obviously not banned them as they don't boo the Champions League theme.

 

[Villan]

ffp is a pisstake in its current form just set up to protect the big clubs.

Yep. Nothing quite as dumb as financial penalties for breaching rules about buying success. Everyone can see it was put in place to keep status quo.

 

[RichD]

But Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG haven’t had bans? Mmm

This...

 

[TheBalkan]

CAS would do well to hear this case by the end of the summer. Particularly in an Olympic year there's usually a back-log.

My guess is City end up playing the CL 2020-21 regardless of the decision as the appeal won't be exhausted.

 

[Rizla]

But Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG haven’t had bans? Mmm

This is the issue for me... these clubs have received all sorts of questionable funding over the past 10 years. Uefa have definitely targeted City here.

Manchester City banned from Europe

Manchester City are banned from European club competitions for two seasons by Uefa.

‘Disappointed but not surprised...’

 

[Villan]

So 3rd bottom stay up, wishful thinking.

I'm taking whatever I can get at this point

 

[Mowgli]

Disgrace. Hate FFP me, not allowed to compete with the big boys eh.

They will appeal and inevitably win, not sure how UEFA can allow some teams to spend more than others.
