    Brilliant news.

    Just need 5th now. Assuming the appeal will get it reduced to one year.

    How long do CAS appeals usually take to get heard?
    I have a feeling they will be allowed to partake in CL next year if they appeal

    Just now!

    Homerjay – I’m not sure the appeal process works in the same way as a transfer ban. I think the punishment is final? City aren’t even denying it, they’re just complaining that it was a leaked document that got them caught! Apparently they doctored their books and made up false income to the club.
    Wankers!

    Homer – almost certainly before the CL starts. CAS will bring it forward.

    Its the reason why they could not buy Maguire from you guys… They are fucked, its gonna take some effort to rebuild another side, not impossible but its a big setback… No player wanting to be at the very top will want to go there unless its clear they are in it for the money but on the other hand this frees City up to destroy the league next season. They will have not European football, Leicester and Chelsea won the title like that…

    HH – yes, 5th will be a CL place. Sadly Sheff Utd will get it.

    City made up sponsorship bonuses, back dated other deals (and paid them themselves), paid the manager via a sister club, sold the colour blue to sister clubs and basically stuck two fingers up to the rules. The list is endless.

    They are upset that someone from UEFA said what the punishment could be before the ruling. Basically they are upset a policeman could say murder is a life term, if arrested for murder.

    Best thing is that going forward they have to comply to the rules, so have to spend less.

    Chelsea went the diplomatic way and its already been established that City tried to cover it up, this is a case that was basically re-opened after the claims from Der Spiegel right?

    It does give them a free run for the Premier League title for the next two years, unless Liverpool can keep their form.

    I have no sympathy for City and they should be stripped of everything they’ve won under this corrupt ownership imo but it’s one of football’s great ironies that a club carrying massive ownership debt will always comply with FFP yet a club that is debt free will always struggle to comply!

    Let’s just see how it plays out. I won’t be surprised if they somehow get away with it. Be hilarious if they did a Saracens on them though 😂😂

    Annoyingly the PL FFP rules are much weaker than UEFA’s. That said I cannot believe they will allow this level of deceit to occur and go unpunished.

    At most they’ll miss one season on appeal, if anything. They’re lawyered up the wazoo and have known this was coming for a few years. They’re well prepared.

    Doubts we’ll be playing CL football either for 2 years.

    Yeah agreed. City banned from the CL for 2 years but still have more chance of winning it than we do!
