Porto excluded from Champions League

[MindGuerrillas]

SSN are reporting that Porto have been banned from next season's CL for bribing referees in the 2003-4 season, the year they won it.

If this is the case surely they should have the title stripped from them and award it to Monaco instead. Mourinho should be handing his medal back too

And we would get a direct entry in the group stages based on our co-efficient ?

How great would that be?! Mourinho's only Champions League win coming after bribing referees throughout the competition. Should help wipe the smug grin off his face a little bit.

I never thought of that but that would be a very likely outcome

Bloody hell, they should have their title stripped from them.

Would love to see Mourinho's smug face if he was stripped of his title

This is a nice stick for Maureen to be beaten with at the very least. A title not won fairly, but bought & paid for, hmmm, sounds familiar.

Can't believe this.

Would be hilarious if they were stripped of their title purely to upset Maureen.

Surely it must be a possibility given the allegations.

Guess he's just doing waht he does best, buy titles! He should really have worked for Blair's government (Allegedly)

Cheating cunts.

Have to say...I was there when Porto dumped United out and IIRC United had a perfectly good goal disallowed.

Picture the scene - the official's changing room fifteen minutes before kick off.

Perhaps, or their sport goes to the next team in portugal instead.

They just mentioned that it would actually be the next placed Portuguese team that would take the automatic place. Basically all of their teams will move up one place meaning that Benfica will now take the last qualifying place.

beat me to it!

The Portugal FA already made their decision on this last month. They got off lightly, i think just 2 guys were banned from football. Porto were not stripped of their titles and not even deducted points.

They should have been demoted
