So could we have a situation where City get banned and the Mancs or whoever finishes 5th sneak into the CL spots as a result?

I’d prefer they were docked points from last season & this season we’re aiming for number 20

[Fosterbloke]

That would be a very hollow victory. I'd prefer a two year CL ban from next season!

Pep would surely leave then?

Banned from Champions League for two seasons over FFP breaches

Report shows what we all thought. Their 'revenue' was all artificially generated. Essentially their owners paying to sponsor the club.

Nothing club.

No doubt this will go to appeal.

Should be worse and they'll probably appeal but nice to see.

Meanwhile over on Bluefume.

It's all a UEFA / Liverpool / VAR conspiracy

[Mark79]

Good. Now what are the FA going to do?

I make it that’s 2 titles we’ve been cheated out of.

Same case for Utd.

Surely on appeal they will at least get a one year ban?

They can say what they want about us, but, they are now the ones that are officially cheating ****s.

[spud_gun]

If Carlsberg did football seasons .

[McDermotX]

How many seasons ban ?

Yeah, I imagine we'll see it reduced to a one season on appeal.

I guess it depends how deep UEFAs pockets are and how far they're willing to go to uphold FFP.

Citeh owners have previously intimated that they'd sue the ever lasting **** out of UEFA were they found guilty of breaching FFP.

UEFA on the other hand do have history when it comes to handing out stiff penalties to European minnows who breach FFP.

A penny for Peps thoughts at the moment. The wee bald cunt.

[McDermotX]

FWIW......it'll probably be dropped by a year on appeal (at least), but even so, I fear it'll be dragged along so much that even if the ban holds, it won't start next season.

So as things stand, its the FA, UEFA, VAR, the LFC loving media (previously the City loving media, which they fail to recall) and Referees that are all conspiring against City... Have I missed anyone out?

They are a joke, and their fans are ridiculous. Why would FIFA have an axe to grind with them? What possible gain? I am sure it must be unpallateable for them, but the truth that is staring them in the face is that they are guilty. They have been caught, the numbers dont stack up.

There response is the same as Saracens in Rugby, absolutely no acknowledgement that the rules exist to make a level playing field. The job of a club and its accountants is not to find ways around this, but to adhere to the rules.
