By:
Are they thrown out of this years?
|
By:

|
By:
Why NOT thrown out now? To me that doesn't stack up if they are staying in this seasons
|
By:
ha ha
|
By:
not sure why, tbh. Maybe because it affects other teams??
|
By:
I mean if Real Madrid got a bye for example, would that be considered as unfair to the other teams still in this year's comp??

I would have expected the team that finished 3rd in Man City's group come in to the last 16 and Man City expelled

Maybe, I don't know. Just suggesting some possible issues. Possibility of an appeal, as well???

Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by today’s announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber. The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position.
In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver. The Club has formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling. Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity. |

Shaktar Donetsk would be my guess finishing 3rd in Citys group.

By:
the mover argued that they hadnt breached the FFP rules when a blind man could see that they had
It was the German newspaper who first exposed their lies they should be striped of all the trophies they have won just like drug cheats Fraudiola will leave De Bruyne wont wait 2 years |
By:
This gives Pep a great excuse for not winning the Champions league during his tenure as only a fool would back City to win it this year as it just aint happening
|
By:
they laundered money through the club like a drugs cartel
|
By:
Why are people talking about this season ?
Ruling clearly states starts 2020/21 |
By:
Why are people talking about this season ?
Because some one asked why it doesn't start this season, and suggested that it should. Just discussing it that's all. |
By:
more it should be this year as well
I think what peeed UEFA off was the lies that were subsequently exposed would have got a lesser ban if they had come clean Biggest sponsorship deal from a company connected to the owner for a club with little international appeal who cant fill their stadium for most games. What was the size of the bid from the company that came second ![]() ![]() ![]() |
By:
should be immediate effect imo.
|
By:
This could be the ultimate motivational incentive for Pep to drive his team to Champions League glory.
Then again, it could prove to be the starting gun on a mass exodus from the Etihad Stadium ![]() |
By:
Can’t be immediate, the appeal process has to run its course.
|
By:
if they win it will be tainted

By:
wouldnt shock if reduced to one seaaon on appeal
|
By:
As with any judicial process which permits an appeal process in a non-criminal matter - the absence of which almost certainly rendering the process invalid anyway - I strongly suspect that the decision cannot be implemented whilst an appeal is outstanding.

as the only qualified barrister on the forum i say,fewk city

They probably have known this was coming for a long time. Maybe partly explains lacklustre form at times this season.
