Fantastic news.

Skeptical about 5th being CL spot though. City will definitely appeal and might end up beind allowd to play next season until its done or some other BS like that.
We are 8th aren't we?

Hahaha! Surely UEFA have the right to disqualify anybody from their own competitions without risk of appeal?

The fine might not stick though.

They have flattered to deceive in the champions league since the billionaire owners arrived. Pep looks like a man that wants out since last October..

Hahahahahahahaha

Finally, football wakes up to financial doping and shows them cheating does not pay.

They should also be stripped of all their PL titles etc since they became plastic

You know what will happen. They will win it this season, appeal the ban, get a smaller fine and play again next season.

So will they appeal and get this delayed and ultimately negotiate some higher fine and no ban? Probably.

If the ban stays, I don’t think most of their players will want to stay. This decision has ramifications on their ability to compete for the next 2 years.
You'd be surprised how much money talked. They signed Yaya Toure, David Silva and Aguero when not having CL.

Surely you would fancy your chances as well? There's a number of clubs who could benefit from this.
Spurs are better than us now. If Eriksen had stuck with his attitude I reckon we might have had a chance.

Also surely 5th up for Champions League now? What a joke if we can’t make that this season. Given so many opportunities. Sack Ole and get a decent manager in.

They did nothing wrong though apparently. Yeah right.

They should have their titles stripped now. Other pl clubs were having to stay within the rules in the same period and they didn't. That gave them an advantage in the league.

fecking berties are cheating twats. Hahahaha

City will go to CAS and then probably drag this out in other ways. So probably won't come into effect for a couple of seasons.
Yeah that's what i'm thinking. They'll find some way to delay it or get it reduced.

I cant see CAS overturning this.

Its as simple as case as you could get. City broke the rules. They have no comeback.

Wow. Pep might just feck off. Never thought they would have the balls to actually ban them.

More chance of the Titanic sailing down the ship canal tomorrow afternoon than this sticking. I expect a hefty fine and nasty telling off upon appeal.

CIty wont win the CL this year. That's a club with no spirit. Pep and the star names will just cry about it for the next 4 months.
