Can it go into effect next season?
Slap them with a nice big 100 points deduction

Fine. I'll beat you with a sledgehammer while you're busy putting your boxing gloves on, but you won't protest at my victory because you don't want to dilute the competition.
I mean that doesnt mean anything. Less prize money for finishing a few spots lower probably, but no impact on title race while top 4 race doesnt matter as 5th will get in anyway. Their league campaign is entirely pointless now.
Somewhat ironic coming from a Chelsea fan
Already have, for not backing them up. Don't ask me how they'd want us to back them up, your guess is as good as mine.
We also finished 2nd with Mou. 2 titles for United, 2 for Liverpool. Of course that would never happen, but itd be 2 each.
Good job they're banned from the Europa too for our sake
Such a shame.
Unfortunately as although it allows City to be significantly weakened, it will further strengthen Liverpool's chances of potential domination making it more likely they'll surpass our title record with a few seasons.
No doubt their fans and allies in the media are cheering this the most. We could benefit too if 5th was awarded a CL place but I suspect we'd somehow even screw that up.

the period is 2012-2016, so just one each.
I'd back them right up over Beachy Head
It isn't up to UEFA whether this gets reduced to one year or not, like a few of you seem to believe. In the past Porto has been banned from European competitions and CAS completely overturned it, albeit for different reasons at the time. And it's their word that prevails.
What CAS will decide only they know.

They are only a top team because they cheated. Imagine Pablo Escobar our billions of cocaine money into West Brom back in the day then started crying that he was being treated ‘unfairly’ because they are the ‘best team’.
Ahahahahahahahaha. Bloody cheats deserved it.
But it wont stick.

Woohoo!
Sure to be overturned to a 50p fine though.

I would imagine they would use the fact that city have form and were punished previously to the tune of €49m for breaking FFP rules and now not only have they broken them but they have actually tried to game the system and did not engage at all with UEFA.
Can UEFA actually arbitrarily decide in the future that they will not offer a club a participation contract? in fairness, it is UEFA's competition so they probably could.
Not gonna get my hopes up on this one until I see them missing in the actual draw for group stages next season.
I would love this, even though it wouldn’t go through, just to wind them up
Ha.

Hectic. This would only make a difference if it applied to next season though. This season is a write-off for them anyway, and since they can't make Europe now it doesn't matter how many points they get docked.
They spent a lot of money. Just like every other top club in Europe's best league's. I'm not so sure how that is cheating.
So they should be allowed to cheat?
On the phone to Raiola sorting out his move to Juventus this summer.

League Two for the lads in blue.
I can see that. Which is why I, and others, have explained it to you.

Now I regret getting myself banned from the bluemoon thread.
Who is Fabrizio?
To think of all the ass kissing the media were giving City for the last few seasons.
?? Dude they premeditatedly planned and lied about their income and break even figures in order to break every rule of FFP.
They wouldn’t exist in the Champions League without cheating their way to this position.
I’m glad they are tainted as cheats.
It’s one thing breaking a rule but the way they have brazenly cooked the books with no regard whatsoever - they deserve more than two years if you ask me.
What they have done is akin to a athlete taking steroids, I would be feckin disgusted if it were the club I support.
Pretty sure he's joking, at least i hope he is. Only thing we will miss is watching them bottle it again from a comfortable winning position.
When is this ban supposed to start ? Next season ?
I enjoyed this paragraph:
"While no one sees an expulsion from the Premier League as likely, the Football League have recently changed their rules so that any club in that situation must start again in League Two."
Please, oh please let that happen.
Manchester City have managed to leave Europe before the United Kingdom
