Don't get excited about this. The ban will be overturned or reduced to one year.
Of course... and they’ll inevitably bounce back, ‘cos they’ve got bottomless cash and have admittedly already won enough to have somewhat established their brand by now, in fairness... Not enough to weather a sustained period of wilderness, like us or Pool or Arse (though they won’t need to) but maybe just enough to lose Pep, plus a few potential marquee signings that could’ve bolstered them, but will now be forever skeptical, not to mention a lot more amenable to pitches from the kind of solid, romantic legacy clubs that just might need them more!
And even if NONE of that transpires at all ... feck it! We’ll never let them live it down...and nothing they ever achieve will be taken as legit, without a cavalcade of the kind of endlessly gleeful dismissive cynicism they all pretend they don’t care about, be we all know absolutely eats them alive every waking minute!
Mwa ha.... Mwa ha ha ha haha!!
(Or, whatever, at least we get to laugh at them tonight... I’ll take it this season... at least before they win it as an ironic parting shot!)
