I believe it will the 5th placed team. According to this article, anyway, where this was discussed in May.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

City will challenge it. UEFA probably hoping that by giving a two year ban, even if it gets downgraded by the courts, it'll end a season long ban.
But now they're surely destined to win it this season
I honestly thought the "UEFA has it in for us" story was only coming from tinfoil hat wearing Bluemoon mentals. I didn't realise it was the official club line
They’ll finish 4th!
Wow. Came out of the blue.
AC Milan accepted UEFA s decision and didn't appeal. City will lodge an appeal at CAS
It won't. Maybe a reduction but it'll still be a ban of some sort. It's been going on for ages
After what happened to Saracens in RU, there's no way the Court of Arbitration will let them off the hook
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. WOOOOOO!
Actually more depressed that 5th could be a CL spot and we are unable to capitalise.
I will put my celebrations on hold until the decision after their apeal has been made. If the decision by then is final then yeah, that's some good news. Feck them.
Is 5th a CL spot then?
I honestly see no other scenario. Must be that way.
I give it a month before this is overturned and some UEFA execs get shiny new Ferraris.
I really hope this sticks. I don't think it will, but I hope
Better than any dropped points this season, since everyone knows the league was over pretty early
good one!
I hope we as a club capitalise on this.
Well it's all happening on here; Liverpool fans ousted from the forum, City in European exile, me promoted.What wonderful comfort this week has been during our dismal season so far
However, <5% of me holds out hope of this sticking. But if it does, my goodness, what happens with Guardiola, their key players, their immediate future?!
What about 5th place in the league!? ...Actually don't, we'd somehow contrive to mess even that up. Sods law has it Mourinho's Tottenham nick that.
Ighalo save us
UEFA say they overstated their sponsorship revenue in their accounts between 2012 and 2016.
Failed to cooperate with investigation
Get out of that you bitter cnuts

It’s a good wind up from EUFA or whoever is in charge but they’ll appeal it and ultimately nothing will happen.
Sancho ain't going there
Yep, serves them right for cheating.
Who's doing a Poznan now?
Especially funny given they’re being banned for trying to cheat their way to Champs League win and never even made it to a final.
Poz banWho's doing a Poznan now?
One club down, one to goSancho ain't going there
Too right. This is vitally important now. Chelsea and Arsenal struggling, Spurs possibly returning to mediocrity, City not as tantalising a prospect....so important we make the right moves if all this holds.
Wow, could you imagine. There's already talk of Wilder deserving MOTY over Klopp for his achievements, but SU in the CL, lord.
Straight out of my Championship Manager days that. (referencing CM days as if they're in the past....
)Ain't there just. If it was two years I feel there'd be a chance of some top players leaving. But with the general consensus being they'll end up with just one, I can then see most players staying and just focusing on removing Liverpool from their pedestal.
If it was to be two years then the definitely cliche esq statements of "I need CL football" would become poignant....that is before the ghost of Wayne Bridge rears itself and money proves itself king.

Whether it’s right or wrong, I never for a second believed UEFA would do it.
Now I don’t believe an appeal won’t be successful.

Beautiful,dirty cnuts.
That is a good point. It's a serious precedent in a big sport league.
Has this happened before why are people confident it will be overturned? I dont remember any such incidence.
What's next, Liverpool getting caught in using doping and getting relegated?
They will appeal. They will play in the CL.
Finish 5th and get champs league?
Oh yea
Oh yea
Cheats don't prosper
I can't remember the article but apparently one of Citys Lawyers said they had enough cash to keep this beef with Ufea by going in the courts and eventually bankrupt Ufea into submission, and if that didn't work they would basically do what the premier league did to the FA and get the top European clubs to leave CL and start their own super league.
They have blatantly cheated for years. The deserve absolutely everything they get. Good riddance.
Shame is we won’t be able to capitalise on their cheating ways making our season even worse.

Maybe. Though it would be odd for them to overturn a precedent-setting punishment against one of the world’s biggest/most known clubs. Think UEFA is looking to make a statement, and they wouldn’t want that to be diluted in any way.
Meanwhile, the Saudis in crowd...
So Pep will feck off now?
