City banned from Europe, Twwwwiiiiiicccceeee

[moron]

What if they win it this season,...will UEFA ban the holders next season ? I distinctly remember the debate in europe after our 2005 win and the fact that we came 5th in the league. UEFA allowed 5 teams from England to compete for the first time in the CL, everton getting 4th that season.

Nah then there is a case for Utd to get the 2012 one.

Think about 2018...

In hindsight, I think it's very important that we have built an insurmountable lead in the league before this announcement. Had it been close, our eventual win would have been cheapened as people would have pointed to this as the reason why City's season imploded. As it is, we beat them in a fair fight and did it comprehensively – like a bare-knuckle one on one fight with a villain at the end of every action movie. Only when they were knocked out cold on the ground, the cops showed up.

Yes, because they are banned from Europe

They're lucky they're not banned right now

As long as any appeal doesn’t get totally overturned then they have been found guilty which hopefully means they have to be squeaky clean in the future. But it’s not the first time they’ve been done which hopefully adds to the weight of evidence against them. They think they’re above the law.

If the ban gets completely overturned, the UEFA might as well forget FFP.

Manchester City are now facing a Premier League points deduction, as their punishment for “serious breaches” of Uefa Financial Fair Play also represents a breach of the domestic competition’s regulations.
The defending English champions were on Friday night given the unprecedented sanction of a two-year ban from the Champions League and €30m fine, after Uefa’s Adjudicatory Chamber found the club had overstated its sponsorship revenue in accounts submitted to the European governing body between 2012 and 2016.

High-level sources say that will force the Premier League to act due to their own licensing, which pertains to Uefa’s Financial Fair Play regulations.

Imagine how much shit Rodgers is gonna come out with when it turns out he won the league in 2014

 

[binomial]

They were never winning it anyway.

Mourinho will now claim another title for his resume.

 

[binomial]

Can the points deduction start from next seqson?

Would love the chance to hear it! Though, in fact - while it would be foolish to claim that Liverpool were squeaky clean, we have in effect been cheated out of the league twice by a team brazenly flouting the rules. We should retroactively be awarded at least last season's title.

 

[Woland]

Love that the whole project, all the billions, it was all about trying to get people in the West to think nice things about Abu Dhabi. Could it have gone any more wrong?

Current Champions of Europe and the World; twenty eleven points clear at the top of the league; City banned from Europe, fined 30m, exposed as cheats and faced with more sanctions; while also being gripped in paroxysms of paranoid fury about VAR and corruption, even BEFORE this happened.

This must be what it feels like to be some kind of Galactus-style emperor, sitting on a throne made from the bones of vanquished enemies and sipping the never-ending warm and salty tears of screaming, doomed and enslaved chattels from a gleaming cup fashioned from the skull of your defeated nemesis.

Fill up my Pep Skull! For I am ever thirsty!

 

[manwithnoname]

I am aware that, on occasion, my wordy, disturbing flights of fancy do offer up a somewhat disconcerting peek into my psyche, but on the other hand - FUCK City

And that's even before we mention United with Ole at the wheel.

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.

Does this argument remind anyone of any other ludicrous attempt to defend the indefensible ?

 

[Y1]

Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha. Good start to my day!

City believing Brexit means Brexit

Winning the treble, crowned world champions and this. What a season this is.

Still time for it to go wrong.

 

[momoWASboss]

We may only get a double.

 

[StevieM]

I guess we should be calling it ManCexit now.

I can’t decide whether to pronounce it “Man-Sex-it” or “Man-Cake-Sit”.

Both work I guess.

"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". I couldn't care less what happens to that particular appeal. They've basically poked a very sharp and poisonous stick into the body that controls their destiny. You may as well have told Kim Jong-un he was in the wrong because he didn't get their joke. They won''t get a positive decision from UEFA for decades.

 

[Squiggles]

Are we living in some weird dream? Has football ever been better? Gutted I have to work 12 hours tomorrow instead of investing that time reading Blue Fume. I'm going to let it brew and saviour it like a fine wine.

Anyone who needs to enjoy what LFC are doing by looking at what any other club's fans are thinking needs their head examining. Who gives a damn? Is your penis on the short side? Do you work for a dubious corporation? Are you 14 and/or a mate of Phil Schofield?

 

[Brizzle]

i was convinced we’re on our way to building a new dynasty but I’m not even more so. We’re watching the best ever liverpool team in history and all of our rivals are completely falling apart
