Glad to hear it.
Manchester City banned from CL for 2 seasons and fined 30 million euros | CAS - Ban lifted, fined 10 million
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Glad to hear it.
Suspended ban and fine stands. Far too obvious.
I'd be surprised if we get European football at all next season. Ban to stand from 2021-2023. 
Reports from City are still absolutely adamant that they have the proof to overturn the ban. Guess we’ll find out fairly soon. My instinct is City are deliberately overstating the strength of its case for whatever reason, but I suspect there’ll be enough to persuade CAS to reduce it to one-year.
Knowing CAS, they will overturn this even with clear proof. Cnuts
City bribe CAS
CAS uphold decision
Turns out Newcastle's new owners bribed CAS even more

Where are these reports?
good stuff. Please write us some more.Pretty much every report on it since the story broke comments that City are absolutely adamant that they are not guilty of what UEFA allege and have a strong body of evidence to refute the allegations. There's still nothing about what this evidence is but more recent reports have said that City's position remains absolutely the same. As I've said we'll find out how true it is soon enough.
How can it get so far if they did nothing wrong?
If there is a ban it better not be dated as in 2021 to 2022.
It should be worded to be 2 seasons.

They must have some incredible evidence to even charge them, then issue a 2 year ban.
There's no way they'll get off scot free, as Uefa will just look two bit ponies.
Surely you didn't expect City to say, you've got us, we've been over inflating fan figures, sponsorship deals, and under quoting wages for years, surely?
City have obviously done ‘something wrong’, the point that will be tested at CAS is precisely what that is, how UEFA have reached that judgement, and how reasonable the punishment is.
Well, obviously (although you’ve invented the fan figures part of the case, and it’s not about the sponsorships being inflated but the real source of the money).
What I am saying is that the forcefulness of City’s stance is striking. The initial response attacked UEFA’s integrity. This is not the formulaic and bland refutation of the allegations that you’d expect.
Unfortunately it's not what you know but what you can prove, hopefully UEFA had enough proof to ban these cnuts legitimately, as everyone and their dog knows that piss ant of a club wouldn't be where they are now without their sugar daddies ploughing money into them via "sponsorship".
Add to the fact that they have a "lower wage" bill than most of the top four while none of their star players look elsewhere, then Mancini having two wages for two separate roles etc.
Seeing that this forum doesn't have to submit evidence to call City for what they are, I have no idea why City fans are harping on about where UEFA got the evidence from when debating - yes you're more than likely going to get off scott free, but that doesnt change the fact that your club has in fact broken the rules and that City represent what most fans hate about football.

I've invented the inflation of figures?
It's been a running joke for years about the empty seats in your ground, yet you'd never know it from the figures.
Yes, your post suggested that City apparently inflating attendances has been part of UEFA’s case when it is not.
Yep, that'll do it.
Don’t mock, you haven’t seen it yet. When you do I’m sure you’ll change your mind. It’s a sophisticated and damning caricature of UEFA, I assure you.
If the club and fans hate UEFA so much surely a ban from European football would be welcomed as it would mean the don't have to play in their competition?
Toys. Pram.
This.
Not read the article below yet - but has relevancy to the thread

They're going to have to come up with a different name of these protests than ANTI-ueFA as things will get very confusing
Ironic that City's banner reads Power, Corruption and lies since that's how they've gained their recent success. It should be their slogan.
Embarrassing
That is absolutely pathetic. City are such a massive irritant.
'Power, Corruption, Lies' UEFA are pretty bad too.
The worst part about it is that they haven't even been particularly good in Europe while cheating but still think that it's to stop them, not because they are cheaters.
They received over £8,000 in donations for what looks like a hand-drawn picture of the cast of The Muppets, I’d like to see the receipts for that if I’d donated.
Feck me.
That deserves a ban in itself. Shite.

Scathing. Not sure whether UEFA will recover.
Blimey!
I've got little faith in people-power, mate - after all, our RAWK thread posts didn't stop Liverpool winning the Champions League.
*sobs*
what is this shite?The irony of a group of people sat in a board room with bags of money. I assume they forget they've been caught out due to their own financial irregularities.
Did @Successful create that banner?
At least the local school got something to do during lockdown.
Classic Caf moment that
