I presume if UEFA had the brass neck to attempt a ban we'd go straight to CAS and mediate after.

Champions League ban?

There are, but that's some way down the line in City's case. CAS is not a quick body to work through.
The last time around, the club obviously decided to be pragmatic, and I assume told UEFA privately what they thought of it, which is why the club issued the 'good of football'/taking the pinch statement at the time.
I imagine there would be a fair amount of lawyerly mediation/arbitration before it got anywhere near CAS.
I imagine there's a fair bit going on right now come to that. City will have been in communication with UEFA over the last month, without a shadow of a doubt.

Without question, and I think that's why UEFA haven't yet got a comment on what is going to happen. They'll be weighing up if there is anything they can pursue.

That's possible. I wouldn't expect any 'ban' level sanction to be forthcoming in under a month since SpiegelTag. As Henkeman suggests, I doubt the UEFA lawyers would let them do something which doesn't have a very firm basis.

And equally why City have stayed silent apart from one short statement. I'm not remotely surprised UEFA have said it's being looked at, there's realistically nothing else they could say.
I'd say just "Fuck UEFA" on repeatHow about:
You corrupt bastards
UEFA
Fuck FFP
We're City

Exactly my thoughts.
Couldn't say 'we're not looking'!

I'm proud to admit I got that quote out of him when asking what the reaction to our takeover was at the swamp.Interesting quotes from Gill at the time...

If it was a can of worms they didn't want opened, then saying it was being examined, going off to the Maldives for a bit and then coming back and saying there was nothing incriminating but that City have been reminded of their responsibilities in future would be the path of least resistance....shall we say.

It is my understanding that CAS is used only after ALL other forms of mediation have been exhausted.
