be interesting to see what sort of fine we get.

lets wait for the details to come out.

On the basis of Bernardo’s fine - I’d guess a couple of billion.

More than they fine teams and fans for racist abuse, you can bet your house on that.

Be interesting how the club react to this as well, They were adament we did nothing wrong and so why accept a fine?

This. Hopefully the club will fight any charges even a fine

 

[abu13]

I hope the club fight the fine and no matter what the outcome is the lawyers are involved to ensure this then closes the matter.

 

[ballinio]

They like a fine don’t they UEFA.

 

[nmc]

It’s clear that UEFA want this sorted before CAS make a judgement. What a pile of steaming horseshit run modern day football.

And then move on to relegating Liverpool from the Premier League and banning them from the Champions League.

I'd settle for the fine to be honest. Hope it's true. Others may disagree.

Someone's got to pay the investment costs

 

[Fred_Quimby]

A fine for doing nothing wrong?

It's a token to show that they have taken 'action'. It also, probably, ensures City won't take any action.

 

[kaz7]

Ha no ban,that will boil some piss,fight a fine,we have paid them already

How many more investigations to go?

 

[GortonBlue62]

If the fine is higher than Liverpool got for wrecking our coach, I'd appeal.

Investigation that should be

Am I missing the point here - there's no actual news, just more specubollox about something that might happen next month

A fine for doing nothing wrong?

A fine is an easy way out for UEFA. They know they can't pin anything on a few seven-year-old emails stolen as part of a criminal enterprise. I wonder if UEFA have even seen the so-called emails. They don't have any evidence. The reputation of Der Spiegel is in tatters over separate (and admitted) cases of fake news. The hacker Rui Pinto is facing a big prison sentence.
But it all hinges on whether City accept "the pinch" this time. UEFA's lawyers seem to be gambling that City will not want years of legal battles that could cost them more than any fine. But what about the scumbags in the UK press who published all the smear allegations that City would be banned fed to them by you know who?

We must be nearly investigation free, surely?

I think you're right mate. It's journalist sources. Unconfirmed, but I would say they are likely to be correct.

[HelloCity]

Dislike how the article reads as though City were definitely guilty. Expected considering those involved though.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I hope we contest the fine tbh. It's the only way of defending ourselves.

Would love to hear PB views on this

I know expedience can be beneficial sometimes - but here I’d tell em to fuck off. We took a pinch before and look where that got us. We need to see this through, rip the arse out of UEFA and FFP and use it to leverage huge changes to take power away from our enemies at the top table. UEFA are corrupt and we need to expose them for what they are not play along with their stupid agendas.
