Look closely at City's statement:

"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. "

bravado or real?

Won't be bravado.

Everton fan here.

This is a disgrace. Yes you broke rules but the owner wouldnt have to do that if he was just allowed to fund his own club without having to resort to getting creative.

The whole rule is designed to keep the same little cartel at the top and close the door to anyone else. How can a rule that only allows you to spend what you earn help anyone but those who are already at the top? It doesnt, but thats the whole point.

I hope your owner wipes the floor with them in court or on appeal and gets rid of the whole FFP rule - its a sham.

Indeed. FFP mostly just reinforces the glass ceilings within the game. Exactly what it was designed to do (and conveniently ignores debt).
 
Feel really strange aboutl all this, shocked even though it was pretty much expected, we go tto CAS and its overturned on a technicality, well we're still seen as cheats by others and our achievements are tarnished or do we still go all the f#@kin way through every fu@kin Court in the world and show this corrupt organisation for what it is!!!!!

No players left United when they didn’t qualify for the CL!

FFP is a joke.

Unleash the barristers...here we go!

If we win the amount UEFA will have to pay us for reputations damage finishes them as an organisation.

If we lose we will be set back a few years no doubt but UEFA will be bust in any case.

Someone has got this very wrong. Let’s hope it’s them.

CL means nothing if the best teams aren’t in it.

I'd like to think UEFA have massively over-stepped the mark but everyone outside of UEFA regards Arab Sheikh's with contempt. They've done a political job on us for years. Targeted us and it's come to this. City will feel that the process always had this in mind. But I am not sure anyone cares.

City fans have always been a rebel club. I always thought of us in that way so now we are typecast as the villain for a century. Suits me.

We are at war. Might wake our fans up from the lethargy and comfort induced by 198 points

They're basically saying we've falsified and misreported our year end accounts for several years by wrongly reporting and inflating sponsorship deals to circumvent FFP rules. Which accountancy firm does the club use to sign off it's financial reports ? Does this judgement mean they were complicit too ? Don't give a shit that we "didn't co-operate" - no way should that have a bearing on the severity of any sentence. Why should we co-operate if we feel we're innocent of the charges ?

I would be stunned if the club did this and thought it could get away with it.

This is very, very, very bad news.. no way are they putting this ban out and then letting it get overturned. We will get at least a year and it will massively change the course of the club for the next 5-10 years imo. From Peps continued employment to player recruitment to revenue streams to perception of the club to others... not a positive to be drawn I’m afraid.

Was going to like this post but that gives off the wrong impression. I hate this post because of what it means to the club. Unfortunately this is what UEFA have been working on over the past few years. I get the feeling that behind close doors the bastards will be smiling and patting each other on the back.

I always boo and it was mainly because my mate aswel as others forked out on flights and then got stitched up by these cùnts. It actually annoyed me when Pep wanted it to stop.

I honestly think he should join in when we play Madrid. Would be even better if we fucked the Uefa Jingle off and played Blue moon.

Would not be surprised if the club just didn’t play it at all to be honest

Obviously this has been rumbling for some time but I have spoken to someone with inside knowledge and is close to things at the club who said we were not expecting this and it has taken them by surprise. He also said he has seen some of the evidence and it’s pretty damning against us. If that is the case then what then? If we are guilty of these bogus sponsorship claims then where does that leave us? Mud sticks unfortunately. No surprise Gill is on the committee.

Don’t believe it it goes entirely against the club statement Where is this evidence from, hacked emails URFA did not consider the evidence presented to them as they had days left to go to the chamber it’s a stitch-up plain and simple
