Hope we don’t lose our top club sponsors due to not being in Europe. Otherwise less income coming into the club.

Doubt it makes a difference. Juventus managed after their Calciopoli (something actually heinous).

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.

Don’t sugarcoat it, mate, give it to us straight.

Anyone worried we may lose some players due to this?

 

[Holistic Blue]

Will he women's team be banned as well? Equal rights and all that ...?

 

[Blue Mist]

if this witch hunt is upheld do we expect Pep to leave given the impact it will have on player recruitment ?

3 posts, should I answer or not ? hmmmmmmm. yes I think I saw Pep at the airport tonight actually, he did have a return ticket but I think that was just to put us off the scent.

Does the premier league case tie in with UEFA ffp case.
If so what sanctions could the premier league put on us ?
Points deduction?
Titles stripped ?

 

[Centurions]

I think CAS is more or less telling UEFA to bring it on if they dare.

Be it on their head.

Well, they dared...

The next few months (or even years) are going to be fun.

Whilst I admire your optimism and hope to god you are right fans are right to be very concerned about this. So far if the club is to be believed we got done over last time, got called cheats and took a pinch. That was a shithouse thing to do if we were clean. We keep hearing the media var and refs are against us even the head of the premier league. What do we do with these journalists? Not much. What media campaign do we run? Not much. A sound bite from Pep which could be taken as somethIng else. Wow.

Now let’s take Liverpool they actually hack us, admit to hacking us and boy do we go for it, 1 million and keep it stum. Brilliant a team that is our rival. That has cheated and we tickle their tum. I don’t know a fan of any other club who even knows the story. I know plenty who think we are cheats. In fact unless you are a city fan that’s now what we are cheats. Everything we achieved was diluted as money bags City buying it, now it’s worse we are bent.

They fucking better start not just over turning this but go after all the fuckers that have done us over and spread this shit. Unless we’re guilty of course.

Spot on.

Its took me quite a while to reach this point and this opinion but im increasingly getting fucked off with our silent, shit all over us approach from the UEFA to some hack at the local rag!

I doubt this would require a long arbitration but in that case CAS should suspend any punishment until their verdict.
