  2. Sufficient number of hotel rooms for UEFA and its partners, no less than 1,000 5-star beds. Additional capacity of lower grade hotels is also required.
Does the Etihad not qualify as 5 star?

Not suggesting we get the final, just wondering
 
Why are you objecting to Wembley? Biggest ground? More fans.

Suddenly I have a glimmer of a chance of seeing my side in a Champions League final and some are half-hearted about it being played at Wembley?!

Correct, Marvin. some crackers takes IMHO
 
Why are the EFL play offs that weekend anyway? Obviously it's Bank Holiday weekend so they can get the three games in but they could have the first two-leg qualifying games this midweek and next weekend, then play the League 1 & 2 play-off games on the weekend of the 22nd/23rd.

They could then play the CL on Saturday, with the Championship on on Monday, as planned

I would class your suggestion as being a tad unfair on the EFL teams that are competing that weekend.

What does number 9 mean?
 
It's all speculation, but the reports I've read seem to suggest that only the following is possible and the state of play is:

* Lisbon, Budapest and all UK grounds other than Wembley have been ruled out.
* The EFL will move the play-off final to allow both teams to train the day before and have the CL final at Wembley.
* Special dispensation will have to be granted by the UK government in one of two forms: quarantine exemptions to people travelling to England for the game; or, quarantine exemptions granted to the two teams and small numbers of press figures upon return to England.
* The Turkish authorities will be due compensation to the tune of £20m if it is moved to Wembley. UEFA would ask both competing sides to forfeit prize money in order for this to be paid.


With all this in mind, you would have to think that the final remaining in Istanbul remains the favourite.
If the players have to quarantine for 10 days upon return then I don’t think there’s any chance it gets played in Istanbul

We are in category 4 (along with Liverpool) so we can hold Europa League Finals(like in 2008) but not a Champions League final. Not sure why as looking at those requirements we comply with them. If the Stadium gets expanded we might then
