It couldn't be for 2 years if it is suspended from 30th June 2018 (unless it came in in 2016) or am I reading it wrong?

Actually yeah... so three years suspended means we are on some kind of probation for three years after it? Why do they bother saying it's 2years at all then, lawyers never say anything clearly do they?Depends when it starts - if it's 1 July 2017 then it's only one year

It's one year providing we don't fall foul of the rules.
So as stated in an earlier post ,all this does is punish English youth players who could have joined the CFA but now can't ,So potentially in theory the English national team could suffer somewhere down the line but other countries could gain due to us concentrating on overseas youth . But it's ok the FA have got 3 hundred thousand out of the cash point that is City .

Yeah, I'm reading it as 2 years with the second year suspended for 3 years if we don't mess up again in that time

This was Liverpools ban: 'The ruling means Liverpool cannot sign players who have been registered to another Premier League or English Football League academy for two years. The second year of the ban is suspended for a three-year period.'Actually yeah... so three years suspended means we are on some kind of probation for three years after it? Why do they bother saying it's 2years at all then, lawyers never say anything clearly do they?
The same as us, 1 year ban as long as we don't do it again.

Well one English "wonderkid" this means we will probably miss out on is from the telegraph article I linked to a while back: Ben Knight from Ipswich, this could be why we never heard anything about it again?

10. Who cares anyway. The academy will probably produce one or two players maximum in the next 5 years.
11. English players are generally shite.
12. St Bede's will be more worried than anyone when the gravy train stops for a year.....
13. Lol!!
I'm not surprised at all. The whole business of getting youth players seems shady as fuck. All clubs are up to dirty tricks and tactics to try and lure the exciting prospects to their clubs so as I said I'm not surprised we got done for it. Don't think we'll be the last club banned either. They're all up to it.
