UEFA will have to go for a wonga loan to pay out CL money if we take them to court and clean them out

Sly Sports poll: 81% of rags and dippers in favour of UEFA ban

How can they even run a poll, "based on all the information available (none) do you thing Man City are guilty"?

Whatever happens and I am not confident that CAS will overturn the ban, City will still carry on and we the fans will still be here through thick and thin. Today has been a bad day, but we fight to the end.

em, unless some of us leave 10 minutes beforehand :)

Not sure - see @Tricky_Trev 's post above.
CAS appears to be the only appeal route

Judicial recourse to the Swiss Federal Tribunal is allowed on a very limited number of grounds, such as lack of jurisdiction, violation of elementary procedural rules (e.g. violation of the right to a fair hearing) or incompatibility with public policy.

If we lose the appeal and this is upheld it could set us back years. I have no doubt Pep and key players will leave and the lack of money and the attraction of champions league football will mean poor recruitment. A poorer team will then struggle for a top four finish in two years time. In those two years our rivals will strengthen even more. This is a critical time.

Mail reporting that an asterisk should be put beside our achievements as we got them by cheating and should we be stripped of them! Christ almighty

...and our PR department will do nothing but roll out a player at a later date for a Mail journalist to interview.

The fact that all UEFA appeals are subject to the Swiss courts tells you what a fucking mockery this is. If this charade doesn’t inspire us to win it this year, nothing will. Win it, shit in it and send it back to it a black bin bag. Via Hermes.

It’s what ‘they’ve’wanted all along.
Expect a relentless media campaign.

Here’s the UEFA announcement in full

“UEFA takes note of the decision of the independent Adjudicatory Chamber of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB), issued today, which included the following summary of its content and effect to be announced as required by the Procedural Rules governing the CFCB:

“Following a hearing held on 22 January 2020 the Adjudicatory Chamber of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB), chaired by José da Cunha Rodrigues, has today notified Manchester City Football Club of the final decision on the case which was referred by the CFCB Chief Investigator.

The Adjudicatory Chamber, having considered all the evidence, has found that Manchester City Football Club committed serious breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations by overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016.

The Adjudicatory Chamber has also found that in breach of the regulations the Club failed to cooperate in the investigation of this case by the CFCB.

The Adjudicatory Chamber has imposed disciplinary measures on Manchester City Football Club directing that it shall be excluded from participation in UEFA club competitions in the next two seasons (ie. the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons) and pay a fine of € 30 million.

The decision of the Adjudicatory Chamber is subject to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). If Manchester City Football Club exercises that right the full reasoned decision of the Adjudicatory Chamber will not be published prior to publication of the final award by the CAS.”

As noted by the Adjudicatory Chamber, the club has the right to appeal this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Therefore, UEFA will not be commenting further on this decision at this stage.”

The most outrageous bit is the last sentence .... don’t make me laugh.

Funny they’ve also expanded the window up to 2016 and called our auditors crooks as well as the Board

There’s only one question - please show us your evidence?

Come on City

Seems fair, they're not even going to tell anyone what their reasoning for the ban is if we choose to take it to CAS........
