UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

I think that CAS would undertake a quick review and if they believe we have a strong case then yes we would be allowed to complete

Only if we ask for a suspension I believe, CAS won't automatically give it us.

If the ban stays do the 5th team get automatic entry then?

Yes, unless the season is curtailed and the rags end up in 6th due to whatever criteria they use. In that case it will go to the 6th place team as that is fairer.

Probably not necessarily.
If the season was completed, then it would be difficult to not do so.
If the season is not completed, UEFA have something written which talks vaguely about 'sporting merit'.

Right ok - thanks again.

apart of me thought the FA wanting to finish this season was not only wanting the dippers to “officially” win it, but then get the rags into the CL.

Wasn't it public perception?

BBC report:
Uefa said National Associations can select clubs if their leagues cannot be finished for "legitimate reasons".

If a season is not finished for reasons that do not meet Uefa guidelines then the body can reject the teams put forward by a national association.

It said it could refuse selections if they were not deemed to have been chosen in a way which was "objective, transparent and non-discriminatory" and can also refuse entry to selected teams if "there is a public perception of unfairness in the qualification of the club".

That’s designed to stop teams that win CAS appeals.

Or help teams that play in red and finish below 4th. You can see this coming a mile off :-(

Who gives a shit. We have a free run at the league if we get a ban and utd end up getting knocked out of the group stage.
Bonnet de deuce.

There it is.... the punchline, the whole point of their contrived ‘investigations’.
The constant drip feed of leaks which could wreck their case, has been at the very centre of it.
It doesn’t matter if we have breached the so-called ffp regs, uefa were never really interested in the substance of the case, all they wanted to do was get as much poison and lies into the public domain with the view that enough shit would stick and ‘public perception’ could be massaged into the pile of lies and smears that we see now.
They’ve seen the by-passing of the truth done successfully by lying and obfuscating politicians on both sides of the ocean, and they have made it their target to do it to us.
Their problem now is, who decides what the public perception is?
Obviously they do.
