[razman]

According to New York times the Club who are pushing for a City and PSG bans are Real Madrid and FC Bottlelona


Just sue the shit out of uefa, they wont win in court and they know it

I highly doubt real Madrid has anything to do with it because Perez has a business relation with Sheikh Mansour

UEFA will ban us. CAS will overturn it. We will be in the competition next season. The whinging fuckers will carry on whinging about us but UEFA can say "look we tried to get rid of them", then change the rules again.

Just fuck it off City.

 

[Bill]

They normally do boot us out via a bent ref or use of VAR anyway.

Yep and the daft thing is they don't think we know. How can the best team on the planet keep going out of a comp? Pure corruption thats how.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

This is starting to become a false narrative.

We are owned by one person, Sheikh Mansour, not Abu Dhabi.

A man who has a vast portfolio of private investments from restaurants to Virgin Galactic.

City have been very clear on this.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

So we might not be able to boo that fucking anthem

Booooooooooo

 

[give it to gordon]

So we could be ban using emails etc that were stole from us, how can it be legal, surely they should be done for being in receipt of stolen property

Back2back domestic quad it is then.

See you in court first though.

1 day after winning the title. So predictable in the timing. Bet they want Arsenal to win the Europa league to qualify for the CL then ban us and give Utd our place.

Funnily enough...that Bald Duncan Castles has been saying this all along...that this is a possibility if we were banned

 

[lust overlord]

Should have said fuck you we will see you in court to UEFA years ago.

Appeasement didn't work.

This and only this. In any other business investing in your company is seen as a positive. FFP is a joke of a legislation and would be laughed out of court. Just prove it's illegal and move on.

They haven't been that clear to be honest, IIRC even @Prestwich_Blue believes we are not really owned by Mansour as much as Abu Dhabi as a whole.

They certainly haven't felt the need to correct the dozens of newspapers which conflate the two.

Tariq Panja is a good journalist, if he's saying that UEFA are going for a ban, then it's almost certainly true, and will probably hit the UK papers in a day or two.

Maybe we will see some substantiated quotes in those articles. I’ll look forward to reading those.

But he’s a good journalist apparently.
Sounds like another bitter little **** to me.

I will never understand this infantile obsession with quotes. Pulitzer prizes have been won for reporting off the record without direct quotes.


You don't like the story so you're attacking it, it's bizarre.

Rory Smith again

 

[MCFC1993]

We'll fight whatever comes our way.

Can't say fuck off to them because we get £80m for being in the Champions League.

Sounds to me that they've explored 1 avenue and can't get anything on us, so now they're trying a different route.

Anyway, I'll wait until something more concrete comes up.
