How can a CL ban be spoke about in the press if the result of the investigation hasn't been decided or published?

Really don't understand your NY Times fan club, but in 2018 they had to print over 4100 retractions and/or corrections, they published 55k articles, so over 7% of everything they published contained errors.I have very little respect for Journalist's these days but to me an error rate of 7 % is a fucking disgrace, certainly nothing to lauded or place on a pedestal of professional excellence.

You are 100% right. The ny slimes has become a garbage tier rag over the last few years. Not a Trump/Brexit fan or supporter, but ever since he became president the slimes have gone off the rails like 90% of the rest of the media here in the states. They hire editors with anti white racist views(Sara jeong), leaked pics from Manchester bombing, recent anti Semitic cartoons, etc. they used to be reliable but now they are taken with a heaping dose of salt.

I think it did use an "if" to qualify our potential guilt.

It's still a very dubious line to take, and one that given the initial claim about it being from UEFA sources City will be all over like a rash. There aren't defined penalties here, it's not like points on your driving licence. So any suggestion whatever about the level of punishment BEFORE guilt has been established is going to be pounced on by the lawyers as indicative of a corrupt process.

It's not the media who have necessarily done wrong here, because I can't see for a second that this original article is made up. It will have been sourced. But the implication that punishment has been meted out before the process is complete is going to go down like a cup of warm sick at any court hearing.
 
SKY still have "City facing Champions League Ban".

Is that not rather like saying that someone on trial is "facing prison", and therefore influencing opinion without any facts?

Liverpool watching with interest as Man City face prospect of Champions League ban
UEFA are set to make a final decision over the coming weeks

Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group have always been strong supporters of UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules which are supposed to ensure that top clubs live within their means. They will be awaiting the outcome of the investigations into City's conduct with interest.

When I was a kid I couldn’t for life of me understand why my Dad hated Liverpool more than United, I now understand.

What’s it got to do with them ? Unless of course they’re going to be calling for us to be stripped of the title and thus awarded to them. Either that or they’ll be screaming for some kind of points deduction or , as in the case of Rangers, thrown down the divisions.
They will stoop to any depth to get that title next season. Make no mistake.

All of this talking, all of this thread, all of the upset and fear it's all causing, this is exactly what our enemies in the press want. They want a: to stop us enjoying this moment. b: to somehow make everything this team and club have achieved to be tainted. And for that reason I dont give a shit. It's no coincidence this has come out the day after winning the Prmier from Liverpool, it's designed fake news. Fuck em, I cannot be arsed anymore listening to this shit.

Spot on mate. This might be news in forumsville but in real life every blue I know is absolutely bouncing. We’ve just retained the title and in 4 days time we’re heading to Wembley for the FA Cup final

Put your phones down lads, get outside in the sunshine, crack open a beer and smile - all’s well with the world :-)
 
Bring it on...

The chap in charge Leterme said "if proved, sanctions can be .. up to exclusion".

That all seems fair, as it started with the important "if" - it would all be in the regulations

It has been abbreviated for the hard of thinking to "will recommend exclusion".

Conn (Guardian) has written that the investigatory committee (IC) themselves can only issue warnings, reprimands or a €100k fine. Anything beyond that has to go to a separate panel to decide on action - that's when any punishment will be decided, and this will take into account the recommendations of the IC and chances of making anything stick.
