I have to say it's amazing how many people on here are pretending to celebrate this like being out of Europe is a great thing because it's not your favourite competition or you can cancel your BT Sports subscription.

Don't you think at all about the players or the coaches who hold lifelong dreams of winning the thing? Silva said at least 2 years ago he thought he'd retire if we won, he's literally been holding out for it, and others like Aguero, KDB, Fernandinho will be the same. I could never celebrate something which is either going to deny some of our greatest players ever their last couple of chances at this competition, or potentially cause some to leave.
 
I hope to god we just don't bend over and accept this. Khaldoon said we took a "pinch" last time. Well time to show your balls now lads. Hang UEFA out to dry and show them we mean BUSINESS!! This next few months could be the most important in our clubs history. If we just sit there and take it then it will damage us for years. We will need to re build all over again. Players will leave and we won't attract the top stars. UEFA have been waiting for this moment and we need to stand up to them!!!

The last paragraph says that if City appeal UEFA will not publish the reasons for their decision ie show what evidence they have. How convenient for them. This is a game of poker and the stakes couldn't be higher. UEFA have taken a huge gamble after what CAS revealed this week. Perhaps the strategy is that UEFA know the ban will be overturned without them having to explain their decision and that CAS will get them off the hook.

Unfortunately I have zero confidence that city will stand up to this. I hope I’m wrong but we seem to have been here many times before on different levels and the club never seems to stand up for itself.

I completely agree, we always seem to wait for something to happen before we get going. The media have been allowed to discredit our achievements with impunity whilst the Club allowed it to happen and continue to fawn all over them when at our stadium. I have never been a lover of the Chumps League as it was obvious we were not wanted. I think we will end up backing down with a wimper as Pep moves on to an Italian team.
 
I could not care less.

I just hope this doesn't in any way makes it more difficult to get the players we want in the transfer market.
 
The says what you all want to hear the club will not be shafted by these twats
Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity.
 
So let's get this straight.

First they introduce FFP to fuck us over and keep the establishment clubs at the top.

Then when we work around FFP they move the goalposts last minute and punish us. We take the pinch.

Then someone (I wonder who) orders a hack into our emails and publishes them in a newspaper, Der Spiegel, which was later embroiled in a fake news scandal. Meanwhile, the guy in charge of the hacking site is now jailed for extortion.

Then UEFA prejudiced their own investigation by making both public and private statements suggesting we would be found guilty and leaking to the press. (CAS agreed with us on this by the way).

Finally, UEFA give us the biggest possible punishment based on hacked emails and us not co-operating with an investigation that was rigged against us in the first place, despite already punishing us (unfairly) for the alleged breaches in 2014.

Boo.
 
If upheld if will be very harmful for recruitment . Really don’t fucking like us do they. That’s a huge ban so if they can’t back it up we should sue the shit out of them cos mud sticks!!!!
 
Are we likely to get a transfer ban for this as well?

I'm enjoying the gloating from rival fans, the same fans who will be complaining that we have less games during the seasons we're banned from Europe...
 
The c***s fiddled us out of their shit competition the last two seasons and probably will this season, ban us two more that’s five years they have shit on us !
 
Make it known we are talking to top clubs around Europe with a bid to set up a European super league outside the auspices of UEFA and looking to affiliate to FIFA - make it known we are trying to circumvent them and take the big names and big money with us so that their " Champions League " competition will feature Watford and Nevrton and the Europa League will be the domain of Peterborough and the dirty Leeds who will come and wreck their French stadiums again. Send a cold shiver of becoming inconsequential up their spines - if they have one.

If you’ve never booed, or being one go those people who have always been against booing, the you’re a fucking mug. These ****s have always been out to get City. Ever since Mansour and Khaldoon threatened to crash the cozy top four party and Europe’s elite, we’ve been public enemy number one. I hope we fuck them over in court, but something tells me they’ll get away with it.

Thanks for your insightful reply, you mug. You do what you want to do and I'll do what I want to do. If people have wanted to boo in the past then I've been happy to watch them, I've not wanted to join in, I'm not a sheep, I do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and now I choose to boo, so mug off.
