Dorkingfox Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 Manchester City have failed in an initial bid to have the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) halt Uefa's investigation into a possible breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. City have been referred to Uefa's financial watchdog, the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) and if found guilty could face a Champions League ban. Cas said City's appeal was "inadmissible" at this stage because the CFCB has not yet determined what, if any, punishment would be applied if they were found guilty. The club, who deny wrongdoing, had argued that Uefa did not have the authority to bring an FFP case against them.
brucey Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 I don't understand what's going on. Yesterday the Athletic comes out with an article saying they've been fined and will escape a CL ban. Today this comes out saying their appeal has failed and they might still be banned. So are they getting banned or not???

FoxFossil Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 You're getting banned in the morning, banned in the morning. (repeat) If only money didn't mean this will never happen. Chelski as well please Santa.
Foxxed Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 I have it on good authority we're getting Mahrez back in the deal...

Has had nothing but good things to say about us since he left. I'm pretty sure he never wanted to leave in the first place.
Dorkingfox Posted 15 November 2019 Author Posted 15 November 2019 Basically Man City are trying to black the investigation, they say they have done nothing wrong, like in 2014 when they were fined £50m, strange how they never do anything wrong?
FoxFossil Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 BBC article suggest Liverpool also under investigation. Points deduction please. Happy days!
LC/FC Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 So with this looming over their heads still, how is spending 100 million for Cags or Evans a possibility? Anyone know?

st albans fox Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 If uefa don’t ban them then FFP is finished then it’s back to the deepest pockets scenario and contrary to general belief in here, that’s not so wonderful for us ..... at the moment .....

Jattdogg Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 Cheating cvnts. Pep back to Barca or Bayern? Mahrez to arsenal lmfao dream move.
Mint23 Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 I’ve read so much about FFP in the past few seasons and it still seems a minefield to understand. If any of these clubs do breach the rules then bans and points deductions really are the only option. If you fine a team a few million it really isn’t going to be a deterrent so therefore can’t be classed as a punishment, they need to take a look at the huge points deduction Saracens have been given in rugby as a great example, that will cost them a Any chance of a European place, they will lose players and could even get relegated as a result - hows that for a deterrent?!
m4DD0gg Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 Ultimately a system devised to keep the top clubs at the top and punish the **** out of anyone else who dares stray from the line.

Fox92 Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 Something else for them fans to moan about. "Nobody likes us".

StanSP Posted 15 November 2019 Posted 15 November 2019 Look who they're owned by. Look how much money they have. They've basically said they haven't done anything wrong but won't let UEFA look at their accounts etc. So what's to hide? Even if they do find something wrong, It'll be a slap on the wrist and a fine that bears absolutely no significant hit to their finances. If it was a smaller club in Europe like Slavia Prague or Genk they'd get slaughtered for it.
