If we retain the same amount of CL's spots and placings with our eight point gap down to Chelsea we have an absloutley fantastic opportunity to finish 3rd and go straight into the group stage instead of potentially having to play a dangerous play off round.

Not so sure ... might they give their place to another country? Also, begs the question, shouldn't Man City be relegated a couple of divisions here at home?
rn9013 Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 Mahrez is probably in an airport lounge already...
Sammy Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 Wonder if Mahrez is going to 'waste 2 years of his career' now..
Dorkingfox Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 The arrogance, will they never learn, £50m in 2014, Manchester City fined by Fifa over recruitment of players under 18 players so fined £310,000 but avoid transfer window ban, now fined £27 and banned from Europe for two years. So Sarries and Man City found cheating, serves them right.

English Top 4 go straight into group stage

There are no play off rounds for the champions league anymore in England. All 4 English teams go into the group stages.
Corky Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 We've had our own issues with FFP (on a smaller scale admittedly) so I won't be moralising but I'm very surprised it's a ban like this, though it will be appealed quickly. Best to assume it'll still be top four going in before anything absolutely concrete occurs.
RowlattsFox Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 I don't really understand all this but PSG weren't banned were they? Was that different. Can see it being appealed and turned over.
The Mixer Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 I would assume that the appeal with the Sports Court of Arbitration won't be heard all that quickly. Would that mean the ban would be postponed until it's heard giving them another season in Champs League?
David Hankey Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 What a position Gladiola will leave them in.

That’s as may be, but I am attempting to become more “hip” (Was just “with it” in my day) so I figure a way to go about that is to become offended by anything I see.
oxtonfox Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 All the major papers will be reporting this Man City ban. Sunday supplement etc. Tonight's game will be incidental.

The EFL's own rules aren't fit for purpose; they acknowledged in the statement that the issue arose from a genuine difference of interpretation of the law and that we made no attempt to deliberately break them. I'm fine with our conduct to be honest - EFL's FFP rules are such a load of bollocks that almost every single team that's supposed to abide by them has either broken them by accident or had to be creative.
oxtonfox Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 I fancy Ayoze Pérez Gutiérrez to bag one tonight. Spaniard against the Portuguese hordes
justfoxes Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 Bloody hell that’ll cause a few waves for the oil brothers !! I'm sure £24.9m is just a bit of spare change for the Sheikh ?
Shamomoa Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 Yaaaaas couple this news with a win and we are down for a gd weekend! :-D
Byson Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 About time something was done about their financial fair play cheating.
urban.spaceman Posted 14 February 2020 Posted 14 February 2020 They'll definitely appeal. They're fiercely defensive of their behaviour and may well manage to get it lowered or dropped altogether. I hope it sticks though as that's a very important ban. One year they could just about cope with but with 2, they'll have plenty of players now wanting out and prospective players not wanting to join - which should protect our interests to an extent. That's also £100m+ in revenue that they'll be short of, let alone the effect of losing Pep. ****ing brilliant news.
