Watch us finish 5th now.
Exciting times ahead....that decision not to ban them will be the end of football. if you don't have owners that can throw billions at their team then the only hope of competing is getting lucky ala Leicester. FFP will go out the window City will go about it as they have the last 12 years, Chelsea will go about it like the last 17 years, and clubs like Liverpool, Man U who have a historic history will be winning most of the domestic trophies for the next god knows how many years.
if Newcastle gets taken over within the next 5 seasons the top 5 will be the same top 5 for many years to come, just will never know the final positions.
us we will be fighting a battle with Arsenal to who finishes above who each season and hope to get lucky to finish in the top 4. I doubt either club will ever get taken over, as Kronke uses Arsenal to fund his main enjoyment at home in the USA, and no person will ever buy us at the value ENIC have put on our heads, and then invest the money that will be needed to catch them up when there are plenty of clubs they could buy like Newcastle at a cost so much lower and still spend 2b and be better off
The source of the money is always a consideration though whether it be money laundering or exploitation.
Isn't that more the responsibility of governments than Uefa? Illegal money laundering should be investigated by authorities.
As for exploitation - well that's a slippery and hypocritical slope. Many of our luxuries after all are made in disgustingly exploitative situations. The first world has just outsourced its exploitation. If the money used is legally obtained and being legally invested in a business in the UK, then it really ought to be the owner's prerogative how to run and invest in their business (assuming it's abiding by the law).
Sometimes it’s best to just to keep quiet, get on with your job and not comment on issues above your pay grade...lol pep wanting apology? lmfao what a clown...

To be honest if it does go that way I hope we stay out of it (unlikely we'll get invited anyway).Yep, UCL broadcasters will be looking at the serious revenue they're missing out on the longer clubs like Arsenal and United continue to struggle on the pitch. They wouldn't even care about killing the domestic game as there is so much money to be made in Asia and America that they wouldn't need traditional fans of those clubs anymore.
This decision has given powerful clubs the greenlight to walk all over UEFA.

I'd like to think the club stays close to its community and I think staying domestic we would see a lot more entertainment. Obviously our chances of success would increase massively but that wouldn't be the reason I'd want us to stay. I reckon it'd be more like the Championship but with better quality. A lot more unpredictability and I think a lot of real fans would buy into it much more.
Whilst the Super League would become a bit monotone. Same clubs facing off against each other, same faces, similar outcomes and not to mention all the globe trotting.
Anyway, I'm getting a bit carried away..
Cas releases its reasons for overturning Manchester City's Europe ban
The court of arbitration for sport’s judgment on the case involving Manchester City has been releasedwww.theguardian.com
Yeah, you can literally cheat and pray that no-one notices for 5 years by which time it's too late to convict you.So they did cheat. UEFA fucked it up.
Also, if you are able to recommend 2 of the 3 members of the CAS panel that are going to investigate you then there is a very good chance that they will vote 2-1 in your favor.
The Guardian reported that....I've seen this mentioned a couple of times on here, is it actually true? Is it referenced anywhere (and forgive me for this) more legitimate?
