Does anyone have a clue whats going on ?

When will the appeal be heard surely they wont get it done before the end of the season?

Would be our luck that we finish 5th or 8th and the appeal be overturned
 

No. No one knows what’s going on. Right now 5th will get you a CL place. But that’s subject to appeal and, unless it’s been announced in the last half hour whilst I’ve been having a ‘Tutton’ the timetable for the appeal hasn’t been confirmed.
 
No doubt get off or go on forever.

When their owners say they'd rather pay 30 million on lawyers than accept sanctions you know what's coming.

Look how long Tevez took, look how the Pigs havent had anything confirmed.

The leagues and associations have nothing like the authority they once had. All about court challenges now.

The clubs take the piss and abuse the system whilst sticking two fingers up, then cry when caught.

Could go on a while yet but I'm pretty confident we'll win it and stay up, sending West Ham down
 
I reckon a likely outcome is that the verdict will be suspended until CAS have delivered their verdict , meaning Man City would play in the CL next season.
 
Citeh fan at work reckons the action will get overturned on appeal but that it could take up to two years.

He seemed quite knowledgeable on what the allegations were and how they were incorrect - not in an arrogant way, in the way of someone who knows what he's on about. He reckons by the time the appeals process is done, they will get off but by that time they will have missed out on CL for possibly 2 seasons so they'd be looking at compo from UEFA.
 
There have been some fishy going on’s with regard to some of the decisions that have had a negative impact on us over the years. As a result of these, my glass is ‘Half Empty’ and as such I always expect the rug to be pulled out from under us...

The Premier league teams are trying to get the Premier league to insist that a decision is made by UEFA by the END of this season.

The main reason is if the 5th place club needs to plan for the champions league and teams below for the Europa league.

If the 8th club in the Prem is now going to be in the Europa League, as against the 7th then they need to plan also.

City have been working on a strategy for months as they have expected this for ages. They intend initially appealing to CAS, then a court in Switzerland (UEFA's HQ) and then the EU.

For me, the decision to ban City should stand, pending any appeal. If City win, then let City claim compensation from UEFA - this situation is against City, NOT everyone else who may be dragged into the sordid affair.

Image the 8th club in the Prem missing out on Europe next season, City perhaps winning it and the case being proven - there would be court cases all over from aggrieved parties - none more so than whoever finishes 8th..........the Blades perhaps?

Both UEFA and the Premier league need to be strong.

If you read the BBC article, it does mention that they "may" be allowed to see the same evidence as UEFA if they decide to bring a charge against City too. For sure if UEFA wins, expect the Premier league to go after City too..........now that would be interesting.

All in all, if the Premier league do eventually go after City - it may even mean relegation.

This issue is going to be big - it is estimated City would lose between £200m-£300m in champions league money alone - never mind fines that would accrue from the premier League and possible relegation if allegations are proven.

This exact question was asked on Talksport this afternoon and they had an expert on to answer it.

He said the CAS will fast track the appeal and they expect an answer in 1 to 2 months. Said no one knows the result because no ones knows the detail of Man City’s offence but many guess that the severe punishment must mean it’s serious and many guess that the UEFA legal experts must have strong evidence and know they have a strong case to find Man City guilty.

He said the important decision by COP will be if they agree with UEFA then do they remove the ban if Man City want to appeal at a higher level and then he thinks it could take 1 year to sort out. However if COP decide the ban still stands then Man City could lose loads of money so something will happen over the Summer.

He said what sometimes happens is a deal is done....so Man City might be offered a reduced 1 year ban if they take their medicine.

They asked him what he thinks will happen...he replied no idea because no one knows the detail of what Man City are suppose to have done.

and then Digitas!
 
Blades will finish 5th and qualify for Champions League and will await the draw for the group stages of the competition on August 27th.
Man Citeh's ban will be repealed by whoever on August 25th and they will be reinstated into the tournament, meaning Sheffield United are no longer eligible.

As the Europa league will already be well underway, there will be no way for the Blades to be demoted into that as it would be unfair on the fans of clubs who have worked so hard through the early rounds to get that far.

An apology and a few quid recovered from the back of Platini's couch the other year will be offered to Sheffield United.
 
I think Carragher made a good point about the current situation and the farce we could have. If the decision is that City breached the rules in a way that gets them an advantage (by paying big wages and making big signings) then why are they still eligible to win the trophy THIS season? They've already spent the money, and they've already got whatever advantage comes from that.

Or due to the Coronavirus all football is suspended.

This might well happen but also doesn't sound entirely fair either. Money talks I guess.

How is it unfair to fast track a case that affects as many teams as Champions League qualification does?
