That’s a good read. 
 

cant believe the premier league will do much if anything. The fa will bury their head and pretend nothing happens.

 

i can imagine city taking all the hits next season - 40 point deduction, transfer ban and European ban - then back to normal season after. 

Although the FA did take action against John Terry when the CPS didn't.

I can't imagine any points deduction in PL at all. Was there any points deduction for newly promoted clubs like QPR, Bournemouth or Leicester that broke EFL FFP rules? Of course not cause PL is a different entity with the main rule "you can do whatever you want". 

Just hope CAS upholding their 2 years ban from UEFA competitions.  

I guess it depends how influenced the Premier league is by its constituent members. I imagine there are 19 clubs who would like to see city punished, and all the big ones vehemently so.

I read that UEFA asked for the result to be delayed from today to Monday so that it doesn't distract from the CL draw.

You would have to suspect the parties know the result by now or will find out today.

What CL draw?  Just give it to Atalanta no one is arsed.

Probably BS, but I'm taking this as a sign that it will be bad news for city

If the ban is upheld I might even go on bluemoon

I would think more likely to be good news. UEFA less likely to want to be asked loads of questions about how they lost at the draw?

it will be our fault or they will ramp up the talk of us hacking their computers to vent their hatred in our direction even more than it already is.

Got done by this in a reds WhatsApp group...! Didn't think the presumed Pep leaving was beyond happening though..

I like the way a fella called Ian who also happens to be a City fan is getting word on a court ruling from Switzerland.

[Jarg Armani]

That is blates gonna be the decision mind you 

[Hightown Phil]

Do you reckon he's just based it on this?

[Cobs]

they were originally found guilty on 2 counts

1 - falsely inflating sponsorship revenues

2 -failing to co-operate into the investigation of 1

 

they might be exonerated of the 1st one - even though they're as guilty as f***

not sure how they wriggle out of the second

I doubt any of the lawyers would be brave enough to tell the sheikh that they might not win

I am not expecting anything less... 

The s*** that goes on behind the scenes with them must be dodgy as f***... Bet Aguero is on 500k per week

They were telling people they'd escaped sanctions and got a two year ban a couple of days later.

City winning their appeal and united finishing 4th is a pretty s***ty outcome
