Greg Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Man City statement "Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by todayâs announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber. The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position. In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver. The Club has formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling.  Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity."

Stifler Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Assuming the champions league place passes down does that mean Sheffield United are on for a Champions League spot? Imagine how bad theyâll fume at this when they get 5th spit, a place in the Champions League, and lose it to Man Cityâs appeal. Two teams who have not played by the rules and screwed Sheffield United each time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Instead of banning clubs trying to win stuff, I wish theyâd ban clubs where the owners do the opposite and just try and exist (like us). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 UEFA playing a dangerous game with this City will throw as much money as necessary through as many courts as it takes to fight this and if UEFA lose it basically discredits ffp as a thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The theory of ffp is fine the reality is its designed to prevent the old money of europe bring knocked off their perch.

Itâs also not guaranteed they wouldnât have been able to do it without Sheikh Mansour. Donât get me wrong they wouldnât have dominated in the way they have, but they have always been a big club, with good owners theyâd have been capable of challenging For Champions league spots. I mean Leicester have done it with fewer means at their disposal. With average /forward thinking owners we would have too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youâd get the odd âblipâ every 25 years maybe but ultimately weâd be sitting watching the same clubs winning everything over and over. UEFA created this beast with the Champions League (clearly to favour and protect the elite), so when an entity like Man City comes along and upset the apple cart, they donât like it.

Without the sheikh cash what would have happened is the moment city even got close to cl places the rich clubs pick apart the team like vultures.
