Be much more entertaining if the spuds finish 5th and lose out tbh. For board purposes of course what we got 5 utd fans here?
the decision will be made before next season though .CAS don't mess around you just send your evidence in they look at it then have normally a one day hearing where lawyers can belt out their spiel then a bit later they announce their decision.
Thanks for that, I didn't know it was that quick tbh. I've not read much about this since the day it happened. Wouldn't it be better for City to appeal to UEFA first - firstly to drag it out and secondly because UEFA always cave in on every sanction they impose. Then if that doesn't work, go to CAS.
They already tried to take it to cas as it was still being investigated by uefa and were told that they'd have to wait til uefa ruled. Not sure that that says about anything but why would you appeal an investigation that hasn't even finished yet.
well they have already gone to CAS once who told them to get lost as they won't hear cases until the full judicial process of the sports body has been completed . It is now going to go to CAS as the EUFA process has completed .
OK but don't they have the right to appeal first with UEFA against their decision. Just makes sense to do that first
Well considering they called the uefa process unfair and prejudiced before it was done says they they dint have much faith in uefa
There's no chance CAS will turn the whole premise of FFP on its head surely? Also there's been nothing said by UEFA about 5th getting CL is there. That's just an assumption atm.
Yeh don't get me wrong, but the appeal process with UEFA would've carried them through to next season by which time they couldn't be booted out of the CL for that season.
If the CL spot doesn't go to 5th then they will have to give it to another country and we will have to "win" it back. If it does go to 5th then the EL places will have to be moved down too.
We've already suffered that kick to the bollocks before mate, when we got 4th but the Chavs got in ahead of us by winning the Europa cup. But, I'm sure you already knew that, what with your extensive footballing knowledge.
Yeh thats why it would be better than utd missing out mate, that and there's more spuds to rinse than utd lads on here. Its not personal bru
Fair enuff. Going for the max bantz factor, I get you. Just pray Pool don't tank next season then, even HiaG will come out of retirement for that.
Yes there is, it’s in the rules. If a club gets banned by UEFA and qualifies, then their place goes to the next league place down.
