    A stange situation..



    Manchester United could return to this season's Champions League if the Swiss Football Association fails to comply with Fifa and punish FC Sion.

    Sion were thrown out of the Europa League for fielding ineligible players in their match against Celtic.

    The Swiss FA has until 13 January to act and Fifa has threatened to suspend Switzerland and their club sides.

    If the ban took effect, FC Basel would be ejected from the Champions League and United could be reinstated.

    The Swiss champions knocked Sir Alex Ferguson's side out of European football's elite competition and into the Europa League, earning a 3-3 draw at Old Trafford before winning the home match 2-1.

    Seems fair enough, Man Utd rarely get the lucky breaks ...

    Very strange indeed. Why would FIFA have to stick their beaks in?

    It's a UEFA ran competition.

    That wouldn't be FIFA looking after the big sides again would it?

    Not really. I think it's more a case of Eufa and Platini not doing their jobs correctly. But then what can you expect.:emoticon-0116-evilg

    Well Platini will not let this happen, but if it does come off does it count as the ultimate injury (or Fergie) time turnaround?
