They will undoubtedly appeal. I’d also not be surprised if they made a legal challenge outside of the CAS process, should that avenue prove to be unsuccessful. The entire premise of FFP could end up in the dock imo.

I reckon you might be right there, could definitely see them going after FFP.

It’s overdue imo. They’re making assumptions about the value of City’s sponsorships that I doubt would hold up in court, as there’s no way they can be definitive in their assumption that it’s falsely inflated. They’re just joining the dots.
 
Haha unlucky city but when you try to play the system and get caught you get punished.

Pep was part of the problem spending away like there was no tomorrow the bald headed cry baby

Oh well if it isnt appealed in time then at least they get to miss out a year :emoticon-0130-devil
 
Well no surprise I'm delighted by this news. Everyone knows that Manchester City bought themselves a league title in a manner that has never been known before. This didn't make them a great club it makes them a bunch of fooking cheats, that at last has come home to bite them. Good riddance to them.

Which in itself would cause a massive legal issue if they won the appeal after being excluded.

City will lawyer up, and let it be known that they fully intend taking the entire premise of FFP outside of the limits of sports arbitration imo.

A bit rich of a Chelsea fan crowing about FFP btw mate.

I knew this badboy was coming out. Not a surprise it was you first

Yeah but the new ffp rules have been in place for a while now and since then romans properly reined it in compared to what city have done.

Not only have city taken it to a new level they own about 5 other clubs that they buy players off cheaply and loan players to

It’s be done loads of times though, football has always been dictated by the chequebook going back throughout the history of the game.

In recent times in the top flight Blackburn bought the title, followed by Chelsea.

It happens at all levels of the game as well.

FFP was driven by the established CL clubs who didn’t like the idea of new faces gate crashing the party and shoving their noses out of the trough.

You were one of the examples of what FFP was brought in to stop ffs <laugh>

As for buying up youngsters and loaning them out all over the shop? Errrrmmm you’ve surely got to be taking the ****ing piss there like?
