City banned from UCL

[Football Chap]

How much did we get for making the final?

I believe it was just over €100m. Prize money weirdly scales off your coefficient too so at the quarter final stage last season united had earned about €94m while we only earned €86m at that stage. UEFA trying to keep the likes of united, real madrid at the top sort of thing.

Well, that’s assuming that UEFA actually want to win it. I’m very sceptical about this sort of stuff. Best case at the moment is they miss out next season. No way will it be two.

I can totally see UEFA only wanting one year originally but going for two because they know that CAS will cut it in half at the appeal.

Imagine it is actually two though, it will ruin them for a long time. 200 mill on income, sponsors that will pull out, players and the manager will be calling their agents tonight just in case.

It will go to whoever finishes 5th. And the Europa League spots will slide down to 6th and below.

Perhaps but it's by no means certain.

players won’t give a fuck about champions league. They just want the wages.

Blue Moon is hilarious right now.

 

[Raiders]

They committed fraud on a massive scale to gain an advantage, Fuckers deserve it.

So just the £2.7 bn...……..

Can CAS ignore that ?

They ignore the £1.4 billion blood money the russian has injected into the small club fulham

This has been public knowledge for years, I don't know why it was allowed for so long. They cheated.

Awesome to see this, but I seriously doubt it will stand, no doubt in my mind that Oil City have someone at the Court of Arbitration for Sport who will either reduce, suspend or quash the ban completely.

Or pay them off !

As long as the ban is upheld it will. There is precedent set from when Milan got locked out of Europe.

Don’t agree with that, super stars want to play in the CL. They could earn the same wages somewhere else playing in the CL.

Very true. That’s why I can’t see it sticking.

PSG next please. They’re even more ridiculous.

 

[Raiders]

I don't want to trawl through hundreds of comments on bluemoon from fans who believe the world is against them - they won 3 trophies year. Is there anyone who actually has some sanity to acknowledge their owners may have committed fraud?

 

[paddy spur]

There sould be a sense of jeopardy when you apeal. If the appeal is unsuccessful chuck another year on it.

[Brian Fantana]

Seems the premier league is investigating them too

 

[Wellsey]

Exactly PSG have been taking the piss lately

Sweet, that means if we have a good couple of months we could potentially sneak in to the Europa spots!

 

[Raiders]

I had to read through bluemoon. They are the most disgusting set of fans I have ever witnessed, all morality is out of the window, no self awareness about how they are the baddies, calling for dirty tactics and for a separate league.
The good thing is that all their winnings are tainted now. It will be so easy to wind them up.
