Manchester City banned from the UCL for next two seasons
City banned from the UCL for the next two seasons. City will appeal.
But is this the first time UEFA imposed FFP penalties with any teeth?
If the penalty holds up, what happens, the #5 club in the EPL plays in the UCL if MC makes the top 4 in the next two seasons?
Which MC stars are going to bail?
Is Guardiola going to stick around?

the team finishing fifth in this year's Premier League will get a spot in the Champions League (assuming City finish in the top four). Right now, that team is Sheffield United, which would be quite the story.
Apart from the €30m ($32.5m) fine, they'll be without Champions League revenue for two seasons. That always depends on how far they advance, of course, but considering they made €93m ($100m) last season and prize money has gone up, you'd imagine it will be around $200m or more. Throw in the loss of gate receipts and reduced exposure hurting sponsorship deals (some contracts automatically get reduced if you don't qualify for the Champions League) and the total could easily be north of $300m. That's more than 25 percent of what the club's likely revenue is going to be across those two seasons.
If you're making 25 percent less money, you will need to cut costs accordingly. And that might mean sacrificing some players. Then there's the evident fact that some players may wish to move because they don't want to go two years without Champions League football. That applies to the manager, Pep Guardiola, as well. He talked this week about how badly he wants to win his third Champions League.
If this holds up, Pep is all but gone at season's end.

I'd imagine a guy like De Bruyne will try to force a move to either Real or Barca in the offseason.
Sane probably looking for a move to Bayern - but it remains to be seen whether Bayern is even interested given his injury history.

Didn't Mahrez say that he' wasted 2 years playing at Leicester.

Not been announced , people were talking about the end of March but that was speculation.
CAS seems to understand that some cases have timing elements involved and do their best to expedite them so it should be reasonably soon

Hopefully we won't be disappointed by the judgement.

City is a big name team but if they get banned, then currently that improves Man U's chances of qualifying for CL. Man U is as big a draw as City isn't it?
Or further down the table you have Tottenham.
Leicester City is #4 and Wolves are #6 and Sheffield U are #7. Those aren't as big a draws.
BTW I haven't been watching enough I guess, those teams are a total surprise to me, that they're vying for the CL.
Maybe those teams are more deserving than City, even if they're not the big name teams, maybe won't bring too many fans to European venues like the big-name clubs.
But maybe with the pandemic, that doesn't matter as much since there isn't going to be fans at matches for awhile.

No Ban.
10m fine. Which is nothing for the owners. They couldn't even buy a player to make their squad for that. FFP rules may as well be binned. It's only poor teams who have to follow them.
CAS have just confirmed that football is a closed shop run by the rich.

Disappointing day for the world of soccer, the uefa and the ffp.
Could be worse in next the two years, if City win the cl.

It just shows the corruption throughout football.
Set up your closed European elite league without relegation and perhaps the rest of us can get back to true football.
