    Don't know why they were favourites for 4th
    Reality is that LaLiga obviously have some great sides in depth so I thought they were my favourite to go through in this group

    Since when does La Liga have more than 3 teams?

    Look at the Copa Del Rey. Yes Valencia won it last year (they sacked Marcelino hence the favourite for 4th) but before then the last time someone outside of the big 3 won it was 09/10.

    For all those playing at home. No, City won't be banned from the UCL.

    Yes. The evidence is already flimsy and the presidents have all been to drop the sentences down to a fine. Other than Milan who chose to skip the UEL for a season.

    UEFA are really piss poor with enforcing their punishments.
    Do they not receive good legal advice? I’d love to see some stats on how often their punishments/fines/transfer bans have been upheld.

    Financial Fair Play is poorly defined, poorly regulated and poorly punished.

    Probably the most noticeable problem is the effect it will have on Pep

    Other than winning the UCL he already done it all at City

    Surprised if no UCL football or a transfer ban may see him leave for elsewhere

    Also lets remember that thanks to this ban no teams from Manchester will be playing in the UCL to 2022

    perhap Stanny is asking what happens to England's four places if City finish in the top 4

    in which case it will go to the 5th place team

    which is currently Sheffield United, who were promoted last year

    so the English spots in the 20/21 Champions League would go to (on current table positions), Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea and Sheffield United

    I don't think anyone would have picked that at the start of the season

    It gets better. City possibly face expulsion back to League 2 and a deduction of points for this season.

    I don’t think pep is seeing out another year at city.
    If he wins UCL he leaves having achieved everything he wanted to.
    If he doesn’t, then city will have deemed to have failed. No EPL no UCL.
    And I think he’ll be after a new challenge.


    No UCL could be the scapegoat pep and city need to part ways.


    But seriously, what’re the chances this sticks? Every verdict handed down from uefa gets overturned or reduced.

    That rule isn't for the EPL, lower league only. But they could get a small points deduction this season.

    There's little chance this gets sorted by the end of the season, so I can't the punishment coming into affect next season even if it does stick.

    But overall, I don't see them actually getting banned.
