Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

PSG, Real, Barcelona, Juventus immediately spring to mind ?

Still waiting for the verdict on PSG arent they ? Wouldn’t surprise me to see it being the same.

Obviously juve were relegated for their punishment

It’s Barce and Real that will continue to get away with it

Bob Paisley, ex Durham Pitman and Liverpool manager visiting Hetton Le Hole in 1977.

That was on a pits and collieries site am on.

Yes they do deserve it .
But it’s a bit suspicious that no other club has ever broke these rules.?

Having a read on some of the City sites. Loads to quote but a couple that made me chuckle.

The sanctions that have been applied to City were from a committee set up by Michael Platini to stop corruption. What happened to Platini.
The charges come from when der Spiegel printed “ illegally hacked” information from City.

Think it’s fair to say that City for loads of reasons ( some of which are rammel) don’t love or like the Champs league in the same way that Utd and Liverpool do. In all honesty Ave done a couple of champs league nights and they have been either fantastic or had the same atmosphere as a midweek league cup game.
quite looking forward to seeing how this one pans out.

So does 5th place qualify for the CL?

If so, we might have to put a couple of extra tiers on the stands at Bramall Lane this summer!

Not really bothered by who did what .
But it’s not good when it’s overlooked at some clubs but not others.
It’s Laughable that this can happen in plain sight.

Seems that Prem Lge have the same level of rules so they will also have to act now as well

that assumes they interpret it the same, cant see them doing a thing until the appeal has been heard, if at all

i don’t think anyone is saying he’ll be sacked. It’s more that he will want to leave. The CL is what he wants to win. PSG or Juve to continue his “legacy“ of collected easy trophies.

Will surely be PSG seeing as Inter are challenging Juve; and even Bayern have serious challengers in Germany!! ?

It's a points dedication in the league isn't it? Unless it's best part of 40 points which it won't be, then what difference will it make when their league position can't earn the CL footy.

Guess depends on if they look at a punishement for each year - Rugby bosses were praised for the way they dealt with Saracens - maybe now Football bosses are catching up ?

thats one perspective, plenty of other opinions on how they (mis)handled the issue too

It will go through the CAS and I imagine the sanction will sit for the start of next season but I imagine there is still going to be arguments and issues around this and I am really hope Barca and Real finally get called to account along with PSG.
loo
On the plus side, a season without any distractions could be a real benefit and City can focus purely and simply on the PL and really look to take the title back off Liverpool. I think this has a long way to run

This investigation has taken 3yrs, I’m pretty certain UEFA will have ticked every box to make sure this is bullet proof.I will be very surprised if this ban gets overturned.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Do they have same criteria?



how much is two years of CL worth? Clubs are allowed a percentage of external investment aren’t they. It’s the massive amounts they had previously that caused it.
Some of their biggest investors are basically the owners companies. They won’t have a non cl qualification punishment I imagine. So that’ll help.

I’d expect so, though looking at the way VAR is being used I wouldn’t hold my breath!!

Never knew you could be offside from a corner, glad VAR has been brought in to show us that.

Only saw it briefly, was it not a short corner and the offside came from that? You can't be offside directly from a corner.

I saw it there and then again when I got home, I'm still baffled by it.

I've watched it again and it was directly from the corner.

I've seen the pictures and lines this morning and it's another nonsense one. It's yet another decision that brings VAR into disrepute.

When we know that 5th place could now give a CL place decisions like that have huge consequences.

I've watched it again and it was directly from the corner.

I'm only going off what is shown on the web this morning. If you Google it all the pictures and lines being shown are 1m-2m from the goal line. That wouldn't be the case if it was direct from the corner. Saying all that, I didn't watch it last night, haven't heard explanations so I could well be wrong.
