Manchester City 2 year Ban lifted!!!

-
The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has lifted the two year ban imposed on Manchester City by UEFA. Following the hearing , the CAS panel concluded that the decision issued on 14th February 2020 by UEFA should be set aside and replaced by the following:
a) Man City has contravened Article 56 of the club licensing and Financial fair play regulation
s.
b)Man City shall pay a fine of EUR 10,000,000 to UEFA within 30 days from the date of the issuance of the arbitral award.
The judgement has been reduced as some of the allegations by UEFA could not be substantiated.
The banning of the club from all UEFA competitions was held not to be appropriate for Man city's failure to cooperate with investigators.
These news comes as a relief to Man City fans and the stakeholders in the club.

UEFA has banned Manchester City from participating in the Champions League and all its competitions for 2 years over financial fair play issues.The club believes the investigation was flawed and UEFA were out to get them from the start by acting as judge,jury and executioner.Man City can appeal the decision to Court of Arbitration of Sports (which has power to confirm the ban,reduce the penalties or send it back to CFCB) or go to the courts in Switzerland.The Swiss Supreme Court has the power to confirm or alter the ban.

We will notify you in case of any developments.

Jurgen Klopp said this about the game,"I am completely happy with the perfomance.It is so difficult to play a side like this."Klopp added he was "searching for the right words." I don't understand with the quality they have the football they play.They could play proper football but they stand deep and play counter attacks.We accept it,of course ,but it doesn't feel right tonight.I realise am really a bad loser,especially when the boys put such an effort against such world class players on the other side who defend in two rows of four.We know in the past two years we have had some lucky moments in the Champions League-you...
