Zatman Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 22 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: I think it's fairly common for this kind of thing to be appealed and punishments reduced. I'd be very surprised if City managed to get off completely though. I think City and PSG already got squad reductions to 21 players. Not really sure what else UEFA can throw at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 D Silva, Aguero and Sterling on the bench in Madrid so likely to start on Sunday. The squad depth they boast is absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 1-0 to Real and Sterling’s on. Be a shame if he stubbed his toe and had to sit Sunday out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 17 hours ago, Genie said: Good points. I can't see UEFA going back on their own ban. I'm interested to know what angle Man City are taking for their defence. From what has been revealed it seems to be pretty cut and dried that they broke the rules. Maybe they will appeal that the punishment is excessive? Apparently there are a few angles. One is they are arguing they didn’t break the rules. They say that they have valued all sponsorship deals correctly and therefore haven’t breached any rules. It comes down to some hacked emails, which city state have been taken out of context. There is a second part of the charge is that they failed to disclose information, this is probably harder to defend, but I think the argument here is that they would’ve provided to an independent review not UEFA, which may not stand up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted February 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2020 Well that didn't end well. Classic Ramos though. Hopefully Laporte is injured for Sunday at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugzy1991 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Recent pep interview about how it's fine margins between teams just shuts up nearly 99% of fans on fan forums. Especially journalists. Just goes to show how far behind fans are when it comes to football IQ, stats and everything.
