Anyone thinking Citeh will be deducted points before the European places are decided and hoping weāll benefit by taking a Europa place for next season is delusional imo.Time for the result of the case to be announced.
The announcement can no longer affect league results, so no reason to delay.
And unless they get a points deduction, Villa will miss out on CL football. They need to make the announcement now, so that teams can celebrate/commiserate where they've finished.

IF Any decision is forthcoming before the end of the season
it will be immediately appealed and punishment will be pending outcome of those appeals which could take months.
So who won the Conference league and Champions League final? I must have missed that.The European places have been decided.
pedantry - it ended a few hours ago but as I said, European places for next season are still to be finalised.The PL season has already ended.
Everton and Forest had one or two simple recent charges and admitted their guilt. Man Citeh is protesting against 115 complex charges breaching FFP rules over a 9 year period dating back to 2009 - The Citeh investigation has been going on 6 years.Forest and Everton got deducted points, they appealed, and the decision was fairly quick.

Citeh was barred from European football in 2020 for 2 years when UEFA found them guilty of breaching the FFP rules and they had also had a ā¬30m fine if I recall.
After appeal, CAS overturned the UEFA decision and the Court reversed the ban and reduced the fine to ā¬10m.
It took from February 2020 until July 2020 (6 months) for that final decision to go through the legal appeals process. When a team contests the charges, and the punishments, appeals take months.

European places havenāt already been decided. I wasnāt referring to Premier League places per se - UEFA need to finalise all teams for next year not just those earned by Premier League qualification

no it was meant as a friendly sarcastic joke - thatās what the laughing emoji was forWhy are you laughing? Are you trying to be smug and clever?

We havenāt yet had the Conference League or Championship finals - who plays in Europe next year will not be decided until both those finals are over.
UEFA concerns itself with all competitors in Europe next season - not just EPL placed qualifiers
Not true - the reason a decision about what sanctions will apply hasnāt been made before now is because Man City have been denying the charges. This process has been going on for 6 years.
I canāt see an appeal to any decision about Man City coming within that time so IMO itās more likely it will impact 2026/27 than next season which was the point I was making.
You are also assuming that if City do have points deducted then their place bounced down the table - thatās not necessarily the case.
A dullard has stated Man City will not be able to appeal.I don't get it
That's incorrect. The two CL finalist are in the CL next season already, as are Chelsea. Real Betis are already in the Europa League, so that result doesn't matter either. It's all decided.
The case is between the PL and Man City, it's not UEFA. And also, as above, the places are decided.
No, that's incorrect. There has been a court case and the case has finished. At some point, the result of that case will be announced. They're not going to 'never announce it' simply because Man City deny the charges.
We don't know whether they'll be found guilty, whether they'll appeal, or how long such an appeal could take. But it we could get the decision pretty soon.
No, their place in Europe wouldn't be bounces down the table, City would be bounced down the table, and other teams would finish one place higher.
I've just mentioned this to Fab...A dullard has stated Man City will not be able to appeal.
I don't get it

If it annoys you, try some gardening to clear you mind.This "Citeh" thing is a bit annoying.
Again misinterpreted my post - I was talking about Man City bouncing down several (out?) places in the PL table NOT their CL place bouncing down - clearly not making myself clear again![]()
Honestly, just let it go - you are like a dog with a bone and as I have said, we were talking about different things an
nd you keep creating straw arguments with what I write
I also didnāt say the case was between UEFA and City, I was only referring to the charges bought by UEFA in 2020 to demonstrate how City successfully appealed against punishments and how long the appeal took
I really donāt think Man City will be forfeiting their European place any time soon (if ever) based on the outcome of previous charges
Iām trying say (but you seem not to want to hear it) that how this seasonās qualifiers are impacted, if at all, will depend on when the decision is made - if City lose their right to continue with a European campaign, depending on when that decision is made, then, no, their CL place wonāt necessarily be available to the next qualifier - the EPL could just end up with one less CL team competing in Europe and/or any points deduction could be deferred to next seasonās PL points so wonāt impact on any chance we had/have of getting into Europe this season.You said "You are also assuming that if City do have points deducted then their place bounced down the table - thatās not necessarily the case." So you're suggesting that it's possible that City go down (or out of) the league, and no one else gets their CL place. I don't see how no one else would get their place, so I'm disagreeing with you.

As for my comments re Europe - I was referring to other top flight Associationsā with teams in qualifying positions - they will have teams which remain undecided until the outcome of whoever wins Champions/Conference places.
You seem like you need a big AFFIRMATION for being so clever, so I give you a big CYBERHUG and![]()
