Yeah you are.
But who stopped you from winning the PL last season in spite of your record points haul?

Get rid of City and the territory would be yours for the immediate future.

How's this described in law where a group of clubs are trying to interfare/influence the outcome of a judicial process?

So why did Liverpool send a letter then if you have nothing to gain?

Your aim is to cause damage to City.

And looking back now, I wish City took a harder stance against your club for the criminal hacking of our scouting database.

And how has this so called cheating affected your club?
Also, do you realise this case relates to 2014?

We're the only team that can mathematically catch Liverpool.

Pretty desperate tactics but not not totally unexpected.

Follow the rules and this doesn't happen. Simple really.

If all the other clubs have been playing by the rules and City haven't why should they sit back and just say that it's okay?

We do follow the rules. Unlike your club that's actually broken so many rules within the past 5 years.

Martin Samuel

Couldn't they have just watched a box set or something? No, instead, to pass the time while in lockdown, the Premier League's biggest clubs, plus some who think they should be, and a sprinkling of opportunistic hangers-on, have composed a missive that seeks to shape the coronavirus crisis to their own self-serving ends.

It seeks to sweep away due process and place unnecessary pressure on the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Obviously, they think there's a few quid in it.

The top 10 — bar Sheffield United, and good for them — seek to ban Manchester City from Europe next season, regardless of the state of their appeal against a UEFA-imposed sanction.

Rivals are trying to exploit coronavirus pandemic to ensure Man City are banned from Europe

For obvious reasons, this process has been delayed. The coronavirus outbreak has led to the suspension of business at CAS with Manchester City and UEFA warned of an inevitable backlog when the court resumes.

It could be that the appeal is not heard before the 2020-21 Champions League campaign begins. Not that anyone has the first clue when that will be; even UEFA.

No matter, because the grasping Premier League clubs want City out anyway. It is the most shameful power play and will, it is hoped, be treated with the contempt it deserves.t

The letter presumes City have been seeking to delay the process in order to gain entry next season. Actually, they haven't. There has been no request for a stay of execution. Indeed, it was City's desire to have the CAS hearing as soon as possible.

Why? Well, the wider world may not agree, but Manchester City's executives think they will win at CAS. Their view is that a drawn-out process, one that dragged through the summer, would make it hard to plan for next season.

What could they tell players about the short-term future, what project could they sell to transfer targets? City did not drag their feet submitting the appeal at all.

Pep Guardiola's side appealed their two-year ban and are still awaiting their hearing with CAS

Of course, if CAS simply couldn't deal with the legal challenge in time for the next Champions League campaign circumstances may change.

Yet it is unlikely UEFA would be happy excluding City from Europe before an appeal is heard, either, as it could lead to a substantial legal claim for loss of earnings if CAS did not side with the governing body.

So this is a letter to prevent a play that has not been made, to override the right to an appeal that has been the subject of force majeure, exploiting a global pandemic for selfish ends.

Don't these people ever take a day off?

Do you want natural justice to take it's course or should this be abandoned just because it's City?
Playing by the rules is actually what got us into trouble.
Next time, we shoiuld adopt the Liverpool play book on avoiding FFP sanction.

Sounds like Liverpool took whatever punishment they were given and moved on. Why can't City?

The same Der Spiegel leaked emails exposed United paying £7m for a friendly that never took place in return for certain favours.
Now that's akin to bribery in my books. But it's not City so no one is interested.

Hopefully this will defunct City and United can inherit the council stadium and rent it out to whoever, extra money for signings.

We took the punishment given as well.
Fined £49m and had our CL squad squashed.
Why go back to that same case just because of some leaked emails? It's not like City had another breach.

People have a lot of time on their hands while in isolation, got to keep yourself busy. Although I’m not sure why it matters to the 8 clubs mentioned in the article, even without coronavirus none of them would be playing in the Champions League 😂

We were punished for all these things. Doesn’t change anything City did or the punishment they deserve.
