    He'd be more likely to come to Sheffield Utd than Manchester Utd after we beat them to the last Champions league spot
    Obviously we can't actually afford him and don't use wingers so moot point.

    Tbh the lads only 19. BvB are a great club that play in a good league and UCL. I don't know why he'd be in a rush to make a sideways (at best) move to the Premier League club right away, with how much of a career he has ahead of him.

    But of course a career can end any second so it's perhaps better to milk a club like United for every penny now while you can. Difficult decision either way.

    Well ye i wouldn't choose United over Dortmund either, but if he is leaving to go back to England i doubt he will join Liverpool or City

    You don't think he will join bigger clubs with better managers and a brighter future? Why is that?

    He's got more chance of coming to join his best friend Reiss Nelson at Arsenal mate.

    You would have to question the ambition of any player who wants to play under OGS.

    Also, Sancho was a Chelsea fan as a youngster + his idols were Frank and Drogs. He's been twerking for us since last summer.

    What's the attraction to playing in the dead rubber club Chelsea? Living in London to get acid attacked? Getting chess lessons from Frank?

    The owner has alt tabbed out and is living it up with Israeli supermodels

    Remember the "no using tragedies for point scoring" rule?

    Ohh City banned by UEFA from all european football for 2 seasons and fined 30 million euros for breaking the financial fair play rules. Really nice to see that UEFA are really cracking down on the rules for once.

    City will appeal it i'm guessing, but hope UEFA dont cave in!

    Holy shittttt

    I'm sure Manchester City have enough money to buy their way out of this ruling

    They will appeal and it will be reduced with 1 year. I expect City to be out of CL 20/21 and back 21/22.

    This can potentially be a HUGE hit for City. Might lose players & Pep. What then?

    Ye i'm guessing that UEFA have some pretty solid evidence since the penalty and fine are so high so doubt that an appeal will help much. Maybe postpone it by a year?

    If they had the money, they could've surely prevented this ruling to begin with.

    edit: Holy shit so 5th place will get CL? Damn.

    Looks like Champions League football is back on the menu for United!





    Sheffield United that is.

    If City successfully appeal this then FFP is finished.

    If they appeal this, then club spending is about to go through the roof. In before someone goes for £500 mil next summer.

    Their biggest complaint has always been that it's all done by the UEFA and that they "oh so desperately" need a third party to do investigations (so that they can influence it). They want to make them look like the antagonist.

    I expect the appeal to go nowhere as the UEFA is perfectly within their right to sanction them if they have irrefutable evidence (the overstatement of their sponsorship money and the incorrect break-even info).
