A utterly unsurprising decision and and one that sets a precedent.

Precedents were set years ago Den, if you're a club that can afford better lawyers than the football authorities, you'll get away with it.

Football Integrity :rofl:

Then perhaps get rid of the governing body and replace it with a new one that stands its ground and applies the rules without backtracking all the time.

Quite agree, as do probably many others. If only it was that easy though :(

So their "penalty" is to be allowed to earn an extra £150-200m.:confused:

The reality is if City had a two-year ban, they would have been looking at somewhere between £150-200m of lost prize money through the Champions League.

It was UEFA that tried to impose a ban, it was CAS(Court of Arbitration for Sport ) that overturned it.

With Fulham drawing with WBA, they no longer challenge Leeds for promotion (Fulham are 7 points behind Leeds, and they only have 2 matches to play).

Brentford are 6 points behind Leeds with a better goal difference, but like Leeds, have 3 matches left.

Nailbiting stuff.

l hope Leeds go up personally even though my late friend if he heard me saying that would tut tut at me if he heard that as he was a Bradford fan.:)

We (my wife and I) have bets each year on promotion & relegation from the championship (only).

For the record, Notts County do have a good chance in the play-offs.

Thanks for the info Den, but I don't think I'll bother putting any offers in this time around :D
