Man City get a two year Champions League ban.

@RodionRomanovitch Good times for Liverpool get better and better. Will anyone be able to challenge them for the next few seasons?

@RodionRomanovitch In a sense it's a shame because I think it was a great rivalry ending too soon. But city deserve it.

@Burnley123 If Pep goes then they are in big trouble. No-one else is going to be coming close to us next year if that happens , and number 20 is almost guaranteed. (That'll give the other Mancs something to cry about.)

Happy days indeed.

@RodionRomanovitch lol. Well you've had to wait long enough. I don't even remember watching the last Liverpool title winning side.

City have one hope of retaining superclub status and that is to get the ban overturned. If not, they will lose pep and star players to emerge from the tunnel at Tottenham or arsenal level.

@Burnley123 They were never a superclub mate. You need a decent fanbase for that and they can't even sell out the Etihad a lot of the time.

Since 2008 their [b]net[/b] spend is £1.2 billion. That's double the next nearest (Real Madrid) and [b]four times [/b] what we spent.

Their success was bought , plain and simple.

(Incredibly Everton even make it into that list ! )

@RodionRomanovitch I think Real Madrid have a higher wage bill but yeah. Everyone knows where the money came from. If thr owners can no longer break the rules and they have no champions league revenue then there is no way they retain this level of team.
