I may be wrong but will stand corrected if someone knows differently but I think that Eufa and the FA have to endorse any teams entering European competitions . if that is the case they may well be barred from entering European competitions until such times as the FA and EURO say " ok you can enter our club " so to speak . And so even if winning their case they may still not be allowed to play these competitions until the powers that be deem they are proper and fit . At least I hope this is the case the cheating B......s
Furthermore, all this talk of law. There is no law as such. UEFA is a private club, just like your local golf or social club, and can set its own rules and police them. As I understand it sporting authorities voluntarily agree to be bound by CAS. It's a voluntary disputes and appeals system. Sure City will hire lawyers to make arguments, but it's got nothing to do with UK law, or EU law. Just whether UEFA has fairly applied its own rules
