The claim allegedly filed by Wolverhampton Wanderers
and seven other teams is not expected to affect the Manchester City case before
the Sports Arbitral Tribunal (CAS).
This is the opinion of a leading sports law expert,
who says that Man City rivals are more eager to send a message than to have an impact
on their impending case. Fans from around the world can purchase Champion League Final Tickets

Man City can’t play in Champions League while their cases were heard |
City received a two-year ban from European competitions earlier this year after breaking UEFA's financial fair play (FFP) rules.
The Etihad bosses have appealed this suspension and
their case will be heard by the CAS before the start of competition next
season.
And now, a Daily Mail report claimed that eight of
the top ten in the Premier League had submitted their request to the CAS,
asking City not to be allowed into the Champions League while their cases were
heard.
The staggering claims indicate that except Sheffield
U
nited and City themselves, all of the top ten have come together to make their
case. However, Man City did not request a “stay” for their sentence, which
would mean that their sentence would be frozen until the end of the appeal.
It is alleged that even if City requested a “stay”,
the CAS would ignore the request made by its domestic competitors.
Jack Anderson, a professor of sports law at the
University of Melbourne, told the Manchester Evening News: The city has not
asked for a stay and, generally speaking, CAS is unlikely to take it into
account.
It will be up to Manchester City to advocate for a
stay rather than being swayed by what others may or may not think about it. If
City wants a stay, they must do so and whether they deserve it or not under the
circumstances.
What is interesting is its non-legal aspect. It is
clear that the others are not satisfied with what City is doing and that City
is more or less alone. It is more symbolic of who is behind it than for the
impact it will have, it is the simplest way of saying it.
It certainly clarifies what other clubs are thinking.
Usually, in these cases, the other clubs say very little because you never know
which side the FFP will fall on.
They are so motivated by it that they have concluded
a collective agreement. It's a bit like in rugby with the Saracens and the
salary cap, one or two clubs were very angry but the others said nothing.
