    UEFA have banned more clubs from the CL and Europe cup. The most high profile team being FK Crvena Zvezda a former winner and a ground I visited not so long ago for a CL game myself.

    Also excluded for the moment but with the right of appeal in the Europa cup are a few Turkish clubs. Ironically the clubs below them in the Turkish league are also excluded due to match fixing and those below them dont have a UEFA licence.

    What's the knock-on effect to the other teams in the competition, if there are no teams from Turkey in the Europa League? Will everyone below be bumped up a place? Or will they have the draw as normal and give byes to teams that would otherwise have drawn them?

    So a team that has actually won the competition and has a history in it, Crvena Zvezda, get banned but City and PSG, who have neither, don't?

    Makes a mockery of Platini saying a few years back he wanted a more inclusive competition with the old Eastern European heavyweights back in the competition.

    Really hope there are more bans and it works in favour of the LOI teams . There was a team that made it in to the Europa league a couple of seasons back as one of the Turkish teams were banned.

    Wait till ye hear this
    Boost for Man City: UEFA gen sec has confirmed to me FFP rule-breakers City/PSG will only need 5 home-grown players in 21-man CL squad not 8

    Softening what was already a very soft punishment.

    Not that I think the FFP rules are going to be effective, but aren't people comparing apples to oranges when comparing City and PSG's punishments to these ones. Aren't the Turkish team banned for not paying bills/debts? That's rather more serious than what PSG and City were punished for.

    Exactly. Same as Malaga last season, before FFP was in place.

    The reducement of home grown players renders the ban pretty useless to be honest.

    The Turkish teams were banned for fixing games. Red Star were banned for not paying money owed. A complaint was made to UEFA.
