Man u always get shit handed to them this will be a joke if they get back in they should kick the team out and let the team they got in the last 16 a pass or something anything but the scum getting back in

I blame United for the sheer luck given to them, but I don't blame them because of the situation, I blame the Swiss FA for being twats because of their reason to uphold their ban on Sion, when they were clearly in the wrong for fielding inelligable players against Celtic in the Europa League. I believe the Swiss FA need to pull their finger out, do the right thing, and ban them, unless they want to see Basel kicked out of Europe as well.

And we all know how big of twats the associates at UEFA are... "Mr Platini"

Very harsh on Basel though seeing as they did enough to get through and being punished for another teams fuck up

Switzerland will not risk Basel's Champions League place for this.

FC Sion 36-point penalty ends Man Utd hopes of European reprieve

Sion beat Celtic in Europa League qualifying but were then thrown out

FC Sion have been deducted 36 points by the Swiss Football Association (SFV) for fielding ineligible players.

The club had been adjudged to have fielded six ineligible players signed during a transfer embargo.

Subsequently, Fifa had threatened to suspend the Swiss national side and the country's club sides from all competitions if Sion were not punished.

This could have meant FC Basel being ejected from the Champions League and Manchester United reinstated.

The Swiss champions knocked Sir Alex Ferguson's side out of European football's elite competition and into the Europa League, but could have fallen foul of Fifa's sanction had the SFV not moved to punish Sion.
