Manchester United could in theory be reinstated to the Champions League after Fifa threatened to suspend Switzerland over the case involving Sion.
The Swiss FA has been given a deadline of 13 January to follow Fifa's instructions on the registration ban imposed on Sion or face a suspension which would also result in Basel being expelled from the Champions League. That could potentially see Sir Alex Ferguson's side back in the competition while another option could be that Bayern Munich, Basel's last-16 opponents, are given a bye.
Just like the draw united again will be handed a chance on a silver spoon. A joke this really for the competition and united who have to get back in this way rather than results. UEFA are dying to get united back into CL and it shows with this move all of a sudden. If they really had a problem with this they could have done something about it earlier but no they waited for United to get dumped out first. Ah well people can say City over pay for players but at least we don't get handed trophy opportunity on a silver spoon like this. Glad it's not City might like to point that out too as like with the Chelsea game I like results to be made on the field with goals not decisions by officials.
hope this doesn't happen as we don't deserve to be in there as we played sub-par in the tournament this season and Basel were the better team
false news
It all started because of El hadary and Ahly Club :(
probably not going to happen, which is probably for the best. it would be embarrassing getting this lifeline and then getting thumped by bayern after one match.
