Sion Thrown Out Of Europe?

So we find out at 4pm today?

 

Good point, they say hey Celtic is a high profile team, but they cant beat a mid table Swiss team.

 

Fair enough buddy, hope you are right. Cant see it though

 

To find a way for Sion to be kept in would set too bad a precedent. Cheat, and we will only ban you next season.

Theoretically Sion could win the Europa league this season and every team that they beat a long the way could open up a case against UEFA/Sion.

 

Thing is we got royally pumped by Sion, it's hard to argue that they're a weaker opponent. Big Dan and injuries aside.

 

Well the 4th seed did beat the 2nd seed. So on paper it actually is fair if we get reinstated.

 

Great mins think alike! :icon_mrgreen:

 

Think so too. It's not like Celtic were a pot 2 team from the likes of Borussia Dortmund or Fiorentina, who would be reintroduced and might dominate the group stage.

 

There players werent allowed to play for sion as sion got banned from buying players,sion still went out and bought players even though they were warned not too and they played they players over the 2 legs agaist us so basicaly FC Sion are the bosses in this case bollocks as uefa can be ruthless and SION WILL KICK KICKED OUT TODAY!! but sion will have 3 days to appeal but they WILL APPEAL!

BYE,BYE FC SION,naeh luck CHEATS!!

SION OUT CELTIC IN

 

I like your positivity mike

 

Lawwell makes a good point:

Celtic hope that UEFA's decisions to expel two clubs - Olympiakos Volou and Fenerbahce - from European football this season is a sign of zero tolerance in Nyon.
'No, they're not afraid (to take action),' added Lawwell.
'They'll keep to the rules. If somebody breaks the rules, they should pay the price.

UEFA are not afaid to throw ppl out if found guilty

 

When does this happen today?

 

Today at 16:00 GMT.

ASE FC SION / EL-HADARY / FIFA / AL-AHLY SPORTING CLUB :
THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT (CAS) REDUCES THE
FINANCIAL COMPENSATION DUE TO THE EGYPTIAN CLUB
​

Lausanne, 1 June 2010 ​

​

- The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rendered its final decision in the arbitration between FC Sion (Switzerland), the Egyptian football player Essam El-Hadary, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the Egyptian
football club Al-Ahly Sporting Club. The CAS has stated that the appeal of FC Sion Association (* club) was inadmissible. The appeal of Essam El-Hadary has been partially upheld and the CAS has reduced the financial compensation for breach of contract, which was initially fixed
at EUR 900'000 by FIFA, to an amount of USD 796'500.

However, the sporting sanction imposed on the player (four months suspension) is confirmed. In June 2008, the club Al-Ahly filed a claim at FIFA to argue that Essam El-Hadary had breached his contract unilaterally and that FC Sion had induced the player to act in that way. The
Egyptian club requested FIFA to impose sanctions and to order a financial compensation in its favour. On 16 April 2009, the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) ordered Essam El- Hadary to pay the amount of EUR 900'000 to Al-Ahly and decided that the "Swiss club FC
Sion" be jointly liable for such payment.

Furthermore, the FIFA DRC imposed a four-month suspension against the player and prevented the FC Sion (generic term) from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the next two transfer periods.

On 18 June 2009, the FC Sion Association, on one hand, and Essam El-Hadary, on the other hand, each filed an appeal with the CAS in order to request the annulment of the FIFA decision.
Both Appellants requested that the execution of the FIFA decision be stayed until the end of the arbitration procedure. These requests were granted by the CAS on 7 July 2009. The case was then referred to a Panel of CAS arbitrators composed of Prof. Massimo Coccia, Italy (President),
Mr Olivier Carrard, Switzerland and Prof. Ulrich Haas, Germany. A hearing took place in Lausanne on 9 December 2009 during which the parties, their legal representatives and their witnesses were heard.

The CAS Panel has first stated that FC Sion Association did not have standing to appeal the FIFA decision before the CAS, considering that said association lacked legal interest to do so.

Indeed, the examination of the procedure conducted before FIFA has shown that 1) FC Sion/Olympique des Alpes SA (professional club) was designated in the claim of Al-Ahly and that 2) FC Sion/Olympique des Alpes SA was willing to act in the FIFA procedure, in accordance with the mandate that the club had given to its legal advisor.

Therefore, even if FIFA used a generic term to designate the club purchasing Essam El-Hadary, there is no doubt for the CAS that the club concerned by this matter and party to the procedure before FIFA was FC
Sion/Olympique des Alpes SA. As FC Sion/Olympique des Alpes SA did not file an appeal against the FIFA decision, the club remains bound by such decision.

After examination of the circumstances of the breach of contract between Essam El-Hadary and Al-Ahly, the CAS Panel has fixed the financial compensation due by the player to his former club at USD 796'500.--. This amount has been fixed taking into account several criteria, the most
important one being the evaluation of the transfer fee Al-Ahly was deprived of because of the breach of contract by the player. FC Sion/Olympique des Alpes SA being jointly liable for the payment of that amount, it benefits indirectly from the reduction. Furthermore, the four-month suspension, which has not yet been served by the player, will come into effect at the beginning of next season.

A bit of background to what its all about.Plus this interesting article which might help us a little.

Public prosecutor of canton of Vaud decides not to enter into substance of claim lodged by OLYMPIQUE DES ALPES SA against FIFA Secretary General and UEFA General Secretary

UEFA has noted with satisfaction the decision of the public prosecutor of the canton of Vaud not to enter into the substance of the claim of attempted coercion lodged by OLYMPIQUE DES ALPES SA against the FIFA Secretary General, Jérôme Valcke, and the UEFA General Secretary, Gianni Infantino.​

This decision was announced today, Friday 26 August 2011, only a few hours after having received the claim. In particular, the public prosecutor explained that "the behaviour to which the claim refers does not constitute attempted coercion or any other crime."

UEFA wishes to reiterate the importance of obeying the rules laid down by football's governing bodies and its own determination to apply such rules in the greater interest of football.
