Liam Gallagher launches X-rated rant on Man City Champions League ban – saying they’ll ‘smash the c**tz in court’
MANCHESTER CITY fan Liam Gallagher has launched an X-rated rant on Twitter where he claimed the club will smash Uefa in court following their two-year ban.
The Citizens on Friday were banned from competing in Uefa competitions for two years for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, while they were also slapped with a £25million fine.
Pep Guardiola‘s side were found guilty by Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) of falsely inflating their sponsorship revenues when submitting accounts as part of the FFP compliance process.
City plan to appeal the verdict and will take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The club’s owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan will reportedly spend £30m on the 50 best lawyers in the world where he plans to sue Uefa for the next ten years.
And former Oasis frontman Gallagher has now spoken about the situation on Twitter as he joked City are going to “smash the c**tz in court.”
Gallagher – who is currently in Italy as part of his world tour – took to social media to express his excitement at performing in Rome.
He tweeted: “ROME c’mon you know LG x.”
DON’T LOOK BACK IN ANGER
One fan then cheekily reminded him of City’s ban, as they commented: “Sorry for the ban but it’s fair.”
To which the 47-year-old replied by saying: “F*** that s*** man we’ll smash the c**tz in court.”
If City fail to have their ban overturned, then they could stand to lose out on £170m in revenue from the Champions League.
A club statement said: “Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by today’s announcement by the Uefa Adjudicatory Chamber.
“The club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position.
“In December 2018, the Uefa Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun.

“The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked Uefa process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver.
“Simply put, this is a case initiated by Uefa, prosecuted by Uefa and judged by Uefa.
“With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgement as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity.”
