It doesn't actually, it involved the team that played Celtic, Basle will just get kicked out for being Swiss, their FA will be banned from all next season if they don't bend over and take it up the arse ......

This wont happen. Every year there is this kind of bollocks and it doesnt happen.
Any ban imposed on the Swiss FA would be for next season not having innocent teams kicked out of this season.
Non story.

If you've just jinxed it, you better make for the border, because your name won't be worth spit around these here parts, Mister !

Funny watching them get excited about it though.
Spoke to a couple of Man U fans already who's opinion about them I actually respect. Both are embarrassed by the idea. They're out, and deserve to be so.

I don't really get the point. "they're not very good" is obviously incorrect.

Okay, Neil.
Okay.
Okay.
Excellent news the mancs don't get back into the CL, but fucking hell, 36 point deduction!
----------------------------------------
From the BBC:
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.
Sion had been placed under a Fifa transfer embargo after football's world governing body ruled the club had been guilty of inducing Egypt goalkeeper Essam El-Hadary to break his contract with Cairo-based club Al Ahly in 2008.
However, the Swiss club proceeded to sign six players in the summer. Those six players took their case to a civil court in the canton of Valais, which ruled they could play, and Sion subsequently fielded them in the Swiss league.
Sion then fielded five of the six players during the Europa League play-off tie against Celtic and were kicked out of the Uefa competition as a result, but had not been punished by their national FA.
The Swiss side have now been docked three points for each of the 12 league and cup matches in which one or more of the six ineligible players appeared.
The penalty leaves them 10th and last in the Swiss Super League, on minus five points.
The SFV confirmed that Sion have the right to appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport against the points deduction, while Fifa said an emergency committee would study the SFV documents relating to the sanction early next month.
