    Besiktas suspended from European competition for one year by Uefa

    Uefa have suspended Besiktas from all European competition for one year, and fined them €200,000, due to financial problems at the Istanbul club, according to Turkish media.

    The move comes after Uefa scrutinised Besiktas' accounts in the second and third quarters of 2011 and ruled that they breached articles of the ruling body's financial fair play regulations.

    Shares in Besiktas tumbled more than 9 per cent following the news.

    Besiktas chairman, Fikret Orman, and the club's lawyers attended a meeting with Uefa's disciplinary committee for a second time on Wednesday after the club was earlier warned about its financial status and high debt.

    Orman said Besiktas would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the ban, but added he was not very optimistic about a ruling in favour of the 13-time Turkish champions.

    "We will defend the club's rights until the end, and will appeal to CAS as the first step," Levent Erdogan, a lawyer and club board member told Turkey's Dogan news agency.

    "I think it's a dramatic decision, and it will hit us pretty badly, but there's nothing we can do."

    I mean, anyone that expected UEFA to suspend any elite sides is a fucking retard, but this is hilarious. Chelsea will spend 100M by the end of next month, City reported a 200M+pound loss, but these Mooslims are the real problem here.

    So, I don't sound biased. Milan, Juventus, and Inter should all be bitch slapped as well.

    Milan for having a 33 man squad with a 160M wage bill (top 7 or so in all sports), producing a 60M deficit, and being a mediocre fucking squad.
