I can't believe that Mallorca can't play in Europa League next season after such a fantastic year they had... and after the bad luck in the last round with Sevilla scoring in 90+ and send Mallorca in Europa League....

That sucks hopefully the appeal works out.

Which makes that disappointment pointless.

Wasn't there a financial problem with Mallorca? And UEFA refused them to enter the competition? I don't see the point that a club i banned from entering the competition if they have financial problems. They've managed to get to the competition despite the financial problems. LOOOOOOL UEFA big mistake

The thinking is that UEFA doesn't want to risk them going insolvent while in the competition and thus being forced to forfeit all their matches. That said, the money earned from UEFA games would really help Mallorca's financial situation, so this decision makes Mallorca's position even worse off.

Its a shame because the players fully deserve it after their AWESOME season.

I agree. I mean if they have money problems, UEFA knows that the money they get from each european game they play would really help the team out so I don't see the point of them getting banned from the competition
