UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[Tim of the Oak]

I clearly hope and pray that we do but it’s really interesting that everyone assumes city will be cleared and/or bring down FFP. Not sure how people can be so confident that this is necessarily the case. UEFA must also think city have a case to answer, irrespective of the rights and wrongs of this.

Everyone doesn’t think that. UEFA need to think that though or we will get a 5 year ban!

 

[Salford_Blue]

Because nothing says "Spending what you earn" like racking up hundreds of millions in debt...

Defining irony since the inception of FFP.

Very succinctly put, pal

 

[Allnightlong]

I'm just hoping that a few skeletons will be falling out of cupboards over the coming weeks. This is why I believe UEFA will not fancy a battle with us.

 

[jrb]

UEFA think every club has a case to answer outside their cartels clubs.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona were done for Tax invasion in Spain, meaning they had larger revenues, more money to spend on players, and in theory, they broke UEFA FFP rules, which should have been investigated by UEFA, but surprise, surprise, it wasn’t.

London Evening Standard printed City's side of things today , no assumptions just our side of the story.

Think that,s were our Top Brief's are based

Corruption comes in many forms, pretty much like 'the Devil'. The BBC are by far, one of the worst organisations guilty at masquerading it's allegiances. Take that dirty, rotten c**t 'Jimmy Saville', did they not pull the curtains in on that one? For years covering for his deviance's whilst playing the morality card. Do us a favour, yer leftist, lying cock-wombles. Sign of the times i'm afraid, we must ride it out then give it to em!!

Leftist? If you protect the establishment you tend to more to the right. Do not change the status quo. Mainly Tory govts for the last 50 plus years.

This thing has always cracked me up.

For example, Barça/Bayern fans and CEO talking about dirty oil money of PSG while they enjoy(ed) the Qatar Airways money. But, the difference is for them it is a sponsorship, so the money is well earned, while for your club it is ownership, so it is despicable.

Very thin margin, isn't it !

Same as United whose longest serving sponsor is Saudi Telecom which is state owned. Plus sponsorships from National Bank of Qatar and First National Bank of Dubai. Plus that paragon of human rights Putin's Aeroflot. Throw in Gulf Oil, United's second biggest sponsor, for more 'oil money'.

Had a very interesting conversation last night with a guy who claimed he worked for a very reks for a very reportable nation news paper and he claimed that City's legal department has contacted Talksport to Express their concerns over two reporters who this season and last have made liable statements on air about the club and that City are considering taken legal action against both individuals and would welcome their input on how they allowed this to be aired on their radio station. I havent listened to this station for years but it's my understanding that after rushing to discuss the allegations leaked by the New York Timed but after UEFA released their statement the station had not mentioned anything further on the e matter, would welcome anybody who has heard anything about this also posting.

Sounds like standard big business approach. A private shot across the bows is usually enough.

So when do we think G14 will decide when we are administered our medicine.
Will it be today or Monday I wonder.

The G14 group was disbanded several years ago, replaced by the likes of Gill and Parry working on various Uefa committees, they continue their dirty work and appear less transparent in their ongoing campaign against City.

Still wonder how PSG who are way more worthy of investigation are seen to be getting a free ride. I wonder if Laurent Platini son of Michel Platini who is involved with the Qatari owners knows where the dead bodies are hidden. There’s a litany of skullduggery going on between Uefa and the PSG operation over transfers and Sponsorship, however those particular issues seem to have been put on the back burner or even scrapped in favour of shafting us. Surely some of the Uefa crew that are zealously pursuing us know powerful info about PSG but I guess they have brokered deals to shy away from them, I wonder what their motives are?

All the club had to do was hold fire until after City won (or lost) the cup, and after the victory parade, and then later that Week after everything had settled down, they should have quietly, in-private, and with as little fuss as possible, and after negotiating terms with Mancini, sacked him.

You're right, that's the obvious thing to do, so Mancini must have fucked up royally for a chairman as calm and reasonable as Khaldoon to sack him before the cup final.

On the one hand we have one of the most calm collected businessmen on the planet who has run thos club brilliantly, and on the other we have an emotional time bomb in Mancini who has gotten himself sacked a dozen times, usually involving high profile arguments with owners.

Why on earth would you assume Khaldoon was in the wrong?

 

[Len Rum]

You really think it was the right thing to do?

No it wasn’t

The day before, or on FA Cup Final Day, to sack the Manager, was absolute Madness.

All the club had to do was hold fire until after City won (or lost) the cup, and after the victory parade, and then later that Week after everything had settled down, they should have quietly, in-private, and with as little fuss as possible, and after negotiating terms with Mancini, sacked him.

You must be the only City who didn’t have their day ruined from the moment the sacking rumours started to gather pace around Wembley, until Wigan lifted the FA Cup.

Like many City fans I’ve witnessed numerous lows at City, and that was definitely one of them.

Anyway, back to topic.

F*** off UEFA, Gill, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, all the other cartel clubs and European football associations, mainly La Liga and the Bundesliga, who are trying constantly to f*** City over!

Let it go now mate.

Surely it's a different thing to PSG though?

City broke FFP losses - got sanctioned.
PSG broke FFP losses - got sanctioned.

City alleged to have tried getting round owner investment rules - being investigated.
PSG - haven't been accused of this as far as I know.

All I can think is they are in receipt of damning emails with evidence we loopholed FFP. I’m certain the club are watertight on the financial evidence but perhaps these emails show how we skirted round it? They obviously think we have deceived them. It was all quiet until these Spiegel emails came to light.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Reports state he also oversees Dubai's secret services to ensure they aren't mistreating terrorists.

Haha. We're safe here guys.

This is all being played out for the peanut gallery.

Martin Lipton is today's also reports Fifa regulations state that CAS are the premium sporting dispute chamber and that "recourse to ordinary courts or law is prohibited".

I don't know why mentioning Fifa was included in his piece but I do know City have brought The Sun firmly into line this week.

It is clearly a veiled threat to Uefa in some guise that we don't give a shit what their regulations say.

 

[kippax4ever]

According to the BBC's Dan Roan, UEFA 'were actually considerate of City's footballing interests by waiting until after the club had retained the Premier League title before referring their case.'

Then goes on to say how we have a cup final at the weekend and how this should have been an uninterrupted week of celebrations.

Contradictory cnut.

Fk throwing beer on ratboy,,next time roan is seen at City(Parade-day)hopefully,
Cover the **** in piss..

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

When is this taking place Tolmie?

They have to review all the evidence we have previously submitted to the other panel.

So probably in the next half hour!
