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

[its grim up north]

Tell UEFA we won't destroy them as long as they 'arrange' for us to win the CL in a few months

Then if we do win the Champs League, renege on our agreement and destroy them.

Surely you mean simply level the playing field? ;-)

I would like to think that, if we are forced into a position where we have to appeal, the appeal grounds will be extended to include the fundamental corruption lying behind the introduction of FFP in the first place. Get Platini, Gill, Rumenigga, Parry et al into the box to explain how the original intention of FFP to control debt was subverted by their clubs as described by Platini in his interview with Martin Samuel (Exhibit 1)

No chance.

Complain to Ofcom, they not only regulate the BBC but now also regulate the internet

I looked at doing this but they seem to say they handle compaints for TV and radio but not "what people write or post on the internet"?

I informed the BBC it was factually incorrect 7 hours ago but they have still not corrected it. I don't think it's a coincidence no reporter put a name to the article?

That's genuinely not acceptable. It's impossible for anyone to write that if they've read the original stories properly.

Actually most of the media have been reporting their "views of news" rather than accurate "news" for some time.

Up with the lark this morning to enjoy my daily fix of "The Magic UEFA Roundabout", or "How the plotting of Gill, Parry and others brought UEFA down".
Geez, I am enjoying this.

 

[Plain Speaking]

I put it down to just blatant lying.

Probably? There are so many examples of bias against the club, it would be good if someone at the club could make an official complaint. Their lies and misrepresentations are damaging our reputation.

 

[bluetonium]

Also complained. Embarrassingly inaccurate, regardless of any bias or personal feelings, to mix up UEFA and CAS is playground stuff and shows they were too busy writing something negative about city to actually fact check or provide any background.

I notice the BBC have now changed the story. They are a total embarrassment for a national broadcaster.

What gets me is they reopened the investigations 1 day before the 5 year timeline on stolen leaked emails!! 100 of thousands Emails that mainly only picked out city emails! So that tells me someone was paying this guy to Steal them and look for shit on us! I’d say it’s the fcuking yanks.

That's not really accurate.

The investigation was opened some time before that.
The 5 year deadline was the cutoff date for the IC to send it to the AC, which they did, with City commenting that they hadn't engaged with their questions.

My memory suggests that the hacked haul had a lot about other clubs which were reported by individual country media where they were interested; even Spiegel apparently reported the Germany-related stuff, but the British media didn't.
