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

[SilverFox2]

I think CAS is more or less telling UEFA to bring it on if they dare.

Be it on their head.

Is it remotely possible that the ones who want to insist on uefa serving a ban on City will be asked to contribute to the obvious legal costs this will lead to?
If the top table members feel so strongly they ought to back their mouths with limitless cash like City no doubt will do on their side.

Reading article in the Independent today. Doesn't look good. Any decision taken against us would be mirrored by Premiership.

That is complete bullshit though, as Tony Evans would know if he were a remotely competent reporter that Premier League FFP and UEFA FFP are completely different regulations with very different standards.

Is that the Tony Evans article. Seems a bit more like wishful thinking than anything else. I wonder which club would benefit most from the points deduction he thinks is the obvious option. The other thing he (and a few others) tends to do that I don't like is repeat this claim that if we win, it's the end of financial controls. Almost as if we need to lose for the good of the game.

Not only that but Premier League FFP didn't exist in the reporting period in question.

What doesn't look good? That's a speculative (and probably hopeful) piece by an Arsenal fan. It's not based on new information or even internal leaks.

Is that Evans' piece? He's a full-on Scouse provocateur, and I think it's over-egged significantly (or just plain misunderstood) about domestic interest in FFP. As if that would ever be decided before the season ends. The rest of it is mostly commentary/opinion.

He's not an Arsenal fan, surely? His Twitter lists him as Scouse Separatist.

If I was a betting man I’d put my money on Livarpool. From the outside, it seems to me that the Glazers don’t particularly care about winning: it’s just business. John W. Henry is a sports owner who wants to enrich himself but he also wants to win in the process.

There’s a scene at the end of the film “Moneyball” - I highly recommend it by the way - that can enlighten you to his mindset. What’s more enlightening is the reports coming out of the USA in respect to his baseball franchise; doping, stealing of signs and illegality.

I think all owners of PL clubs are in it for the money.

Lets be fair our owner knew he would be not welcome yet chose to buy City as an investment.
The others feared this because that is what he does successfully in many other sectors.
His investment is maturing nicely so the others had better get used to it.

Yeah, sorry. I got him mixed up with some idiot Arsenal fan who used to do bitter online blogs about us. And no, I can't remember his name :(
