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

[bewildered]

My post from 2nd Jan on the Pep thread - link here: https://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/possible-extension-to-pep’s-contract.343367/page-49 - I really wish my source hadn’t been as close as he was with the rumoured punishment but I think what it tells us is that City haven’t been taken completely by surprise by this news and must’ve been aware a while ago.

Yes, quite possibly. However the club had to wait for the process to complete and will have been working on this for quite while. EUFA delayed the decision which to me indicates that there are issues with their position.

I think some of the cosying up that happened during this years group stage might have been EUFA looking for a compromise, City have clearly said "see you in court" and so this now needs to play out legally.

That being the case I'm pretty confident. SM will not want any loss of face.

The club will go in hard now. I'm pretty sure that this will be the end of FFP and possibly EUFA in its current form.

I sincerely hope we’ve been doing some digging in recent years, and now let rip with everything. Time to smash the corrupt fockers!

Fingers crossed that we have as I suspect our owners will make eufas’ version of “ playing dirty “ look very amateurish compared to ours.

They’ll be looking to impose a points deduction and or stripped of titles if they can.

Collapse the club - the fans create St Mark’s again

What about the FFP rules in the Prem?

Not an expert by any means but my understanding is that the prem allow you to make a loss, even if guilty we would be within the tolerance.

Someone’s already blamed Sterling ( not me )

Everton fan here.

This is a disgrace. Yes you broke rules but the owner wouldnt have to do that if he was just allowed to fund his own club without having to resort to getting creative.

The whole rule is designed to keep the same little cartel at the top and close the door to anyone else. How can a rule that only allows you to spend what you earn help anyone but those who are already at the top? It doesnt, but thats the whole point.

I hope your owner wipes the floor with them in court or on appeal and gets rid of the whole FFP rule - its a sham.

What avenues are open to us? I know there's CAS but I don't trust any of them. They are all prejudiced against Arab money and most of football goes along with it out of parochial interest. The bug winners are Liverpool FC, Real Madrid etc and the architects of FFP. This is about the preservation of power.

There are many courts of law available to us, Switzerland would be the first port of call after CAS if needed.

Since when as a fan base have we been worrying about other fans laughing at us? That is when we as a fan base are stronger and louder. Cannot believe some of the posts in here tonight.

Well said mate..Ive never given a fuck what other clubs fans have thought about us,,i didnt bother what they said when we were shit and i sure as hell dont give a fuck about them now.

If he doesn’t start scoring again he’s added to the list
