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

[blueinsa]

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.

UEFA allow you to make a loss.

We have been accused of making the numbers up, despite having accounts fully audited so if UEFA are saying they are made up then it follows the PL will feel the same and the same clubs that have demanded this charge will want the PL doing the same thing.

 

[argyle]

Sky etc loving all this.

Yet come the next press conference that city PR guy will allow the media to question Pep about it all.

Just ban them and do the minimal requirement.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I didn't say anything bad about the club there. I was voicing disagreement with fans who think it's great news we're banned.

If you want to dig through the 20,000 posts I've made on this forum, feel free.

I understand you are upset with what you feel is an unfair accusation, but please refrain from personal abuse.

 

[fulabeer]

What's with all this appeal talk?
I admit i'm not clued up on all this. But i thought today's announcement was just UEFA's findings and punishment.
But as both parties had already agreed to then let CAS handle the dispute and abide by it's rulings?
City and UEFA have already submitted their evidence and where just awaiting UEFA's findings and possible punishments before the case could be started.
So surely this is just the start?

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.

Let’s hope so and Everton spend billions and out those Red scum back in there box...

 

[Cobwebcat]

Sadly, I feel you're right, but by the fuck I hope you're not.

He’s wrong. Just wait.

 

[bluebarry]

Today's a battle; the war can be won! Defiant to the end!

 

[oakiecokie]

Will this mean we will win this year's " Always the Victim" trophy, breaking Liverpool's unbroken run.

Hahahahjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !! I`m fucking using that in a few minutes when I go to my local with dozens of the fuckers no doubt waiting for me.

 

[Kazzydeyna]

If nothing else this thread has shown up a large number of wet farts ready to throw in the towel and speak against the club.

This is the first shot that has been needed to be fired for 8 years or more.

I cannot and do not believe that the club would take such a belligerent tone if they were not 99.9% sure of their ground.

The team, the players, the club now need us to back them more than ever. In here, at the ground, in the media.

And to that bloke with a rag father in law, fucking deck the ****, shag the wife's sister and mother, and enjoy the rest of your life mate.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Fuck it we have been accused of fixing the game before in 1904 and we are still around.

I couldn't give two fucks what clowns from other clubs think of our title wins and if they want to claim they are tarnished, the lot can fuck off as I know amthey are not and so shoyld fellow blues.


They all believe the shit anyway, better to just rub it in,

To court we go

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Do this open more domestic penalties from the Fa?

I think that’s a knocking bet, the shitbag fa will be gunning for us

 

[Gordyola]

To CAS we go then.

It could be a pyrrhic victory if it reactivates Sheikh Mansour.

You can see how it works when Simon Stone says



Man Utd, UEFA, Liverpool, and the media working hand in glove, and they are quite brazen about it.

If CAS are genuinely independent then they will see this for what it is.

So further proof of the breach of confidentiality that City complained about some no mark like Stone being told by David Gill

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Why are people so sure that the CAS is even independent? Since UEFA are clearly happy for it to go to them, I don’t trust CAS much more than I trust UEFA. I reckon they are bent too. UEFA want it to go to them, so I don’t like it. We’re going to get our arse handed to us, whether we’re guilty or not.

 

[brummie blue]

So, if we are out of the chumps league for two years, does that mean we can spend like mad for two seasons and it doesn't count toward FFP? ;-)

 

[Dr Jacoby]

If we can somehow win the CL this year, I’d like to see the players celebrate by urinating all the trophy. Given the circumstances, it would be the classy thing to do.

 

[ancoats]

just blow the whistle on everybody else and call it for what it is BENT we must not go down without taking the rest with us

 

[spiny]

Conciliation or compromise was doomed to failure so the gloves are off. Mud has been sticking for years so no change there.

It is a risky strategy for UEFA and any clubs engaged in besmirching the reputation of City. MCFC has known it was coming and we can probably expect another UEFA corruption scandal to rank with the FIFA and IOC ones because City are unlikely to hold back and will have done their homework.

 

[kaz7]

I think that’s a knocking bet, the shitbag fa will be gunning for us

We had best buckle up then

 

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

What gets me is our accounts are looked at every seasons by Uefa and they pass them!

Yes! I am inclined to think that UEFA is in such a bind because it has botched this from start to finish. It cannot be seen to be basing its case on stolen emails because they're increasingly discredited and partial, their "investigation" amounts to no more than one cock up after another. In particular we find that the period under investigation was 2012-2016, which it seems was not made known to City until after the matter was referred to the AC. The leaks from the IC appear orchestrated to persuade City to accept the sanction or at least negotiate a settlement. City's hardline seems to have pushed UEFA to believe a more uncompromising stance may induce City to compromise but I think they have miscalculated massively. I think City will respond aggressively. I think we'll win but it may be in the ECJ rather than CAS.
