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

Quite excited by all this. City’s owners won’t be pushed around.

Except we’re being pushed around like Yaya swatting away midfielders in his pomp.

So you keep saying.

Feel free to offer a tad more insight if you have it?

Why would I need to? Let’s see why Delaney has come to that conclusion related to two unrelated bodies with no precedent ever.

The wagons are circling.

Trial by media. They will try and take our titles. Guarantee it.

This could seriously damage us in the long term. Players might not want to move here and we would need to balance the books more.

There’s always something with city haha

Thats the spirit

 

[stan bowles]

Fuck Cultural issues. We all saw it . Gill, Fenway and Bayern’s grubby mits all over this . The club have joined the DuPont case when thet had the chance . .

However time to go to war

Also spend a fucking billion while we are away and get away with it like the scouse cvnts dod

And don't forget that racist Tebas - he's been wanting City banned for years.

All the talk of getting the best lawyers etc.....they haven’t done a good job so far.

Please tell me what the lawyers should have done ? we haven't had a hearing for a lawyer to say anything at. We supposedly breached the FFP and we took a pinch, no need for a lawyer. they have now come back and found us guilty without any hearing so how could the best lawyer in the world do anything ?

Feel really strange aboutl all this, shocked even though it was pretty much expected, we go tto CAS and its overturned on a technicality, well we're still seen as cheats by others and our achievements are tarnished or do we still go all the f#@kin way through every fu@kin Court in the world and show this corrupt organisation for what it is!!!!!

They discredit us and our achievements already. Who fucking cares. I would take this to highest court and end uefa. It’s us against the world anyway.

 

[HolisticJim]

If thats the case then we are basically admitting guilt by accepting a reduced ban and fine

Our owners have catergorically stated that we have done no wrong

Which means Accepting a reduced ban is not going to happen

If CAS only reduced the bad then that’s it.
There’s nowhere left to go.

Nice one Lou.
If we bankrupt ourselves and then get a leveraged mortgage before operating with a debt of 700m for years we might get some praise for doing it, ''the united way''

Can't make this shit up mate.

Which club has more of a chance of folding?? Cant put your own money in to your own club and also help regenerate a city too but you can leverage one to the hilt, use it as a cash cow and bleed it dry because you were a great team 10-15 years ago and have a massive fan base? Joke

We broke rules? Let's see if a court of law agrees with that statement

Haha come on of course you did. Usmanov is supposedly behind the scenes for us and his company have paid £30 mill just for first refusal on naming rights for our new ground - as if. They have had to do that so we have more room to move in the transfer market, so not to break rules.

Indeed. FFP mostly just reinforces the glass ceilings within the game. Exactly what it was designed to do (and conveniently ignores debt).

Of course. What chance has anybody got of getting near the top without money? Yes develop your own, build a great team and win it that way etc but as we have seen with teams in the past, notebly Monaco and Ajax recently, if you have quality players and do well then those players go to teams with more money.
