There’s another element to this too.

Defending against Uefa is one thing. I’ve never cared for FFP and I’d rather we’d fought against it.

However, we didn’t, instead we became self sustaining and we made quite a big thing about how good our business model was. As a fan, I bought into that fully.

If, and it’s still an if, we cooked the books, then it won’t annoy me that we failed ffp or try to hoodwink Uefa. I’d be more annoyed that the vision of self sustainability and when we got there that was sold to me as a fan was a myth.

Had we ignored ffp, spent what we liked and accepted all the consequences, I’d have backed the owners to the hilt. Had we challenged uefa immediately about ffp as a principle, I’d have backed the owners to the hilt. If they’ve lied to me as a fan in order to lie to uefa and created the pretence that we’ve passed and our business model was always sound, that’s where I start to have an issue.

I don’t know which one yet is actually true. I want to believe and have always backed that the club is right and will continue to do so unless I see enough to think otherwise. The email leak was worrying to say the least though and if we have been misled (and I mean us as fans rather than Uefa) then my support for the owners will go very quickly.

It’s just a wait and see now though. Feels like we’re approaching the end game.

We should take the whole ffp protectionism rule to the court's, no way is that legal, what do we have to lose?

Well we haven't now for sure. We will find out what sort of backbone the club has, we have smiled sweetly and sat on our hands for too long.

I agree, but whatever makes you think we will be permitted to win their bent competition this season ? That remote possibility went completely out if the window with tonight's announcement.

If we win every game by a ton of goals, even the bent officiating can’t stop us. I hope this lights a fire under all their asses. Let’s see what type of hunger and fight these boys have now.
 
I think at the West Ham Game we should not demonstrate against EUFA's prejudice ruling but show extra love,, extra support to our Brilliant Owners and Chairman. EUFA only brought these rules in to prevent middle eastern owners. Buying up big clubs, stringent rules for us but United can lose their club to stockmarket gamblers, who dump nearly 1 billion GBP of debt on the club and that is okay, but our owner cannot use his own businnesses to support another business in the group. Plus we have spent 1.5 billion on the infracstructure, started a women's team,, a cerbral palsy team. - Electric chairs. A blind team and so on and with the council a new school 6000 new houses!!' Best owners that ever owned a football club.
 
Can someone please confirm if it is *****TRUE*** or ***FALSE***** that the only right City have to challenging this vindictive,malicious, UEFA ruling is through CAS ?

I have been lead to believe we can take this to the highest courts in the land via Switzerland.

One or two posters on here are alleging we have no right to any further appeal after the CAS appeal and adjudication.That their adjudication will be final and legally binding.

That We/City signed an agreement with UEFA agreeing that this will be our only appeals process.

Surely this is not true,with our owner talking about fighting UEFA all the way.

And we’ll be entitled to every penny, as this action damages our brand and standing (as well as CFG’s) well beyond any initial legal recourse, as it was fully designed to do.

If we do manage to get in that position we should genuinely sue them for a billion pounds in damages.

Doesn't matter now though. The damage has been done. We'll never be permitted to win their trophy. For me, today was the day football died. I can't see me having much enthusiasm for going to the RM home leg - could be the last hurrah for many of us.
 
Thing is even if we produced evidence showing certain clubs rags, dippers German rags whoever had conspired to manufacture this situation do you not think the press and media would spin the story saying they did it for the good of football? Fucking right they would, the damage has been done the brand has been hit whether we get it overturned or not. Not just football but the whole fucking world is corrupt.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
