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

[NorCalBlue]

Just think, we got 3 years less than Liverpool got for mass murder of football supporters.

Getting banned from Europe = European Royalty. Yay, we finally made it!

 

[Blue Bogey]

Manchester City is a football club that will continue to build strong foundations in its community with the bricks others have thrown at us.

 

[Keeper!]

Ian Ladyman and Ian Herbert must never again be allowed through our doors

Let them through the door for Pep's next press conference, then serve them with writs for slander and libel and broadcast it live to the world.

If as we're arguing now that uefa didn't follow the correct procedure and there was leaks or whatever to the press and we get it overturned, what then stops the fuckers coming after us again?

They have slandered a sovereign nation, basically saying to the world they are bent , shady fookers, good luck taking on the best lawyers the world has on offer and taking on Khaldoon and co.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

UEFA are in all kinds of bother here
If the upper chamber agrees with the IC, finds us guilty and hands out a punishment then no matter what that punishment is we will appeal it to CAS, where CAS will release every single document, how corrupt the UEFA process has been and we will continue to persue it through every legal Avenue for years

If the Upper chamber decides that there isn't enough evidence and releases that in a statement (instead of totally exonerating City) then the club will persue it as defamation and again go to the courts to prove due process wasn't followed

So the question is, how does UEFA get itself out of the hole it's dug itself?

Well it's over to us now, cos UEFA dug a hole and threw us in it. Of course there is the appeal process but this time next year my guess is a reduction to £10m and a one year ban and we'll still be labelled as cheating bastards

On a side note, what will be the situation IF we are found guilty by CAS regarding our audited accounts?

Will the inland revenue be taking us on to?

The fall out from this is going to be pivotal for the future of Football and for that matter Manchester City FC.

Hope to fuck you're right, maybe I'm just a cynic but my trust in justice after everything we've been dealt is fucking zero, the silence around the dippers hacking case is proof of that.

If we are guilty after CAS we are fu**ed , we are finished and so are our owners.

 

[doobyedoobye]

If we are guilty the ban and fine are upheld

Hardly. We will regroup and rebuild. It'll have shorter term impacts for sure, but we have too much power now to be put back in the box.

Why would inland revenue care unless we've been misreporting income and not paying tax on it?

 

[bluemoon32]

Would be great to win the CL this year and at the final whistle just walk down the tunnel & don't bother with the trophy presentation

Deeds not words this time khaldoon.

Legally speaking, these things (correct procedures, secrecy of proceedings, etc) hold vital importance as disregarding them throws the whole proceeding into question like our case.

If we get a fair opportunity, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that UEFA acted with prejudice during the course of proceedings which should be enough to quash the verdict.

In any event, it hurts to see the club and the fans having to go through this. Hopefully, justice will be done in the end.

Nice guys usually do get dealt harsh hands by life sometimes for no fekin reason, we tried to be the one in UEFA and got dic***. Hopefully, gloves are well and truly of now to go after them with full force

Our accounts would have been doctored?

Yeah, i think it's time

 

[Moggzy]

At the risk of a backlash, does anyone think we did what we are accused of?

for the record, FFP is there to keep the Status Quo. It’s not fit for purpose.

Looking at the ban “logically” however, our main sponsors at the time and now all have links to our owners. It does look like pocket passing.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

If the decision was expected by our club, then our advance media campaign has been shite. If it was to be expected, our transfer policy is to be questioned, as a few players will certainly be put off now this judgement has landed, surely we should have done more business in January. If is was expected, then Pep will certainly have made plans to fuck off, no way is he staying . If it was expected and our defence is that UEFA didn't follow procedure, in effect we're saying guilty m'lord, i was well in excess of the speed limit but the radar was 1 day out of calibration. In the eyes of the public unless our defence is more substantive, we're still guilty fuckers, deserving of punishment and our club is stained . - END OF.
More than ever, our club owners, Chairman and Board need to show that they have a set of balls, that they acted in true faith and honesty throughout this process and start fighting back. A lot of shit has been thrown at our club , most is sticking

 

[Blue Bogey]

Today is the first blank page of a new Manchester City chapter. Let’s make sure we write a good one.

As long as the payment into City’s accounts comes from Etihad we have done no wrong.
