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

[Ardwick Green Blue]

The really sad part about this is that in just over 24 hours since the news broke it has totally overshadowed the FOOTBALL.

It's as if the remainder of the season doesn't matter. Two weeks tomorrow we play in the League Cup final. It's 'only' the League Cup final but in the barren decades this would have been an unbelievable thing.

To be honest, I wasnt sure if I would bother going and I decided i would only do so if I could get a ticket for my daughter who works in London (ex SC holder but not a Cityzen member currently). Now that we both have tickets I'm really looking forward to hopefully a great day.

Maybe at some point we can move on from 'politics' and get back to enjoying watching football?

The game is too far gone for that. Too many clubs have too much influence

I know that bit but everyone was saying chill out we will be fine but we weren't. I am weary of it, it is bad enough dealing with shit officials and var that seems skewed against us without all this talk of bans, points deductions and relegations hanging over us. Football is supposed to be fun, a form of entertainment and escapism, at the moment it is anything but. We are where we are I guess and this has to be put to bed once and for all whatever the outcome. I just don't have the confidence we will win like some here because I have heard it all before.

That’s where I am mate. To win we need a level playing field. That doesn’t seem to exist if you are on the wrong side of the establishment.

Who cares ? You ready to fight for your club ?

Look I have been going since 1968 and followed us all over the country. I kept my season ticket going in the eighties even though I lived in Kent at the time and missed loads of games through work. I have certainly fought on the terraces, streets and train stations/coach parks also in my time. Not because I was a hooligan or hard nut but because back in the day it was a price you paid following your club, particularly away.

I have booed the EUFA anthem, argued our case online and in pubs but I can't fight this fight, neither can any blue here. It is out of our hands and in the hands of our legal team and the courts. All we can do is watch and wait.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Just for my own clarification, is it the £8 mil or the the £40+ mil that we're are supposed to have doped ?
Incase I have to go into combat tomorrow afternoon in the snug.

The problem with taking a deal is some german newspaper will release info about it in 5 years and talk nonsense about corruption and taking deals. Sure its happened recently but just can't place the names of the club or uefa official at the moment. Think it's Manchester Cheaty or something

 

[Fuzzy80]

We took one,we said no more and were adamant we were not guilty,we were never going to accept a guilty outcome,that would have crippled us

I’m not convinced we’re adamant that we are not guilty more adamant that UEFA can’t prove us guilty.

Maybe we’ve just decided we would look week to take it, I just would rather be sitting here with less prize money and a squad limitation, especially given they would have no right to limit spending as it relates to so far in the past.

We can absolutely fight this fight by supporting our club with every breath that we have.
