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

[BlueMoonz1977]

The offseason tournaments already exist (and haven't actually done that well as of late). I don't see it.

stick the word “lucrative” into the equation and that changes the whole thing altogether

it’s doable and why fifa are looking into it

This is a really good write up (below) in the New York Times that shows how UEFA colluded with P.S.G. to help them cheat FFP.

it also shows the key part played by our main adversary at UEFA Yves Leterme....if it was written in King of the Kippax you would assume it was complete bollocks...but it’s not, it’s the New York Times.

I thought, according to some posters on here, that the NYT were Liverpool’s mouth piece ?

Will City's appeal to CAS be based on a flawed investigation process that we believe was prejudiced, or can we go into interpretations about the meaning of certain pieces of evidence?

i believe it is the former and this is a bit disappointing and limiting because most of UEFA's case (that we breached their rules) seems flawed to me and based on interpretations of related parties, and the government of Abu Dhabi.

As was posted a few pages back City refer to “irrefutable evidence”, so imo it won’t be just based on the process.

Yeah thats what I am saying... the emails stated a "Royal Highness" paid the money to Etihad but it doesnt name them directly... so there's no actual proof Shiek Mansour paid it and even if there was he doesn't own Etihad although it would be dubious

Probably HRH Prince Andrew.

It has been a bad few days since the news broke, half expected or not. Trolls and the biased media, with one or two rare exception's, revelling in it all.

I have come to the conclusion it is best to forget it until a final decision is made. I have ranted and raged, fell out with a few on here, apologies, but it is pointless really. All we can do is get behind the team and get involved with any protests at the games. Talking about it will solve nothing, even all the knowledgeable posters here have been wrong every step of the way so anything we add is pure speculation.

Trying to avoid any football related stuff involving us that doesn't mention this is going to be difficult but I'll try. Fingers crossed we beat the bastards!

Sounds like a plan!

Sounds like a plan!

It's the right way, whether I stick to it is another matter lol!

Probably HRH Prince Andrew.

Now there's a sh*t storm we don't want anything to do with lol

 

[ShaunMCFC]

I assume we would lodge our appeal at the first opportunity, probably tomorrow. Why wait?

I reckon we'll accept the charge.

Think that’s the issue for many of us!

Marv that is the 64k$ question that I and loads of posters seem to be struggling with.
If it's the process then it is indeed worrying because CAS could agree the process was flawed but come to the conclusion that we still violated FFP.
And if it is on the more subjective issue of process how can Khaldoon and our lawyers be so confident of a successful outcome?
