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

Ha, this is a little different, bud, certainly in the grander scheme of things ;)

Only one outlet stated we would not receive any sanction, yet is now being cited by some people as authoritative because it is one of the few pieces to have a positive theme in recent days.

I'd expect The Athletic needs to be very positive right now.

I have no problem with the athletic, well no more than any other media outlet at the moment, but in the article that mentioned about the meeting with pep and the players on saturday it began with stating that the club execs had stipulated to the players in the most stringent terms the absolute requirement for a full and total lack of leaks to anyone outside the club regarding this matter. It then went on to state what had been said and by whom at said meeting....

Can’t wait to go on holiday in June wear my shirt, any dick that says anything about us is getting it full on, don’t think my wife will be best pleased.

Ha ha me too mate , June as well , Greek island ?

That's not a defence though. We are in deep shit if that is the way we are appealing.

This has to be fought on what we have not done, not what others have.

In a court, precedent is quite important I'd say. If in an equivalent situation, one party has been dealt with leniently and the other not, then someone like CAS will take that into account in their judgement.

I have a feeling Spanish Dave will jump ship in the summer.

If everyone else fucks off we might need to convince him to stay another year.

Hypocrisy is everywhere in society, it is overlooked when it serves a purpose.

This is my take too. We open with "other clubs have done similar and not been banned" and CAS state it's on a case by case basis and they are only in session to look at our appeal against UEFA and nothing else. Then our Lead Counsel swiftly asks for a recess...you get the picture ?

In a word, no.

And I think he would. And the loyalty shown by Aguero is staggering.
he could of gone anywhere at anytime if he wanted a chumps winners medal.

It won't be the end of it. They will simply find some other way of pursuing us.

Which is why if the club has a strong case we may not stop at CAS.This fight has to be to the end really.

Well if that's what £30 million worth of legal minds gets you I'd be worried.
