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

[City Raider]

We have to win if only because we’ll get to see this prick doing a piece outside the Etihad eating a shit load of humble pie.

Both City and UEFA get to pick one sitting judge each on a panel of three.

It will come down to who the 'independent' is.

Sounds a bit better than UEFA having all three. Prosecutor, Judge and Jury.

Someone who fucking hates us, shouldn’t be hard for them to find

From Wikipedia "Syed was born in Reading, Berkshire. His father, Abbas Syed, is a Pakistani immigrant to Britain who converted from Shia Islam to Christianity, and his mother is Welsh." - please check sources before you make claims of racism.

16 million plus remain voters didn’t check their facts before labelling 17.4 million leavers racist. That horse has bolted. Anybody can scream racist at anything they don’t agree with. It’s the new way of the world don’t you know.

And just for evening it up, 17.4 million leavers scream Marxist, one world government at anything they don’t agree with. He can always resort to plan B if Syed successfully defends his racism slur. Something will stick.

It is possible for someone of Pakistani origin to be racist and certainly Islamophobic (which may be more accurate in this case) Racism is not just about skin colour.

Am I missing something? I don't know anything about Syed other than him being fairly handy at the old whiff whaff, but how does any of what you posted preclude him from potentially being racist?

The CAS people are not shills. Our pick will rule against us if we're wrong and UEFA's wont side with them either if we have the claimed exculpatory evidence.

I hope so. But looking at how long the list is, does anyone doubt that UEFA have deals with a few of them? I’d love to see a list of who their picks have been in the last 10 cases. See if there’s any pattern.

Exactly, having gone back and watched and read the evidence you are right. The money has come from AD revenues so while not directly funded by SM he and his assets (ADUG) have been benefactors of this and have used it to their advantage. They have breached FFP on a technicality. What City are appealing here is that UEFA would not listen to any evidence and had reached a punishment before the investigation began. If they are successful in this appeal they will have their sanction reduced but not removed. They are guilty on a technicality whether we like it or not and have made a huge error of judgment and have deliberately played UEFA's system. FFP is unfair as it ensures that world football is dominated by certain clubs.

Their own ignorance and contempt in which they hold UEFA has put us in a right mess. I just can't believe that our owners have been so stupid as to have these type of conversations by unencrypted email that could easily be hacked. Unbelievable.

Ignorant of what exactly?

Do you believe they had no knowledge or information

 

[Gordyola]

Say we win this what happens to the premiership case against us is that one over to?

No is no Premier LEAGUE case as yet

What's wrong with the AD ruler bailing the national airline out of financial difficulty.

As long as the money isn't traceable to Mansour What's the problem.
