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

[Hesperus]

Khaldoon has stressed numerous times that city have nothing to hide and are willing to comply.
UEFA can't have one iota of dirt on us as we haven't got anything.
They are basing this on leaked emails, without reading our 200 page dossier and listening to these debt ridden clubs skriking because we're doing things the right way.

I certainly hope you’re correct but it would seem amazingly misguided of UEFA to try and reopen a case that was already settled.

I know most here think the media is completely against you...but driving home earlier actually heard Durham sticking up for you....and even stranger for him...making sense!
Basically saying, what have you actually done? Invested in a club to break into the "cartel", not loaded it with debt or run the club into the ground and boosted the local area and economy.
Have to say I agreed with him....throw it all out, you aint done anything wrong....and good luck!

He will be told to say something different 2moro

I've jsut got to record (another) podcast so won't be back online until about 7. I'll have a good read of the article then but at least it's out there even if it may not be 100% perfect. I can work from there.

What is the name of the Podcast?

Would be good to hear this.

Plus under their rules and regulations they can't reopen a case that is 5 or more years old and seeing as this is from 2014 they've broke their own rules.
I really don't think they've thought this accusation through.

In fairness he's been fairly consistent on this issue not that I have listened recently as I am trying to avoid all media platforms and get most of my news from this site!

IF we manage to get this overturned and admonished without any punishment you can imagine the boiling pots of piss all over dipperland and ragville.

We MUST now wage war against the media that have continually been allowed to portray us as filthy dirty cheats. Maybe if we had an owner that had just dumped billions of pounds of debt on the club, and THEN spent billions on it would wouldn’t be in this situation. Rags have done it without a sniff.

Durham has a mate who is a City fan
This morning Brazil was saying look at how Real have been subsidised by the local government over the years

They started the investigation just before the 5 years was up so they are OK on that front

Also lets be fair...a member of this community investigated, dug out some evidence and 12 hours later it's headlining one of the biggest papers in the country. Fans can have an impact on the discourse.

I agree. Conn uses the evidence as a negative but he has effectively publicised the point PB wanted to make (that Etihad Airlines sponsorship of Man City was underwritten by the UAE state and not our owner.) PB has got D. Conn to tacitly concede this point even if he has gone on to give the whole argument a negative twist.

He’s a WUM but he’s generally sympathetic to City.

Sneaky bastards. Sounds like they was desperate to do something to us.

 

[chedinho]

I was going to post at least we don't have to hear from that bitter bore Wenger, who droned on about us for years, how wrong could I be!

https://www.skysports.com/football/...an-arsene-wenger-says-rules-must-be-respected

Arsenal have the greatest history of any team in the world.
Historically they have had influence over the fa for more than a century and at one time were the fa.
Punishing clubs who won or threatened to win trophies
Historically the biggest cheating bastards in world football.

And ideas yet for banners? You could maybe create a topic in its own right. I am sure City fans could come up with a few ideas. Something short and to the point.

Gonna keep a lot of it under wraps to be honest. Don't want too much going under the watchful eye....

All fans who donate will be asked to email their thoughts though.

 

[sir baconface]

Agree with your post however
It was a analogy for the views and outlook of all those there.
The poster I replied to said Syed couldn’t be racist as he was mixed race.
Had he said he wasn’t ‘white’ then I would have agreed

Please don’t insult my intelligence. I’ve agreed with @SebastianBlue to leave it there and suggest you do too.

point in the article states the investigation period cant be older than 5 years. therefore the investigation period couldnt begin from 2012 but only 5 years prior to the investigation announcement date.

When does a file become a dossier?

When it can’t be arsed being a file anymore.

no PayPal ;(

A limitation of gofundme unfortunately. I'm pretty sure we have a paypal account though. I'll PM you if I find it.

I missed this, was it Prestwich Blue?
