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

[King KdB of Belgium]

From what I remember years ago, UEFA tried to ban a club from 1 of it's European trophies. They were told by CAS, that as long as we are looking into this matter, they must be allowed to continue playing in all European comps that they qualify for until we CAS give our decision one way or the other. Now whether this still holds true I do not know. Some I think that this is right. Just imagine the law suit that there would be should CAS say we are not guilty, and UEFA have banned us. They would have to pay all our loss of revenue during the ban running into the £millions + the loss of our reputation which we could also sue them for. This amount could end up bankrupting UEFA altogether.

The only reason is that UEFA are after us is this so called G14 group of clubs, who keep on pressing UEFA to come up with some sanctions to stop us any way they can. So what do UEFA do they agree with these so called big clubs and do what they say. They are just scared of them, because they know (that is UEFA) that they have to find some way of stopping us or these clubs will break away and form their own European club championship. That is why UEFA are after us, to protect this so called G14 group of clubs.

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved UEFA

Colin Bells Boots just because I am paranoid. It does not mean that someone is not after me. UEFA has only the G14 groups heart to care for. The rest of the clubs that qualify for the 2 tournaments they just don't care. Afterall they are only there to make up the numbers for each tournament.

My mother always said don't argue with an idiot, on this occasion, I'm going to take her advice

You were panicking over whether our highly competent legal team have taken a very very basic step, despite the fact that you trust them completely. If you’re going to post shite about stuff you don’t understand, don’t be surprised if you get pulled up about it.

by the way, when your mother said that, she wasn’t giving you advice, she was talking to herself. You just happened to be in the room at the time. And you still haven’t worked out why she said it.

i did indeed see quinny play loads of times and yes was also good on the floor. but the team and managers just used him as a outlet ball and play from there in winning the 2nd ball. BFS and moyes type of player and long ball bypassing the midfield

Horton didn't!

i think you will find quinny was out for a lot of the time under horton with cruciate ligament injury. we had uwe rosler paul walsh and peter beagrie and had was a ok team. think quinny got back late on in the season and play a big part in keeping us up and i remember the blackburn away when won the league that season and we beat them i think quinny won us a pen

 

[leithblue]

At a safe distance of 25+ years, I can now say that wasn’t a penalty for the challenge on Niall Quinn to make it 1-1

Was at the game...it was an Easter Monday (we beat the Dippers at home on Good Friday) Blackburn unbeaten at home all season, Shearer put them one up, then we got a pen - played really well and ran out 3:1 winners and hit the woodwork a couple of times.

On this clip you are right... I recall there was another angle that showed Quinn having his shorts (or disco pants) pulled.

and they called city for being champions and having no fans 27.000 and city always took 3 to 4 thousand to blackburn

This is the trouble if your CF is a big streak of piss. Old style managers just wanted a cross or long balls to the big fellah. I always thought Crouch was a much better player than his managers allowed him to be.

Unless they can do a hearing by video-conference I don't see this happening any time soon.

I feel uncomfortable with the grief he gets. I’ve got very fond memories of Quinny at City overall.

Even if it gets cancelled, we still qualified for next season’s CL.
