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

Or they just think they’re above the law

This was their attitude in the Bosman case when they informed the court that it had nothing to do with the law - it was up to UEFA to decide matters concerning football!

There were two challenges to FFP, one from the lawyer of Bosman. Anyone any idea how they went/are going?

As far as I know, the Bosman one is in limbo at the moment as it was bounced between the Belgian courts and the European one, both saying the other needed to hear the case. It's also impacted by the fact that there's no one among the appellants who can really claim to be a directly affected party. Of course, if we take over as the appellant, that all changes.

The last I recall, the ECJ told the Bosman Lawyer to go through the Belgian courts, exhaust that process & then appeal to the ECJ.

I know City didn't want to be the catalyst which brought down FFP & UEFA/G14, but in my mind we have absolutely nothing to lose by going nuclear against the lot of them.

Surely this course of action is on City's agenda?

UEFA can decide matters concerning football, however whatever decisions they make still have to be in accordance of the actual law. America once decided that black people couldn't go into certain stores or had to sit in designated areas on buses – women never used to be allowed in the vaul

I agree. Ceferin is a lawyer, why would he be prepared to basically bankrupt Uefa on his watch?

Peter Sutcliffe had a lawer, Harvey Weinstein had a shitload of the very best lawyers money can buy... Why is his being a lawyer actually relevant?!?

The UEFA crooks may go down the pools panel route to complete the greedy tw&ts league.

“Manchester City 0 Real Madrid 200”. away win.

To be fair, Uefa spoke to Der Spiegel first!

We provided a certain amount of context but not so stupid as to lay it bare.

Which has since even had me wondering if City may have gamed for it to go this far?

Starting to look like an elephant trap and the snakes have climbed in. Let’s hope so.

I’ve mentioned it before but if the cartel mafia and their Uefa stooges are so concerned to stop wrong doing why hasn’t CR7 been banned from football? The Der Spiegel allegations against him are far more credible and serious than anything City are accused of. City are not accused of breaking any law, Mr CR7 is accused of a very serious crime.

CR7!!!!!

No. We can do so, however, at a time of our own choosing ;)

Otherwise, they have our fully compliant and audited accounts to stick up their arse.

There will be the standard exchange of relevant documents required by CAS which will probably include the originals of the Der Spiegel emails. However, City will almost certainly ask for internal UEFA emails referencing us and FFP - that could expose a few clumsy individuals who I very much doubt will have covered their tracks too well. UEFA will have a lot more to fear from the process of disclosure and our legal team will have a hunch of what to look for - this is one of those cases where the fight is between City and UEFA but our QC will go after individuals - it’s always the best way to undermine an organisation. This looks like it’s gonna get interesting and I know some people see the G14 and UEFA as almost desperate entities; and think the G14 clubs will just walk away but the two are inextricably linked and a number of the G14s leading figures could and probably will get destroyed in this process. At best this is maladministration at worst it’s fraud.

CR7!!!!!

Don't worry Kaz, a CR7 is just an updated version(hybrid electric I believe) of a TR7.
(And the TR7 was a load of shite because it was manufactured in the Triumph factory in Speke).
