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

[nmc]

Just my opinion, I think if it’s gone UEFAs way they will not be able to resist it leaking through their usual channels and we will know very soon, no way will it be kept a secret until whenever CAS officially disclose their verdict.

If City win, I again think it will soon become clear as the players we are rumoured to buy/sell will give a clear indication, so one way or another not long to wait.

If the UEFA punishment stands and the CAS case finishes at 4:30pm, expect a tweet from Panja about 4:35pm, the five minutes difference will be to protect his ‘source’...

Neither side will know if it’s gone their way. CAS will adjourn after the hearing to consider the case and make a judgement. I guess each sides legal team will have an indication but will still hope for a result. Any leak will be speculation.

And after his behaviour after the cup final, I don't think Harris is high on the list of invitees to a Q&A.

Should make him or Pr man pay him 100k a week and he will be nice as pie. You reckon he would take it.

Is the judgement given at the end of the hearing then?
If so why the delay of a month or so. Before it is made more public?

I should think the official judgment would be why they take 1 or 2 months to deliver including why and how their decision has been reached.

But I am guessing there would be a strong indication at the end of these three days who is in the stronger position.

Edit: I see @nmc has answered.

So now we wait.......and wait......and wait.

Will this be the end of the CAS process, or could there be requests for further information?

In Swedish?

If this has gone against us it'll be leaked and all over the media pretty quickly.

If we've won, a new narrative of "sneaked out of it but still ****s" will emerge.

Keep those eyes peeled blues.

Here's the CAS press release. Main news is that the decision is expected to be issued in the "first half of July 2020".

What was that MMA ? I obviously missed something there.

It made me laugh when Soriano did that set-piece interview with Chris Bailey that was put out on the club website and the journalists were all squealing about how wrong it was that he wouldn't subject himself to "scrutiny" by them. As I said at the time, there's plenty of time for scrutiny of City's case before the CAS - where it'll be scrutinized by proper people who understand complex legal and financial matters, not some dickhead from the ranks of the uninformed, second-rate chancers who seem to comprise the overwhelming majority of British sports hacks these days.

The ‘British sports hacks’ pool, and sports media in general, seems both over-sized and over-inflated in terms of its sense of self importance - which the likes of Sunday Supp, Press Pass etc just stimulate further. I do appreciate we are a nation of armchair sports fans, but our sports media is over-developed, especially when it comes to football, with just too many ‘ column inches’ and too much airtime to fill on radio, tv and pod. Add in all the online amateurs with their blogs, podcasts etc, and it’s feels sometimes like we are a nation of wanna-be sports journalists.

5 weeks ffs? Oh well - at least the pubs should be back open by then and I’ll be able to go out and get absolutely twatted if it goes against us!

I see it lists the 3 names of the CAS arbitrators, wonder which one we chose.

True, but I’ll be too busy winding up every c*nting journalist on Twatter who assumed we were guilty!
