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

So the CAS arbitration panel are playing sis-pap-brick to reach a verdict. Have I got that right?

No ibble obble mate.

Jesus pages & pages all about what we're called.

Like (Glasgow) Rangers & Celtic, we're known just as City.

Can we please get back to talking about no info on the CAS case now.

A psychologist could use this thread as a classic example of identity! Like it or not this trial cuts to the core of who we think we are as fans and one thing we find it hard to tolerate are accusations of cheating. So it’s no surprise to see separate conversations springing up about what we should call ourselves and a little bit of nostalgia [emoji1]

We need a thread about growing up in the 60's and 70's.......Penny arrow bars, fruit salads, clackers, chopper bikes, penny round collars, Robinson Crusoe and Banana Splits on the telly....I'll let others go on now!

Spangles!

And for dinner City sent all parties complimentary Chip Barms and a tub of gravy to dip them in

It was claimed earlier in the thread that Etihad may have front loaded payments to suit City's cash flow requirements and it was stated it would make no difference at what stage the money was paid once it was the right amount within the contract period. That isn't really compatible with a struggling business that needs propping up by the state. Bringing forward financial obligations wouldn't be considered normal, especially to an unrelated party.

Our owner is not a state ffs

Loved watching that in the school holidays , great theme tune too ..

Once the verdict is passed down, whatever it is, is that it or are we under the cosh for the next 5 years whereby they can revisit it?? Also, unless it’s a fine only (for lack of cooperation), but covered under a non-disclosure no guilt result, surely we will be in the PL crosshairs for sanctions, egged on of course by the hateful 8...

It won't matter. FFP won't be recognised in its current form when the window reopens.

Possibly a luxury spending tax on acquisitions over £50m.

Pannick is Pep

Spoke to someone pretty well connected at City earlier, and he said that the feeling within the club was that the hearing had gone really well. Could of course mean nothing, as the arbitrators have only just started their deliberations, but it sounds promising so thought it was worth sharing.

No Hollands puddings? Could cost us that!

Just make sure you put the top back on the felt tip pen.

Good man - loads of runts on this forum - long may it always be that City are rooted in white dog shit, that black tar which used to bubble up in the streets when it got hot and back entries for playing rallivo and kick-can!!

*Edits - plus the rag and bone man and that person who used to leave bottles of dandelion and burdock and limeade and lemonade on your doorstep like the milkman.

Used to get 10p a bottle returning them.

Life was so simple then...

Ironically he is called the corana man

You just be older than me. I was ten in 1984!

Yes,born in 1955 and lived in Rusholme,just off what is now Curry Mile.

Yep, best of three, but the lawyers can't quite agree on the wording!

Worst case scenario, we play headers and volleys or three and yer in, to ascertain if City are in the clear.

Cheers Ric, fingers crossed.
