Yeah, completely un-City fan like to be pessimistic...
Preparing yourself for the worst and actually wanting the worst are two completely different things.
Haha. Mate, can I say that with each passing day I'm more convinced we're getting the full 2 years. I've got nothing to back this up except my own natural pessimism when it comes to City.
If it is the slam dunk, it will be the first time in over fifty years of following this club, that anything has been straightforward.I’m just hoping our evidence is as irrefutable as the club claims. If it is, then as you say there was no need to cut any deal with Ceferin. The club have been bullish about their innocence all along - even more bullish than UEFA with regards to their position - but I’m still nervy about the outcome. For all we know, we might be worrying over nothing and this is a slam dunk for City, hence the confidence emanating from the club. We’ll find out soon enough.
I believe the club have the right legal advice and the settlement agreement will be enough for us to prevail at CAS, not withstanding the fact I also think UEFA are time barred from this, and the fact they've given us a formal release.He’s even implied that we’re guilty in the last few pages. Now he’s entitled to his opinion like the rest of us, but I can’t see why any City fan - after being assured by the club that they’ve done nothing wrong - would believe UEFA over the club while the process is still ongoing, and in the absence of any comprehensive evidence showing why we are guilty. Now it might just be that the club have lied like fuck to us fans about all this but why any of our fans would think that at this stage is beyond me.
It's much more important mate. It might be the difference between us buying Grealish or Havertz. Either way we'll still be City and still be one of the top teams in the league. My only worry about this is if we and the players/management have been lied to by our top brass. I don't know if I could support us in the same way if they have done. Mind you, I'm as certain as I can be that they haven't so I'm pretty positive about the whole thing. The waiting is the worst thing.I cant wait for the decision to be made public so this thread can finally be put to rest!
This is worse than the Kaka or any other transfer speculative thread!
If City are guilty I’ll be angry and I’ll hold my hands up to anyone who questions it. I’m not presuming our guilt based on the review of an institution which has proven to be corrupt though.
Unfortunately there’s a few out there amongst our own support that want us to be guilty. I read a City Xtra blog the other week that said they’d be ‘staggered’ if we’d done thing wrong.
Seems to be the same types who think our media coverage is no more negative than Liverpool’s.
Glad I didn’t share a cabin with you on the Titanic.

Any idea when the club expect the decision sirHe was on deck with his sax playing 'For Those in Peril on the Sea'
That was Joe Butterfield who wrote that. The bloke’s a fucking wanker. It was a disgraceful article
Lets hope CAS don't bottle itI cant wait for the decision to be made public so this thread can finally be put to rest!

I understand why they write articles like that but it’s not something I could ever do myself.
Some of these lads are absolutely desperate for a job in the media so they write these contrarian pieces thinking it will prove to the media bosses that they’re unbiased and are willing to follow the narrative to fit in.
You are most certainly not alone!Spending the week like something from The Bill to try and decipher if we have won or not judging by some posts from professionals, so I can put my mind at rest. I’m sure I’m not alone and it’s driving me crazy.
Roll on Monday.
Oh yes.Dramatis persona surely
Anyway, any chance you can do another one of your posts where you ask why people are discussing things in a discussion forum?
I know that this view will place me in what some people consider to be the 'silly group' that are looking for our owner to 'take retribution' etc.I would like the Mansour to flex his financial muscles and create his own competition. Let the G14 slope off and play each other time and time again like the SPFL. (What a treat that is!) He could offer prize money way more than the opposition comps and allow the world's media to broadcast it for far less. The G14 would start out ok but would wither and die in time. It can be done!
Hmmmm, leaving it till monday eh, not confident then?Dunno about you but I've already got my 'appeal upheld' tattoo booked in for Monday.
So when was PB privvy to high level board issues at the club? As intelligent as he is I am not sure he is in in those discussions, in fact I am pretty sure either he isn’t or OB is talking out of turnNo. PB double checked. Omar Barrada confirmed the offer was made.
