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

Hmm, I'm no expert on the subject but that doesn't sound good. So the leaked email's and stuff from der speigel can be cast aside but it's the documents that we as a club have actually provided to UEFA where they've found the evidence to charge us?

Written by Tony Evans who is a complete bellend. His article is also factually incorrect.

Some don't but most do. So the idea that most of us don't like it is wrong.

I have never said most I said some, winning the chumps league is like winning herpes IMO. How anyone can support a competition run by the cabal is beyond me.

Simple solution - thanks for sweet fuck all .

And brilliantly debated too.

There is no debate to be had.

You've formed the view the CL is bent and therefore you dont like it.

I agree it's bent but it doesn't stop me enjoying when I get to go to a European superpower or to some obscure minnow.

It doesn't stop me enjoying it when we go to Real Madrid and school them with a classic CL away performance.

It doesn't stop me enjoying when the anthem plays and I know my club is there in the thick of it.

Life is bent. It doesn't stop me enjoying it though.

This is an interesting article in the Independent today, basically UEFA appear to be saying their evidence and reason for the ban is based on documentation provided by City, not the hacked emails.

Interesting? That's just regurgitated crap that has been in the public domain for awhile.

This is true but some blues don't, and they are right not to IMO, we don't all subscribe to the belief that winning the chumps league is a yardstick of "Doing well".

I'm of the belief that winning it will be the ultimate insult from the club. They do their best to keep us down but we go and win their precious tournament anyway and that's a massive up yours to UEFA. That's why I want to win it. Win it once, make the point, then to be honest they can fuck off and keep their competition, we can always dine on that single success. We should have cut a deal with UEFA whereby they let us win it this year and then we take a lifetime ban!

But we know the CL is the ultimate in commercial opportunities for the club and what makes the big bucks. Being involved in it secures us so much revenue it helps us improve our squad and compete domestically, so we just have to accept the CL is the pinnacle from a business perspective.

If we get to the final we should all boycott it this season.

We're doomed. The President of CAS has just made an announcement.

True, however, nothing new.

This has concerned me since the email referring to the ‘two lines’ of income. If I remember rightly, there was a line which had a figure for Etihad and one for ADUG? Can anyone recollect this?

Fuck it Ste, lets just go back to Galway

Just heard of a possible announcement at 6pm? Anymore people with the inside track heard this?

Another enjoyable aspect of being in the CL is that it deprives one of the past beneficiaries of the income they had come to expect as their right. Indeed, one or two of them have based their entire business model on that expectation.
