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

[Gordyola]

Didn’t I read recently that Ian Cheeseman was denied press credentials for the Etihad so was unable to go to games. I don’t know what he tweeted earlier but if it’s true he isn’t considered bona fide press by the Club I would think it highly unlikely they have leaked anything to him.

The project restart stipulates which media organisations had access to games Ian is a freelance now and wasnt included so the club couldn’t give him a pass he was somewhat upset and also he lost his official vblog status Maybe it was leaked to him as a consolation

I trust Ian Cheeseman 100%.
Hes a sensible level head bloke and even though hes been fucked around by the BBC and City to an extent he is a passionate fan, who wouldn't have posted such a precise bit of Information without knowing something.
That and Peps upbeat demeanour today,
We will be exonerated.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

That about sums it up, yeh. Doesn’t take much to start a riot on here. I’m sticking with the old “expect the worst and anything else is a bonus” maxim personally!

No reason not to have a good drink over the weekend though.

Watson is managing to stay fairly calm after seeing Cheesy’s tweet.

Gosh, she's changed since her days as Harry Potter's moll.

 

[mccity]

Believe there is a board above CAS we could go to?

Judge Judy

Emma going to let this one go. ;-)

 

[cleavers]

Nothing has changed for myself, always been confident re a couple of private conversations but never known such a tight ship around info and City.

If City had a tight enough "ship" this thread wouldn't exist !

Blue is ready to rock n' roll

May be Cheesy was refused a press pass,but told he would have the big news break,obviously City didn’t,t release the news to the press.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What you make of the Cheesman and Sinclair tweets mate?

Informed guesses, not something I would be willing to do.

Both will have their own reasons. Ian tweet said might have an announcement today or Saturday?

Jesus, we know it's Monday at the latest and he only left out the Sunday!!

The vibes have been positive for two weeks but I can assure you not even some of our most senior media people have felt compelled to even call it in private to trusted go betweens.

That goes for earlier today also.

I'd say Ian and Trevor have a good chance of being right but it's not much different from what some posters have been sharing on here for a while.

More than unlikely.

 

[Dobsy]

No but he had this nack of being a right boring **** at parties.

I see. Well if you want to believe you have at it mate. I'll just be here waiting for the result and not calling people ****s

 

[gingerprince]

72 hours after Cheesy tweet, we will get the official announcement..............

Thx a tonne Cheesy!....Hopefully weather good get some gardening done...

 

[Cobwebcat]

Just to confirm, the only real cause for optimism so far is a tweet sent from Ian Cheeseman with information that he might actually have picked up from rumours on here?

And not a single other source be it well connected at City or in the media have any information to give, only Cheeseman?

Sounds legit...

Invited to any parties lately?

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

The longer it goes without anyone else of any substance at all saying we've been exonerated the more likely it is cheesy's had a gamble IMO

9.30am Monday.

Not quite, before Cheesemans tweet, 3 people posted pretty much the same on here, posters who've been members on here for years, one who has never really posted much but claims to have worked for uefa until recently, and 2 posters who post regularly. The "uefa" poster has only ever posted on this subject, and posted a thread back in November which we deleted because it seemed like the sort of thing a WUM might post, with promises of information, but no actual information, but he came back to post in here today that we'd been cleared.

So there is slightly more to the optimism, than just one tweet.

Who are the ITK poster and what did they actually say especially the one who was at UEFA

 

[cleavers]

Thanks, Cleavers. Could it be that one person has posted something and everyone else has followed the original 'ITK' comment though? I'd hope it's not the case, but it's the Internet and specifically a fans forum...

Of course it could, but the poster who doesn't post much, his comment wasn't really picked up by anyone, in fact we discussed deleting it again, but it's still there, and I think it was the first.

 

[fallowfield]

Correct.
No one else has said anything yet, not has he tweeted again to clarify further.
So, it means nothing until either of those things happens

 

[DrBlueBob]

That's about the strength of it.

You handsome old devil you.
