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

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

How does that work exactly, both know, but won't find out till Monday ?

There’s no till in there, so it makes perfect sense.

I can’t see anything other than some sort of punishment and ban being upheld or even increased. For it get this far and the future of FFP is at stake they will want to make an example of us. I’ll be shocked if it’s anything other than a 2 year ban and hope I’m proved wrong.

The future of FFP? Have you been following Mr WUM?

If you ****ing post another six hour Philip Glass concerto in the Transfer forum you’re getting a one day ban for every time I want to rip off my (sizeable) ears and beat him with them.

So around a year off.

I was thinking more along the lines of Godley and Creme!

I don’t know much but I’d agree with that. This is an administrative case what could Shiek Mansour possibly have to offer and even if he did I doubt he would 1) entertain the idea in the first place but 2) no way he would open himself up for something which, let’s face it, is pretty small in his world

I can’t imagine for a second that he knows or even cares about the ins and outs of City’s books and FFP standing. It’s for the birds that he gave spoken evidence

I think they care deeply about the reputation of Abu Dhabi

[Cellarite]

No. He needs the bandwidth for Tolmie's Juke Box classics. As promised!

Tolmie - 10 years I’ve been on here. Not a single complaint. I’ve loved your summer “It’s quiet” threads.

Tell me to enjoy my weekend man. For the love of Christ, will you tell me to enjoy my fucking weekend?

Poor effort.

I don’t know either, but he does own the company we were being accused of funnelling the money through.

Which, in my opinion, is exactly why he wouldn’t say a word. This isn’t a criminal court and City being banned is one thing but it coming out that the national airline is a front would do untold damage

Where Etihad get their money from is irrelevant. The deal is in line with similar across football and there would be no way on earth they would open their books to UEFA, under any circumstances

Either way. I think we will be doing the Carlito Brigante at 10am on Monday - “Free at last, free at last!”

Doesn't sound beyond credibility unfortunately... in fact odd lies if they are

The future of FFP has absolutely nothing to do with this. City have already been prosecuted for these ‘offences’, these are trumped up charges unless of course City are as bent as a 9 Bob note. Which I doubt

If this is thrown out, FFP will still exist. I imagine City are quite happy with FFP now as it stops competition

The guy currently running UEFA has distanced himself from this matter(from memory). So with that, the settlement agreement, UEFA’s own rules which time bar them from prosecuting and that City surely can’t be this wrong on their specialist subject, I expect City to win

In last week's interview with Gab Marcotti (a proper journalist) Ceferin stressed that FFP was being modified to allow more investment from owners. In fact he said work on the new rules was under way but they were not yet ready to go public with the details. FFP is here to stay and will be improved.

Have you ever watched evidence being given? This was a 3 day hearing - that is very short. Amanda Staveley was cross examined for at least 8 days on her own in the recent trial.

The CAS announcement mentioned teams in London and experts elsewhere. Allowing for submissions when exactly are we to believe this procession of royalty and others were cross examined? And why was verbal evidence required? The documents should have been sufficient. In short, I don't believe any of these individuals gave evidence. I'm not even convinced anyone gave witness evidence - seems unlikely to me. We shall see.

Perhaps written statements might be admissible?

That will be Bertie Magoo - Bitter Blue - Red Issue pisstake.

Without an opportunity to cross examine? Seems unlikely to me.

Poor effort.

CAS dont work on the thought of FFP being damaged they look at the facts of the appeal and Citys case v UEFA . If they judge for us the future of FFP wont be a consideration.
