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

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Interesting that stories of us being exonerated are all over the internet, the club will be well aware of this and I am surprised that we haven't issued a denial if there is no truth to the stories.

All the club need to say is that we are aware of the rumours but at this time we are still awaiting confirmation of the decision from CAS.

This would put an end to it, I could understand it if it was reported that we had lost the appeal but we knew we had actual won.

There is no chance that the club would respond to anything regarding speculation about the outcome.

Cheesy needs to button it,nobody is going to know till monday,at best pep,txiki,soriano,mansour and khaldoon will know before and they are a tight ship

He might have his nose pushed out not being able to get in for the games (not being a journalist) but if he is breeching confidence he'll be having to go on the seasoncard waiting list because he'll get kicked out on his arse

Is Ian's last name really cheeseman or did he adopt it later?

He got fed up of the piss being taken out of ‘Ian stilton’

Adopted it later.

It was originally Shiteman.

Whilst the club remain confident of the outcome, they have not as yet been made aware of the CAS decision.

That’s pretty much the same as I’ve heard today tbh, from the few snippets I’ve had. Quite possible that the top hierarchy have been informed of the decision, but it’s certainly not an open secret at the club that we’ve won. Just hope Cheeseman’s tweet was well sourced. Going to be a long weekend either way.

ian cheeseman quote can be taken with a bit of tongue and cheek ? and it does not give the verdict as city have won the case ? he saying he feels city have won because of what he has heard around the football club ? cheesy must have many links behind the doors at city, if the people at city have been told you won, but been told to wait for the press embargo for 9.30am monday morning, then everybody working at the club will be walking around high as a kite right now and impossible to hide their feelings and a leak will be coming

Well I have caught up, by reading every 10th page so I have probably missed a fair bit.
I’m a bit irritated to wake up to this.
1. After 50 years I just can’t get excited until it’s official
2. After taking the moral high ground about UEFA leaks it seems that someone inside the club had leaked this
3. I had reached a level of calmness just cruising until Monday, now we’ve had a big fat carrot dangled in front of us but we have to wait 3 days before we can have it?
Fuck, as someone said about 50 pages ago, it’s the hope that kills you

Apparently the real HH gave evidence

I’d heard it was the real Slim Shady.

Very good point.

The club isn't going to make any official response to confirm or deny rumours. It's not their news to confirm or deny.

Yes but he is blue right through

Should we delete the template “WE’VE BEEN EXONERATED” and “WE’VE BEEN FOUND GUILTY” threads (each with matching tolmie-style YouTube music videos) waiting in the mod forum just to avoid tempting fate?

I've heard he saw Txiki, Ferran and Pep doing the conga around the car park. Could be that.

No but there is a good chance that city leak it to their trusted journalists if we have lost the case.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

That's the one thing that was pretty well guaranteed to exonerate us beyond reasonable doubt. Why wouldn't we use our ace?

It’s the equivalent of the Queen testifying at princess Anne’s hearing for a ban for doping her horse to win the Burlington horse trials

It didn’t happen

Maybe you’re right, I’m clinging to any positive view like a cling on hanging onto an arse hair.

He seems to know a lot of ex players as well, at least one of those might be well connected to the club still. All if's but's and maybe's though isn't it.
