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

[Ban-jani]

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

How do you know?

Two respectable posters on here have both received the same info.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Very good point.

If the club responded to every rumour on a Friday night they’d have no time to actually run the club

City don’t talk about anything. Ever. The idea that they would quash a Friday night rumour(assuming they didn’t put it out in the first place) is for the birds

City don’t do fan communication. They certainly won’t be commenting on the Tweets of a potentially disgruntled ex-radio commentator*

* That isn’t to discredit Ian Cheesemans work, I’m merely highlighting they don’t communicate. It took them days to do a camera interview re the charges in February.

We are not Liverpool, like it or not or lot keep quiet

 

[Ted_Bovis]

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

Nah, His original name was Ian Hamancheeseman.

 

[remember arthur mann]

If that's what has actually happened. Maybe the person who Ian Cheeseman trusts have themselves passed on a rumour they caught on the wind.

 

[oakiecokie]

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 wanking around high as a kite right now and impossible to hide their feelings and a leak will be coming

Amended if true !!

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Interesting news that I've been told is that another of our witnesses at CAS was HH Sheikh Mohammed himself, who testified that the money for the Etihad & other sponsorships came from him, via the Crown Prince Court, and not ADUG.

If that's true then case closed and we've won.

I don’t know if I dreamt it up, but I always thought that when the Etihad deal was first unveiled it was announced that Sheikh Mohamed would cover the cost of the sponsorship of MCFC?

 

[ancoats]

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

hahahahah

 

[cleavers]

Then there was that post from the ex-UEFA employee saying we’d won (not sure about that poster to be fair)

He posted a thread back in November (when he claimed he was working at uefa), we deleted it, as we thought between us all that it was probably just a WUM, he posted a couple of other posts in here, but not the info he claimed to have, he hadn't posted again until today, and he said "it has been overturned", so there are plenty of other reasons for optimism, the biggest for me though is the usual media skrikes saying nobody will know till Monday, I suspect they also know, and if it was the other way round the headlines tomorrow would be jam packed full of it, regardless of the official news not being till Monday.

 

[drthingy]

She always was a good listener

 

[oakiecokie]

Yes but he is blue right through

Only the one big blue vein.

 

[Ric]

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

Yeah, not a cat in hell’s chance we’ll get an official statement from the club before 9.30am on Monday. It’s possible they’d discretely downplay the rumours stemming from Cheeseman’s tweet though.

 

[SebastianBlue]

We are not Liverpool

We’ve finally found our new Latin motto.

 

[pudge]

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.

To be fair, I may be wrong, but the club usually only issues such corrections/statements when there's widespread reporting of something rather than the odd Twitter murmur.

 

[northendenton]

Nah, His original name was Ian Hamancheeseman.

And when he was young he got in a pickle with the spelling hence the change

 

[BongoBlue]

We’ve finally found our new Latin motto.

Sumus notus Dipperus? :)

 

[OliMCFC]

The club are probably getting spammed with off the record requests. They'll almost certainly know as CAS like most courts aren't open on weekends. Statements/videos ready to go. The way Pep was talking it sounded as if he'd been told. Very confident etc etc. Who knows, but anyone claiming to be ITK, Cheesy or the likes are putting their necks on the line and risking the club's wrath regardless. If I were Khaldoon, Txiki, Ferran etc I'd be staying deadly silent until 9.30am Monday morning.

If I was Ferran, I’d be drafting my resignation letter, just in case......

 

[Mid Wales blue]

One, or two, speculating about the possibility of Sheikh Mansour having given evidence.

If you think about this logically.

With the "HH" thing being open to UEFA own interpretation.And UEFA deeming it incriminating.

It could play a Key roll in the CAS out come.

A Man of his standing etc.

Me speculating.

Carry on speculating Sid James ;-D

If we had lost there is no way the club would leave the positive Cheeseman narrative out there because it would double the blow on Monday for all our staff, clients, customers, sub-contractors, and our fans. They would immediately contact him and ask him to take the tweet down. He was the BBC Manchester Reporter covering City for decades and knows everyone at the club. I trust him 100 per cent on this one.
The line that City and UEFA don't yet know the result is just to fend off the press to try and keep it out of the Sunday papers because City are embarrassed that something has leaked out at our end (probably not deliberately) and we made such a fuss about the leaks from UEFA.
