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

[Marvin]

I've already posted this but clearly people don't read further back or have the memory of goldfishes. The parties will have been told the preliminary decision a few days ago, at the latest. The then have an opportunity to alert CAS to any fundamental errors in the judgement. Assuming there are none, the decision is then formalised and signed off.

I think (although I don't know for sure) that the parties may have been notified of the decision as long as 2 weeks ago.

I doubt though that we'll get anything other than a result on Monday so the need to consult parties over the wording of public statements would be redundant? I do think though that City and UEFA know by now.

Is that quaint obsolescent technology still used?

Surprisingly yes, still common in Japan I once read. The medical industry still use it a lot as well.

Pretty sure if cheesy has got this wrong he wont be safe at city games once fans are allowed back in

Really?

I am.old school.City and will wait till it's in writing. The one thing I do find odd is not a peep from the press/media. Normally they would be saying something, the press/media knew City were going to be banned before we had even appeal. They were all saying we are banned , never said City are banned subject to appeal, we were banned end of !.

I would have thought the leaks are out and both City and UEFA know the outcome just very odd how the press/media arent leaking anything.

True, Tony Evans even stated that we were going to be banned for three seasons.

Guys like Buzzer will be aware of any decision make no mistake and they are not top table and they do talk to many blues in and around the club.

I know folk hate the thought of anyone knowing things they dont but its the way of the world and leaks do happen.

Leaks do happen.

Just not to Vloggers who a few days back were “let go” by the club.

Also let’s be clear. Nothing has leaked to anyone of any repute yet. And it’s Saturday morning.

We'll officially get nothing other than a result on Monday. Whether the fuller judgement gets released depends on the agreement of both parties but I'd guess there will have been things said in the hearing that City would prefer to keep quiet, particularly about the funding of Etihad.

Ceferin, on the other hand, may be quite happy for the details to be released as it would help him clean out the stables and establish more of a power base, if it could be seen just how corrupt some of the UEFA key figures and groups were.

That will be because Laterme had been asked by Gill and Parry etc to go with a 3 year ban.

I agree with you,the point I was making was he is not our chief spokesman,so no credibility lost either way,even when he was on BBC he was a fan who was doing the dreamiest job ever,then he fucked it up,but he's never been a spokesperson in my eyes

Maybe. I still think he has a fair bit to lose. As I said earlier though, I’m not necessarily saying I think he’s acted a twat on this. At this point he’s someone I have a lot of time for and would be very surprised if it turned out he had gambled on making stuff up when he knows how worked up fans are about it.

Opinions. Mine is that Cheesy's entitled to his 2 pennyworth and if City were trying to let us know then this is how it would be done. Cheesy has spent his life following City and is well placed to pick up chatter. He could be either relaying chatter, or it could be a semi-official wink to City fans who are too nervous to accept it.

Oh do me a favour Marvin. Of course he is entitled to his opinion, and to express it, but then to leap to the conclusion that the top people at City have briefed someone who doesn’t even have press credentials at the club is a farcical notion. We are a very professional organisation, we have been patient for years, you really think we are going to brief Ian fucking Cheeseman 2 days before it will be announced anyway, and when we have been told not to announce it, and given we have criticised uefas leaks? Utter nonsense

In other words, you've heard nothing so everyone else must be winging it.

Possibly, we will never know.

Nonsense. IF it had been leaked to people at Buzzers level it would be all over the place by now

 

[BillyShears]

I guess if there is a ban we’ll know Ian was at best misinformed.

 

[Keeper!]

Cheese man has gone quiet .

hh has had him lynched

Had Ferran on the phone, any chance he had of a press pass , he's blown it.....BUT, did the club give him the info on purpose? good way of getting it out in public with no ramifications.

 

[hihosilva]

Ian Cheesman is on Tameside radio today 1 still 2. I'm sure he'll have something to say then.

So Colin you really think Ian Cheeseman knows this for a fact? I definitely think he is winging it

 

[Prophet of Doom]

Anybody relying on Friday's World Exclusive from Ian Cheeseman wants their bumps felt.

I'm honestly sick of reading this guys name. On Twitter the other day there was his regular flock of 20 followers demanding the club give him a lifetime 'press pass' !!!!!

He was sacked by the BBC. Had subsequent local radio shows cancelled. And has now had his 'match day vlogs' with City cancelled.

As sad as it is for the man, he is just too unfashionable for modern media. There is just not enough viewers or listeners interested.

There are wide scale redundancies across all media platforms. Do any other reporters having to rethink their careers campaign for a charity pass ??? Of course not.

And now he chooses to pull Friday's rabbit out of the hat which supporters desperate for good news latch on to.

I pray we are cleared on Monday, but Cheeseman's tweet was a desperate post from a desperate man which everybody should ignore.

The ratings will be huge.

 

[Keeper!]

Or he wanted the attention. There’s enough in his tweet for him to easily reverse out of it on Monday.

I also think it’s such a trolling move to tweet something like that when you have thousands of followers who are Blues and then disappear like Keyser Soze.

He is desperate for subs for sure, I can't see how the dude is making a living on 16k subs.
