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

[Proy]

Pep’s said pretty much word for word the exact same “on the pitch” line on MOTD. It’s clearly been rehearsed / planned.

Make of that what you will.

You can say the same thing a thousand times. It doesn’t change the message.

There are some on here who are still treading more than a little carefully, and I can understand given our DNA but I don’t agree with it.

It is as clear as the sun in the fucking sky on a clear day.

We have won.

Try Cillit bang or maybe Barrie Scott.

It would make sense that City and UEFA have been told the verdict, but that it’s strictly embargoed until the official announcement. Would explain the lack of leaks out of the club, and if we’re pleased with the way CAS have handled the appeal it would be bad form to not respect the embargo. No real reason for UEFA to leak either if they’ve lost. All supposition, of course.

Totally agree.

But if they KNOW he doesn’t know, and he said we were exonerated....

surely that means...

Tolm? Still confident?

I presume they know he doesn't know because it is confined to a very small circle of senior execs, that's all.

That was the username I was originally going to take, before I opted for this one.

The club are very disappointed with Cheesy, I'll leave it at that. Not because he has betrayed a confidence, but because they know he doesn't know and thought better of him than that.

So with that logic they could only possibly know that he doesnt know because either they themselves dont know or they know that we've lost... yeah?

 

[BringBackSwales]

so his comment on the verdict could well just be out of spite.

No I don’t think he would do that, he loves City

You have the power to change it.

Do it Monday after we are exonerated, just for the day :)

I wonder if there's been a few, 'I can't say anything, but I'm in a good mood' kind of statements around the club. That's obviously speculation from me though.

That’s how I took it.

With Peps interview....I think most of us agree he knows...you said that yourself.

Given that don’t you think he’s saying some pretty weird things if we’ve lost?

This is a smile and a wink and a win.
