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

[tolmie's hairdoo]

C'mon mate, you watched Pep tonight. Thats not the demeanor of a man being dragged to the gallows Monday morning.

We've won.

I'm sure that's the case but we're all in the dark until Monday.

I generally knew I would always get what I asked for at Christmas but that didn't stop me feeling nervous on Xmas Eve.

Sometimes I'd have asked for a pair of Adidas and I got Nikes, so until I got to see what was in the box...

 

[HolisticJim]

Just need to get this off our backs and then sign Kaka and the world will be bright again.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

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.

Of course, but trying not to see things that might not be there/confirmation bias, etc.

Pep is a smart man and I'm quite happy to just relax and wait.

Confident without being celebratory just yet.

I get it ...you’re a 95 percent man. Me too.

You know the only poster that has been 100% from start to finish is @Prestwich_Blue What a guy! Nerves of steel

99.9% actually... his words not mine

You are right..I rounded up ;-)

 

[Shads]

Thanks for the clarification.

Genuinely can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not...?

A very smart man. He’s clearly under instruction, and for very obvious reasons, to wait until Monday.

However, that doesn’t stop him from communicating in a different way to the fan base. He can say it, but not actually say it.

The pessimist will tell me that ultimately it’s just my interpretation of his manner, personally I think it’s just a decent level of common sense.

I may well be wrong. But I’m not ;-)

Baines' eh? Christ, that takes me back. My mate Graham used to work in there. Bought my school trousers from there and my first tie for work.

 

[Cobwebcat]

The motivation to win the CL this year will be huge if it is a win. We will be like a team possessed riding on the back of Pep’s speeches. We are playing very well right now too ...the team seem focused and determined. I even believe the refs wouldn’t dare cheat us.

Come on.

 

[Pam]

I fucking resent all of this.

Fuck that, I want us to snatch Wesley Sneijder from under the rags noses.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Try Cillit bang or maybe Barrie Scott.

Sporting Intel next would be my guess.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I fucking resent all of this.

Imagine if all this results in a siege mentality that means we win the thing.

Ultimate pay back. Every cloud...

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

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

We all know it stands for Robert in Cheadle.

 

[Shads]

Can't help but feel if we have nothing to hide
Why are we burying it ?

Those are the rules of the Arbitration. You get the Judgment and keep it quiet until officially announced. Oh yeah and we are professional...

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

If the club know the decision , 100% Pep knows it as well , he is vital to the near future of the club and will be kept in the loop , i take nothing from his pressers because we are not certain the club have been informed of the decision , apparently CAS close for the weekend and re-open 9am Monday (euro time zone). So by my possibly flawed thinking the club were told at the latest Friday , so they can prepare statements and their response.
Quite amazed there hasnt been a leak , if UEFA had won some f*cker at that corrupt organisation wouldnt be able to wait two/three days to spill, and that is the hope i am tenuously clinging to.

 

[BlueTG]

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?

Or;

Cheeseman knows we went to CAS.

Cheeseman knows there’s a preliminary verdict given to both sides.

Cheeseman says the club know we’ve won

The club look on with a wry smile, tho a little disappointment at the gossip from a respected individual, that he in fact doesn’t know as a matter of fact for himself, but the club know and it’s all fine.

Everyone bought their uniform from there.

Knew Graham myself, good footballer.
