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

[Summerbuzz]

Worried City fans can now help ensure good news, thanks to longtime secret forumite Uri Geller's Hairdo.

Blues are today urged to help City beat this trumped up charge   —  by rubbing this photo of boss Pep Guardiola's balding pate.

Psychic Uri said: “Everyone must focus — positive energy can help us.”

He is calling on Bluemoon to harness the power of positive thought to help ensure the Blues get a positive result tomorrow.

It is hoped the outpouring of energy might be just the boost City needs to quash the original verdict.

And the timing of 19.56 has a special significance for Blues as it matches the year of the Trautmann final.

Uri (real name Tolmie), 81 this year, insisted the positive energy from rubbing our picture could help swing the verdict - despite it already having been sealed last week.

He said: “I’ll be doing it — I believe in the immense energy of the mind.

“All humanity is attached via an invisible thread.

"We can use it to transfer positive, powerful intentions.

"My mother described this gift as 'Shining'.

“I am asking everyone and all the readers of Bluemoon to rub the screen with your freshly cleaned paws."

"Scientists tells us our minds are located in our brains. Pep's brain is located directly under his bald spot."

"Take this seriously and focus with your brain and your mind."

Just think positively and say, ‘I shine on thee, UEFA. Thou shall not constrict our trade in contradiction of the founding principles of European and English Law. Shine on, Pep. Shine on.’.

“Certainly if millions rub Pep's spot lovingly, there will be a surge of positive shine."

"Pep will get to Monday knowing millions of people love him despite his being a baldy. Maybe other bald city fans will take heart from this."

Give over!
The Italian clubs that were banned/relegated for misdemeanours haven’t suffered long term.

Those Italian clubs you speak of are their own version of footballing royalty.

We are not held in the same regard in this country.

Why would there be law suits?
We won't have broken any laws.
This is an internal club matter contained within UEFA.

If we are deemed to have cheated and as a consequence we have won a competition, it is not beyond the realms of possibilities that the runners up would try for compensation. They could imply loss of income from merchandise and prise money etc

Conn's article, nothing new here.

Well in this story Conn has repeated the earlier allegation that one email stated that "the remaining £57.5m (of Etihad payment) would be provided by City's owner Sheikh Mansour." That's simply not true is it because, as everyone on here knows, that email simply referred to HH.
He also claims in this latest story that UEFA have alleged that the Etihad money was "not paid by the Abu Dhabi airline." That's a change from his earlier stories which stressed that UEFA were alleging the money was "paid by City's owners." He's a disgrace.

reporting on the BBC website that it could go both ways ??

Wow! Really?

 

[happy]

your a rude fucker aren't you

In the last few pages I have been accused of not being a City fan, having a strange shaped head(?), being 'clever', rude and a reader of the Daily Mail.

All I have done is point out that some people have very basic flaws in comprehension and difficulty in articulating any sort of intelligent argument, I can't imagine that this is the first time that those involved have heard this?

 

[Sky Blue]

A one year ban sets the club back a generation.
A two year ban sets the club back a generation.
All or nothing tomorrow. If modern day City is something you've grown to like pray for a victory as a defeat, any sort of defeat, would be truly catastrophic.

If you think the press coverage and treatment by the football authorities here or in Europe has been bad thus far, you ain't seen nothing like what we would have to face if a bogus charge of cheating was made to stick.

This is a true existential crisis for the club I've supported my whole life. In the very truest sense of the word.

I'm surprised @Big Dave Watson hasn't liked this pile of shit.

The last time was

The last time was???

 

[Big Dave Watson]

I'm surprised @Big Dave Watson hasn't liked this pile of shit.

....and another one!

Funny how TH said much the same thing, without the generation bit, but you haven’t jumped on that.

 

[HolisticJim]

I keep thinking about how City would word the statement if we win and are exonerated tomorrow.

Would they say very little and thank CAS, eager to move on with the club...

Or would they hammer UEFA and word a statement slamming them for racism and a campaign designed to cause as much damage as possible?

I think I'd like them to say very little but in the back ground start legal action for damages caused and start bringing cases for slander.

I'm surprised @Big Dave Watson hasn't liked this pile of shit.

Give him time.

Looks like he's pulling a monty python gumbie face.

Ha come on, get a grip. A generation? We'd be minimum top 3 again next season

I don't think you get what's on the line here.

Every, and I do mean EVERY one of our top players would be asked every week when they are leaving.
Pep would be asked every week if he felt comfortable "working for owners that cheated" (think of the press conference after the cup final and x1000).
Every trophy won since 2011 would be brought into question ,every week, until the pressure to strip us of trophies "for provably cheating" mounted.
Every potential signing would be labelled a "cheat" if they even considered signing for us.
Our owners , already racially abused every week in the press, would be destroyed like never before.

Think of the very very worst stuff you've ever seen or heard or read being said about our club and imagine that being 1000 times worse and 1000 times more prolific and you still won't be anywhere close to how bad it would get.

This is about far more than just playing in a bent , corrupt, racist competition for a year or two.

It is about the football authorities manoeuvring in such a way that they and their friends in the racist western media can legitimately brand the club and anyone connected with it as cheats for the next 40 or 50 years.

It is anti Muslim hatred pure and simple.


Thankfully we are going to win though. They picked a fight with the wrong people.

I thought by 19.30 hours on Sunday we'd have something more to go off than Pep's demeanour. No one seems to know anything. Still this morning the argument was that CIty would have an embargoed decision and hence Pep's confident post-match interview was indicative of success.

Pep's demeanour (and words) are enough for me. Coupled with a strong belief that the club, and thus Pep, know.

 

[Summerbuzz]

Looks like he's pulling a monty python gumbie face.

That's why he needs your positive energy! Quick, rub him!

 

[Marvin]

I see the usual suspects are making the absolute most of this. Ignore them.

 

[franksinatra]

Those Italian clubs you speak of are their own version of footballing royalty.

We are not held in the same regard in this country.

Also culturally Italy is a very different country to the UK with regards acceptance of misdemeanours.

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Give him time.

Queuing up....

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Juventus recovered from much much worse.

They did. Juventus and Milan call the tune in Italy.

Akin to United or Liverpool being demoted here.

There is also the very different dynamic of how the Premier League is made up over here.

The smaller clubs are happy to just exist and take the money, majority voting blocks can bring anything to the table of there is an agenda that can force a consensus.

We were one of only four clubs who voted against FFP in the Premier League, even when it was clear who was driving the agenda.

 

[Sky Blue]

Give him time.

He replied to me within 2 seconds of posting. I shouldn't feed his negativity really. He gets off on it.
