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

[tolmie's hairdoo]

We met with them and heard nothing back for three weeks, despite assurances.

The next day, Uefa had kicked it up to their upper chamber.

This is a very clever move by City on a number of fronts.

There's no way we should get punished for this. Even a money penalty would be ridiculous

   Your talking shite Man Utd are 400 million in debt but make profits every year and even pay dividends to share holders each year? Bizarre I know......be effed if I understand it ?

Man Utd and Spurs are both heavily in debt but through borrowings. The fact the borrowings are for completely different things is besides the point. Boltons debt is from living beyond their means for 10 years.

A shot across the bow from our side, perhaps? The gentleman's club that is UEFA is now officially skating on thin ice...

There is the other way to read this of course. UEFA challenge our documentation from previous FFP breach. We give them 100 pages of evidence knowing that it will take them over the 5 year deadline.

So UEFA have to jump the gun hoping they have a watertight case. City then jump in to CAS knowing they couldn't have gone through it all.

Fucking hell, you should take up chess.

Think its 500m but we dont actually know with them being so secretive with there cayman Islands accounts! But debt will ruin a club just say the rags keep dropping down the league missing out on the 80m champs league it would put them in deep shit and just imagine they got relegated thats them missing out on at least 200m the bailiffs be knocking on the door.

Balanced reporting as always from Ian Herbert, ffs.

Looks like we’ve had enough of uefa holding the sword of Damocles over our head.
We’re not going to dance to their tune anymore.
‘Shit or get off the pot, uefa’.
That’s enough metaphor mixing.

As long as you are aware that @Damocles is a CITY fan ,)

The UEFA lower chamber asked City questions - the result was the 100 page document. City were promised there’d be dialogue. City heard nothing. UEFA then passed it up to the upper chamber - obviously inferring a level of guilt. City now taking legal action on the basis that the lower chamber did not undertake a proper transparent investigation. I’m guessing Uefa panicked given they were out of time. Suspect we will win in court because I very much don’t uefa have followed their own procedure. Things getting tasty.
