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

[waspish]

UEFA considers that City have committed "serious breaches" of the FFP regulations by "overstating its sponsorship revenues" between2012 and 2016. Am I correct in believing that this is the first time any doubt about City's accounts for this period have been raised? Am I correct in believing that UEFA declared City (and PSG) to be released from all penalties in 2015 because of the club's conformity to the FFP regulations? I presume UEFA have informed the club which sponsorship deals have been overstated and what information has proved this. My opinion is that if UEFA are not on rock solid ground they are in serious trouble. Not only will they have to make their case in CAS they can expect action in the commercial courts against them by the club but also by some heavyweight sponsors who will be feeling mightily aggrieved. This is in addition to examinations of process and procedure employed by UEFA and the personnel involved. UEFA are playing a very risky game and a strategy of hoping that a very heavy sanction may persuade City to take another pinch - if that is what UEFA intend - will not work. I still feel, though, that CAS will save UEFA's bacon by upholding City's appeal that the procedure was so flawed that the verdict cannot be upheld. The question then will be whether City are prepared to push for punitive damages... What do you think the mood in Abu Dhabi is a

What gets me is our accounts are looked at every seasons by Uefa and they pass them!

The thing I'm struggling with most about all this is Jim White barely containing his glee.

Cnut.

Use the remote and turn it over.

This could ignite our season. In the unlikely event that any players are reading this thread “go get em”

Accounts the PL will have seen and had to ratify as well btw unless they are next to think its open season so lets try and kick them out of our league as well?

I think it could get reduced to a one year ban and still the fine . 2 years will fuck our transfers up no doubt about that though

I’m pretty confident that the club will not accept any punishment at all so they will take this as far as possible

Let war begin.

To CAS we go then.

It could be a pyrrhic victory if it reactivates Sheikh Mansour.

You can see how it works when Simon Stone says



Man Utd, UEFA, Liverpool, and the media working hand in glove, and they are quite brazen about it.

If CAS are genuinely independent then they will see this for what it is.

We will win the champions league this season then paint it blue and sling it to these bent eufa ba***rds
