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

[SebastianBlue]

What was Galatasaray’s CAS appeal all about?

This Forbes article is a fairly good summary of the outcome of the appeal. It didn’t strike down FFP, but it did plant the seeds for a more comprehensive challenge, should a club with sufficient resources to mount one choose to pursue it.

He’s also the reason we didn’t win the league in 1973 despite being top with a 4pt lead. We signed him mid-season and ended up 4th.

Sorry mate, but I disagree. Malcolm Allison was the reason we lost the league. He talked the Board into buying him and put him straight into the team when he was clearly not match fit. We were virtually playing with 10 men.

I don't know if it's worrying, but a couple of blues that have met me in the past reckon I look a bit like him. Might have to have a talk with me mam.

There are worse people to look like.

I could be wrong, but my reading of that threat is that they wouldn’t make public the evidence, and I don’t think an appeal to CAS requires public disclosure. However, if we take the appeal further and/or mount a case against FFP itself, the evidence will have to be made public unless sealed by the court officials presiding.

Ceferin will be claiming the dog ate it.

100% , he really wasn’t required.

And following on from the success of Galataseray, PSG also won their appeal https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...int-germain-decision-upheld-cas-a8830166.html

However, if we take the appeal further and/or mount a case against FFP itself, the evidence will have to be made public unless sealed by the court officials presiding.

The fact that they made that assertion in the first place, though, tends to make one believe they aren’t entirely confident that the evidence for their decision is sufficient and/or comprehensive within the context of statutory review. I know from a few reports about UEFA’s concerns with the Galatasaray CAS appeal there is a contingent within the organisation that don’t believe FFP would stand up to scrutiny if framed as illegal restriction of trade and investment.

Is this what we have been waiting for?
So we can totally destroy this shit

And it left Tony Towers in the shadows, who up till that point had an amazing season.A player like Marsh was not needed at the time.
