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

[Saddleworth2]

Just caught up with the overnight thread. Some fantastic stuff on here. A source of debate, analysis and new information you wouldn’t find anywhere else.

It's not an article mate - he was on Talkshite this morning talking......shite!

Ziegler has been on there a few times slagging us off. Not surprised if it was him.

Say we win this what happens to the premiership case against us is that one over to?

So assuming that the Etihad sponsorship is the main crux of UEFA's prosecution, and the email that's been floated about is their main piece of evidence...

City sign sponsorship deal with Etihad
Etihad can't afford to pay the full amount
The UAE (NOT ADUG) agree to bail them out and pay the sponsorship deal - as it's government owned
An internal club email is sent, that on one hand (if you're scouse) looks dodgy, but on the other actually looks like someone pointing out that we need an audit trail
City are successful and pose a threat to the entitled ones
UEFA look for anything they can use as a stick to beat us
A hacker (who may or may not have been UEFA funded in some way - this needs to be looked into even if they merely paid for the docs) steals documents including said email
Der Speigel with Bayern's best interests at heart leak said email
UEFA get so wet they can't keep their power dry - and charge us

Is that about the crux of it?

Add said e-mail obvioulsy rules out Shiekh Manour as the man puttting the money in as who it was is referenced to was not his excellency it was his highness.

A thing our journis don't seem to be understanding.

I expect it will all come out

Juves fiat sponsorship which was substantially increased prior to the ronaldo deal.
Fiat which is owned by the Agnelli familly
The same Agnelli who is Juves president and whos sons godfather is supposardly Cefarin.

Get your facts straight. Also, FFP is one of the things we're in no danger of breaking. We're constantly controlled and checked upon by every financial regulatory body in Italy.

I suppose having a ping pong player pontificating in the national media as some sort of football expert shows a degree of diversity.

Now that Boris is PM, Syed should be referred to as a "whiff whaff" player.

ive been feeling a bit low with football recently for a number of reasons such as VAR, racism in the game, the media, everyone hating us etc. Banning us from that dogshit competition, the prospect of us losing our 2014 title and rumours of our players and manager potentially moving should be the final nail - quite the opposite, if anything its reaffirmed to me how much City means to us all. f*ck the lot of them. Strip us of the title, ban us from Europe - even relegate us if you want - we'll rip up the championship like we did in 2001. CTID

Listening to that PB with Cheesy it’s hard to see how CAS won’t make some amendments to the ruling
If they’re ( CAS ) are first and foremost going to insure correct procedures were followed and we were not even allowed to present a defence ?
Underhanded tactics must be suspected

The RDAHUEFAMeedya will never let go of the bone. A pack of hyenas, surrounded by skunks and rattlers. The worst among the animal kingdom.

Are you saying fiat didn't do deals and move money about prior to the ronaldo signingthat helped them be able to secure his signature.

Also laughable any Juve fan can criticise any other club of being dodgy.
