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

I haven't seen UEFA's case myself but I'm as sure as I can be. My source isn't the club on this by the way. It's someone I believe has insight into UEFA and FFP.

I agree with Ric let’s just wait and see. People have been confident in many aspects in the past and got it incredibly wrong. A CAS case can easily go bad. If it was as simple as PB is suggesting this would’ve got thrown out at CAS1

my personal belief though is the whole thing is a smear campaign to damage city’s rep. That job is done. Even if we get found not guilty and CAS throw the case out, people will still call city cheats, that’s the truth. This impacts the club in attracting future fans, future sponsors and most importantly future players. The damage is irreversible done. I have had people tell me even if we win at CAS that we’re still cheating scum and it’s only because expensive lawyers got us out of it on some technicality.

The only way this damage gets undone is if city actually go for the jugular and counter-sue for damages and get money back. But I just can’t see the club go down that path, we never have

Could you expand on what you mean by ‘thrown out at cas1’?

It’s strange times and I don’t know if we should laugh or cry only City could become really good but still have have this huge negativity about us. Posters bravely put on this facade about not caring about other people’s opnions but huge threads develop about media and institutional bias against us. We win pretty much every domestic trophy going for 2 years and we can still not get due credit. We are swimming against a tsunami my fellow blues

We will never know just as he was about to clear up this long divisive debate by proclaiming the true answer Jack Ruby shot him. I believe Ruby was seen eating a madras not but 10 minutes earlier, others say it was a vindaloo.

Ruby Murray.

FFS you clown. Is this why you have abandoned all reasoning? That's not true at all.

Read up on the fucking thread. The emails are just emails, not financial records and they are out of context. We already know at least 1 of the 4 is wrong because it states ADUG paid the Etihad deal which we know for a fact is not true. It's not doctored, it's just 2 people discussing something that didn't actually happen in the end.

The emails do not have to be doctored for the club to be innocent, so you can drop the desperate attempts to cling on to the idea they are.

We don’t know for a fact that ADUG paying for the Etihad deal isn’t true.

No one knows any facts aside from the people directly involved, everything else is just wait and see, none of this has any certainty round it at all.

Im not really interested in the length of time for which you have known him, with the greatest of respect to you.

In terms of the notepad and pen, and what the media may do, I’d suggest that you haven’t been paying attention to the headlines and story’s over the last 5 years.

It is not personal. I was reacting to a post, one that I disagreed with.

Your post read like someone who knows him and subsequently wanted to defend, without actually addressing the material matter of my point.

Like I said earlier, probably best I leave it alone.

Let me put this in a better way. It seems my recent idea that tact and politeness is overrated is yet again bearing fruit.

You don't know what you're talking about, you don't understand the situation and your reading of the post is at best off base and at worst stupid.

Alright pudding?

We know that a leaked Etihad internal financial report from Booz Allen states they got the funding from the Executive Council.
