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

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Don't know how much truth is in clubs writing to CAS about preventing our participation but according to my legal understanding this request would and should be shot down without a hearing.

You can't ask for punishments when there are legal avenues available and especially when an appeal is under process. If anything, cıty can apply for stay against original verdict/order till the disposal of appeal which would basically ensure next season participation considering the times we are in as any hearing on city's appeal is unlikely in near future

Daily Express saying city were surprised by Liverpool’s involvement.

I find this very hard to believe, anyone with any sense at all knows they’re very close to the heart of it

Nearly as surprised as me when yesterday my neighbour went into his greenhouse and started chucking bricks about

What I find funny and amazingly stupid is someone, Gill ? Parry ? contacted all the other clubs and told them to write individually to a specific solicitor. This means they contacted Sheff Utd not realising they are owned by a Saudi big wig. Are these people so stupid ? well I suppose the answer is yes, oh and it is obvious who told City what was happening.

They are that stupid, it would not surprise me if they asked us ourselves to write a letter

I suspect City are being very coy and keeping their cards close to their chest ... and then unleash a megaton of shit at those involved.City know alright.

Hope so man!
Would love us to take them down.

same here. I truly hope that we have evidence of how certain clubs have used possibly both illegal activity and underhand tactics to get us removed.

it could be a number of scenarios, the lfc hacking would have forced us to employ an IT scientific investigator to complete a full system investigation, this could have uncovered more wrong doing ? Not sure how much truth was in the article written by footballisfixed, but they implied lfc were illegally buying information from inside our club

when Soriano mentioned he has friends in uefa and a power struggle of some sorts has been going on, maybe these friends have passed on info of who and what is involved towards ourselves

I will keep my fingers crossed that we hold many cards that will be played at the right time

What is evident is that I do not think that our owner will allow such an attack on his infrastructure to go unpunished, the people behind all this need to understand that they are not attacking little old City but in fact they are attacking Shiehk Mansour

 

[doobyedoobye]

What was the point in writing the letter?

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

I suspect this letter is made up bollocks. The ban will likely be suspended regardless of us asking for a suspension or others demanding it is imposed purely as part of due legal process while appeals are heard.

 

[bluebaja]

Relaxed ffp? Does that mean we could in theory go and buy Mane, Salah and vvd at prices Liverpool just couldn’t refuse. How funny would that be

And then loan them out to Sheffield United...

 

[give it to gordon]

Sorry if this has been covered as I havent been keeping up with football lately but I have one question.

Due to this terrible virus, and the possible delay in the CAS hearing.

And I understand football might not be going ahead anyway

But if champions leagues goes ahead next season and we are ban because of a delay to our hearing at CAS. Than once CAS has found us not guilty will City be able to sue UEFA for loss of income for that season we have missed through not fault of our own ?

 

[Dirty Harry]

What was the point in writing the letter?

You'd think each individual clubs legal department would have advised accordingly, thus told it's fuck all to do with us and we have no say in the matter whatsoever.
