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

[Gremlin]

Would the blue cones be a indication the decision is imminent or it’s imminence to being imminent...

I don't know - but I expect we'll find out imminently.

 

[Keeper!]

I can't wait for the shit storm to happen that's what Prestwich blue said

Wishful thinking, after Liverpool's past record in tragedy and "incidents" nothing sticks to them and even if they are guilty of something, it won't be their fault!

It would be reckless for City to buy Koulibaly for €80m (a crazy fee for a 29 year old in a post Covid environment) without knowing they were in the CL next season. I'd put good money that they won't. If it does happen, I think we can join the dots.

I don’t see it that way. Worse come to worse we get banned. We still need to build a team that will be capable of taking the Premiership back next season. With the defence we have now we have no chance.
So a solid investment of a player this quality makes sense. Yes he is 29. Still has 5 or six years left. 10-12m per season for one of the best 5 cb in the world is a no brainer

€80m equals £72M divided by five years is over £14 million a year
Add to that £150k a week wages (£7.8M) and the player is costing nearly £22M per season

Paying huge sums for player in their prime or past it should be an absolute no no

Can’t see a 29 year old of Koulibaly ‘s quality signing for a team banned from the C/L, so regardless of the money side doubt we could get him without knowing.

you don’t think we will sign him?

We need a player in their prime. We don't need someone who will be in their prime in 3 years. We need to win the league next year - and we need a top class centre half in their prime to do that

Wednesday marks 3 weeks since the end of the hearing. I can’t see us having to wait too much longer for the outcome. CAS said first half of July so that could be as early as Wednesday itself.

I read that with the voice of Sir Humphrey in my head.

Didnt they say the date of the decision would be given a few days in advance?

I think they will announce the date on Fri (3rd) and then the decision following Fri (10th)
