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

I think it is likely the players will complain about the bonus structure if we were banned. They signed contracts with chunky bonuses being impossible through no fault of their own. Easy for City to compensate but yet more bottom line cost.

I’d be far happier to see our best players stay with increased bonuses/compensation (if we’re banned) then have parasitic clubs trying to unsettle and push for low ball sales.

They just know a lot of Kev's current contract is weighted against participating in the Champions League.

Irrespective, aside from the verdict, the biggest thing I am looking forward to is Pep's promise to give his views on it.

Dynamite.

I'm certain we have had a positive result.

I honestly think Pep is going to tell it as it is when he gives his views on this whole process, as you say dynamite...

tbh this is why I don't understand those posters saying they will feel let down by the club if we lose the appeal.

Surely we could be convinced of our position and yetr the decision not go our way . Doesn't mean as far as I am concerned that the club are lying to us.

I would feel let down by the club. A lot of this has come from leaked emails with some very daft and concerning phrases that there was no need for regardless of the opinion on UEFA and FFP.

If you don't want somebody to find out about something, don't document it in any form.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Just out of curiosity, if City win, could/would UEFA make any attempt to appeal the decision?

I’m not sure if it would be worth it part of the agreement might be no appeals and would just be more costs anyway.

I’ve suspected all along that UEFA see us as a making money machine. They know we can afford to pay our debts and fancy the wedge that’s why they are chasing us with trumped up charges since the day Khaldoon took the pinch. Let’s hope we get a chance to tell them so.

Pep: Is very complicated. We played a nice game. Best defence this season. I love Mr. Harris.

If we win we should use the ‘CAS Defence’ next season..

Shame the UK media have already decided what position they will report from if we are successful so any words from Pep will be twisted or ignored.

 

[Damanino]

If there is fear in the club, there might not be that much confidence in a positive outcome.
But certainly Txiki and his team has to make sure to plan ahead for worst case scenario.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Why so certain Tolm? The mood and stuff or ?

I've just not been hearing a lack of positiveness since the CAS hearing took place. Our counsel will be highly-skilled enough to ascertain the probabilities in the immediate aftermath.

Even in the last couple of days, believing City have now been informed, the message hasn't changed.

My own take.

 

[Shaelumstash]

I'm certain we have had a positive result.

Why so, mate? Fuck me, I hope you're right.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

The only reason I doubt that Ceferin offered us a token fine for a technical breach is that we'd have been stupid not to take it.
