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

Well over 4400 pages and I think this could be my first input. My thoughts are 'Who gives a fuck what the result is!'

Seriously this club has existed longer than any of us has been alive and will still be here after we are all dead. In that time we've been crap, average and good, and whatever happens today this cycle will continue.

Hopefully that has put a little perspective on it ;-)

The club have been given the decision.

I've always been pessimistic about this.

The club's constant insistence of being "confident" has always rang hollow to me because they were "confident" back in 2014 right up until we were sanctioned, and they were also "confident" right up until we got the 2 year ban

I've also wondered whether Pep's statements about believing what the club has told him was a kind of warning or a setting of the stage for an exit if we do get banned. Basically the line given after a Pepxit would be one of broken trust with higher ups moreso than anything else.

Wasn't until Cheeseman mentioned potential exoneration tht i got my hopes up but he could have based that on someone at the club being "confident" again or baseless wishful thinking on his part rather than on anything concrete he has heard.

Needless to say I'm bracing myself for endless reports of players wanting to leave, bust ups etc.

I wonder what's going on at the Etihad at the moment... Early start for some I bet.?

A Etihad A380 is ready to do a fly past of UEFA Headquarters with a banner trailing behind it " in your dreams, love Sheik Mansour"

Can't shake the feeling we will loose today. But by god I hope I am wrong. Working this morning, but this thread will be on refresh every minute or so from 9:30. Keeping fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed for a positive decision.

Was really hoping to log on here this morning and see some posts with important news, nada, zilch, sweet fa, diddly squat. Half nine it is then.

When have things ever gone in City's favour, let's hope it all changes today

Out of interest would anyone consider a reduced 1 year ban a loss/victory ?
I think it’d be a pleasing result.

Wonder what spin the BBC and other non biased media companies will use to come up with their headlines should we win.

A). Manchester City have been totally exonerated of any wrongdoings, and are able to compete in the UCL

B). UEFA unable to convince CAS that Manchester City had committed serious breaches of misconduct and has had to reluctantly drop all charges, allowing the club to participate in its prestigious competition.

mmmh

I suspect it will be ‘City Exonerated, we look at how it affects Liverpool and United’.

Ha, was just going to post the same. Oh well, SSN is on in the background so we'll see shortly.
