CAS was different I can't be arsed searching but both 'sides' could [ick one panel member & had to both agree the other.

Hence, it was always going to be a 2-1 scoreline.

Yes the UEFA pick was Ulrich Haas based in Zurich Switzerland who has a regular gig as their choice on CAS tribunals.

Anyone think the premier league may offer us a settlement

More than likely.

A deal will be struck. There are so many bodies buried by the PL, they won't want a protracted shit show. They've been threatened into this by, a. The two clubs who constantly want more for themselves, up to and including leaving for the ESL, and b. Stocking the PL hierarchy with their own people to push for it. It could utterly end the PL could this. And, c. The PL shitting itself because the government are so unhappy with their so obviously corrupt self-regulation that they have gone as far as a White Paper...due to be published this week, how oddly coincidental.

Absolute horse shit.

Woke up this morning and felt a need to write something as a life long Manchester City fan. So much negativity around the club that I love and have watched since 1968.

It has been said in the media world that the truth should never get in the way of a good story. Over the course of my life, 60 years this far, I have seen this to be self evident in many many situations, both sporting and non.

Their job is to sell newspapers, get clicks and stir the pot. It has always been so. It may feel different in this scenario because they are going after our beloved Manchester City but we have been here before and won. .

We know what it feels like to be fucked.To feel like it has all gone tits up.

Halifax in the Cup.
Luton and David Pleat.
Ricky Villa.
Years and years of spankings by the different red shirts. Knowing we were shit and still showing up. We were there, somewhere, having our own experience of being City.

We know what it feels like.

Unlike all of our antagonists, who have dined for a long time at the top table. Who gorged themselves on a cycle of unfettered success. Unchallenged because of the hegemony they created.
They became complacent and stuffed full of themselves and their self important shite. Corrupt and bloated to the core.

They do not know how it feels to lose.

So when we kicked the door down, because it was the only way in, and brought a level of competition they could not live with,they did not have the spine for the fight. None of them. They tried to meet us on the pitch and failed. They tried through UEFA to knock us out and they failed again. So now they resort to the only weapon they have left. Old money. Old power. Friends in high places. The real corruption. Hidden in plain sight.

But they have picked a fight with a club who know how to scrap.We know the pain of losing big and we know how to come back from that.

Dropping 2 divisions.
Dark days and grim gallows humour.That place somewhere in the old ridings where 300,000 of us watched on in the shadows
Then Gillingham. A moment when the future looked so bleak that people walked away from Wembley , muttering "fucking typical City," only to be drawn back by a miracle.
Imagine that we had lost. I did. And I knew we would still be here come the next season.
QPR. Dead and buried. To make matters worse the old enemy winning it all. Again. Not in my lifetime. You think? Another miracle. A big fuck off metaphorical wink from Mario.

Champions.

Only this.

Just the beginning.

This club, players, management and of course us, the supporters, do not ever lie down.This too I have witnessed. Time and time again. We are City.
It is not even about the winning for me. When you have lost so many times you understand the balance of all things more deeply. You know you can always lose and it makes the joy of winning something our red friends will never ever get to experience.

The day Sergio scored was the loudest noise I ever heard in a football ground and I knew why. That banner. That sanctimonious, rub it in our faces spineless bunch of toss perpetrated by the prawn sandwich brigade. The old money. They never saw it coming. Noisy neighbours indeed.

I understood completely and more than ever before what it meant to be a Manchester City fan.
We can lose this current fight and we will still be here. That's what makes us a fucker to fight with. We don't know when we are beaten.

We're Man City.

We'll fight to the end.

I won’t ever see a more heartfelt post. Not in my lifetime!
Superb passion for City.

NO !!
I expect City to go in "balls deep" and make a mockery of the PL after years of threatening behaviour of said organisation.
Lets kick arse good and proper.
Khaldoon rules OK.

I would love this, but in reality it just won't happen.
I hate to say it, but I will take getting out of this in the same division and solvent.
I fear the fuckers have got us. Whatever the outcome I will still be there cheering us on.

Oh right , thanks , i can see them taking titles off us or what is the point of it all, they must know we will bounce back even if relegated

For me this is the absolute worst case scenario, even to the extent that stripping of titles is preferable.

We are, according to our latest accounts, the club with highest turnover (£600m+) in the world. Yet we made just £40m profit on that figure. If we get relegated and lose Prem TV money, as well as CL money, we are royally fucked and a fire-sale will ensue. I think best case in this scenario is it takes years for us to come back to anything like our current level and even that would take a whole lot of luck.

OK, one last post about it.

This was presumably the guy City selected from the approved list who voted for City every time, as opposed to the German guy UEFA selected who voted for UEFA every time?

Not sure this helps allay any suspicions people may have about independence ...

The Opposition: Cartel - American owners / Betting Syndicates

Who has the most to lose/ gain?
Which other clubs have been investigated?
Considering 9 football teams in the league have gambling company as main sponsor, 11 teams have gambling company sponsor on their shirt.
4 clubs out-with the American cartel clubs are owned by gamblers and one of the owners has ongoing investigations into drug trafficking

Interesting article about the hateful 8(9)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...tep-war-against-Manchester-City-FFP-saga.html

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester United all currently have American owners. Therefore, U.S. businessmen back almost half of all English top flight teams, will potentially be 10 clubs when Burnley are promoted next season. Currently 13 clubs owned by American owners and gambling syndicates. Is it just all to obvious?

Is it possible that they are in cahoots and all have a vested interest?
Why are the Premier league/ FA targeting Manchester City and why have the referee decisions this season been embarrasingly biased against us with majority believing some form of corruption.
