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

[Newman Noggs]

This is a stark reminder that we are alone in the footballing world.

That is the price of greatness.

No.

+1

I have a real problem with any rule that says a rich owner can’t spend his money any way he sees fit.

If the authorities want to level the playing field impose a salary cap. In the absence of that the basic rule is the richest club has the best team. UEFA were perfectly happy with this arrangement when Real Madrid, The Rags, Barcelona, Juventus etal were the richest clubs. Now PSG, Chelsea and us have upset the old way of things they don’t like the rule any more and need to change it. How about looking at something meaningful like debt levels rather than debt free, profitable businesses like City ?

I think Pep will use this shitstorm to galvanize the squad like no other. Dogs of war mentality.

This ganging up is a concerted attack on the Owners who like any Corporation are extremely 'Brand' conscious. Unable to stop the MCFC steamroller on the pitch the Cartels puppet masters are trying to destroy the MCFC Brand and hope the Owner loses interest.

 

[M12Blue]

That's my take on it.

He's 100% committed while he's here, then when he goes, he'll be 100% committed somewhere else.

Though I do get the impression he wasn't embraced by the Bayern fans as he has been here.

Difference with Bayern is his mates are upstairs. I think he will be here for a while

 

[Bill Walker]

Not really. We are under siege and it’s imperative that the whole Club (that’s including the fans) stick together.

The decade since the Sheikh took over has been amazing and there are more great times ahead as long as people keep their nerve and get behind the Team.

Yes I agree mate but a rule in any business is avoid bad publicity, now it seems to me that somebody fucked up in terms of avoiding a car crash, there must be Corporate meetings at City that couldve made decisions to avoid a shit storm, were now getting bad press all over the world.
Im fully aware what ****s UEFA are but City have to play the game whilst working at changing it.

Hoping for a big collapse from loserpool now

 

[Manchester_lalala]

No better way of saying fuck off to every club and organisation involved in this is to lift all four trophies. This could work in our favour all this negative press.

 

[SWP's back]

Serve them warm champagne. Hit them where it hurts.

You’re a monster.

 

[andyhinch]

You’re a monster.

It’s a new low I never thought I’d see, not sure I’ll be able to look him in the eye this afternoon.
