I think the forum admins deserve credit. I've not had any connection issues tonight.

bbc news just said our owner also owner Etihad airways is that true ??

it's a lie like the rest of Olly's script - written by the Roan cult of dippers and rags that infest the BBC

There’s another element to this too.

Defending against Uefa is one thing. I’ve never cared for FFP and I’d rather we’d fought against it.

However, we didn’t, instead we became self sustaining and we made quite a big thing about how good our business model was. As a fan, I bought into that fully.

If, and it’s still an if, we cooked the books, then it won’t annoy me that we failed ffp or try to hoodwink Uefa. I’d be more annoyed that the vision of self sustainability and when we got there that was sold to me as a fan was a myth.

Had we ignored ffp, spent what we liked and accepted all the consequences, I’d have backed the owners to the hilt. Had we challenged uefa immediately about ffp as a principle, I’d have backed the owners to the hilt. If they’ve lied to me as a fan in order to lie to uefa and created the pretence that we’ve passed and our business model was always sound, that’s where I start to have an issue.

I don’t know which one yet is actually true. I want to believe and have always backed that the club is right and will continue to do so unless I see enough to think otherwise. The email leak was worrying to say the least though and if we have been misled (and I mean us as fans rather than Uefa) then my support for the owners will go very quickly.

It’s just a wait and see now though. Feels like we’re approaching the end game.

Cracking post mate

Samuel is always welcome at City.

A top professional.

A journo that has reasoned opinion - rare commodity........

We should take the whole ffp protectionism rule to the court's, no way is that legal, what do we have to lose?

Well we haven't now for sure. We will find out what sort of backbone the club has, we have smiled sweetly and sat on our hands for too long.

Where can I buy tickets for the CAS appeal? It'll be the most important Cup final in the club's history.

I agree, but whatever makes you think we will be permitted to win their bent competition this season ? That remote possibility went completely out if the window with tonight's announcement.

If we win every game by a ton of goals, even the bent officiating can’t stop us. I hope this lights a fire under all their asses. Let’s see what type of hunger and fight these boys have now.

It's time for the club to start banning these 'journalists' and certain people within UEFA.

This all being nice bullshit has to come to an end now
