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

[Mancini Manus Domini]

The game is up. Doesn't matter what we do now.

England's three biggest football club fanbases will be mobilised against us with a barrage of claims. They will be whipped up and cajoled by key people in the media. UEFA and the Premier League have broken. We'll be left with an emasculated football club when this done. That is how politics works in this country now. Now you know what it is like to be a 2nd class citizen in this country.

The facts do not matter. This is the era of social media. We have been set up as the guilty party and they are cleaning up the game. In reality it is the other way around.

I'm not giving up of course. I've endured worse as a City fan. But I know what is coming.

I just hope that when they are finished with us I still have a football club left to support. It would not surprise me at all that our officials etc will be disqualified from football. To make this work they have to drag us through the mud and they will. The process started a decade ago, but almost overnight we were hijacked and I never saw it coming.

I'm like you all. I was there at all our darkest and greatest moments over the last 40 years but it feels like its coming to an end. How can we go on beyond this when the game will no longer feel fair, and yet I feel we are obliged to otherwise we are broken and the past meant nothing. It does. Dickov scoring that goal, it meant something.

Apologies for posting this. I've just let the nonsense flow but I am sickened with the football authorities.

Of course I am going to the game later today as I always have. And I always will. I don't know how I will feel after the game. Hopefully my determination will be doubled and my love for City will be redoubled, but this morning I am tired.

The worst thing about this all is that we will be painted as the villain when in truth Manchester city represent the best in football in so many ways but how do you deal with these preachers in the press and this social media world we live in. The witch-hunt nears its conclusion. The witch is being dragged to the water. It does not give up on life as it is dragged to the water but it feels very angry indeed.

We are owned by an Arab. Now you are all metaphorically Arab and you will feel injustice. it is about to be served.

Apologies for the heart-felt rant. I'm truly angry and don't know what to do as the wolves close in. Hopefully my team today will bite back, but I fear it's temporary.

Something has to be done boys. I don't know what it is but we can't allow this club of ours that we have loved all our lives to be treated like this. What is to be Done?

When what you care for is under attack you circle the wagons. You develop a siege mentality.

I trust the owners of our club.

I trust the management of our club.

I think it's time for us fans to crank up the atmosphere, starting today. Focus on what we as fans can do, and trust our good people at the club to fend off our accusers.

Let’s win the quad parade all four trophies round Manchester at the end of the season then proceed to crush everyone of the trophies in Albert Square. Then send them back to each association involved in trying to fuck us over.

I'm just tired of this. I just want to support my club and revel in the glory of this great side. I love football and I love City but I am drained this morning because I know a long torturous road likes ahead and I am going to be dragged through every pot-hole with my club whether I like it or not.

I just wish I could carry on as normal on a match day but today feels different. I am afraid my comments are not to be trusted but it's what I feel. I can't express my thoughts but I love my club just as you all do, and though no fault of our own we are about to be drawn into the mixer and I can not help but yelp before I dive in.

Sorry in an hour or two the blackness the stupidity will pass.

Chin up mate, we’re top of the league.

 

[The Colonel]

Isn’t it ironic that the moron who dreamt up the regulations for FFP was found guilty of corruption and banned from football. Platini

Never also forget that he was coerced into it, and he admitted this, by Abramovich and Burlesconi!

 

[worsleyweb]

Fuck em - all adds to our rich tapestry.

No history?

What other club has had a 25 years like we have had?

None.

The story of how a wealthy man bought a nearly broke football club and ploughs his OWN money in to fix the club. Has the club debt free and now opporating in a self sustainable manner. Develops educational facilities in the local area. Invests in the city that club resides. Builds the best training facilities in the world. Develops an adcadamy to provide young talent, and ensure that those kids also get an education. Develops a women’s team. Sets up a world wide network of clubs. Invests in the stadium so more fans can get to games. Has a team playing beautiful football. And now on the brink on winning everything.

So from nearly broke to where we are now what a story. Unfortunately UEFA reads it as a horror story that scares its little precious children that it cares so much about.

As fans we have lived the dream after the all hard years pre 2008. It’s going to be shame if such a corrupt organisation ruin it. But no matter what CTID!

Yep. That's it. Let'sjust hope that Sheikh Mansour who will be so outraged by this all has heart to go on. This is no longer a level playing field. If it was, our hopes and passion for our club would sustain us. In fact they'd be inflamed, but sadly we live in an era where we need a rich backer. What I would like is statement of commitment from our owners that they are in this for the long haul, or is that insulting? I have no doubt about our fans. We ma grumble but we are always City. If I was a billionaire like Sheikh Mansour, I am not sure what I would do, or how I would react to this. He might say enough is enough, and it is pointless, why throw good money after bad. On the other hand he might feel so much has been staked in the club, that it must go on. I think it is important to know how the club is going to react to this. Of course we can't really know as words will be said, but what will they really mean. We can not know

Irony of ironies that two of the darkest malevolent clubs in the game are riding to the battlefield like white knights. The crusade of 2019 is upon us!

Get a grip lad, life continues no matter the outcome. Manchester City FC will remain and we'll still challenge for trophies.

Obviously understand your concerns. But I’d put a little more faith in our owners.
I doubt they’ve invested over a £1bn to just walk away.
I understand the concerns over social media, but thanks to many a fucking loon, accumulating in the election of Donald fucking Trump most people are beginning to consider internet ranters nut jobs.

Regards actual possibility of punishment, A, we’ve already been punished. B, if they’re looking for different avenues to punish us, AC Milan failed miserably and nothing happened.

We’ve basically been accused of breaking rules that don’t exist anymore. Based on emails hacked by a criminal.

You can bet your life, ADUG will not take this lying down and UEFA will not want that fight.

I fully expect UEFA o cover their own arses by saying something like ‘after recent investigations, we find Manchester City have complied with our rules. However we are concerned with issues surrounding related party investment, but due to privacy laws we are unable to confirm any wrong doing. We have warned Manchester City that all future deals will be subject to investigation.’

Here’s hoping!
