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

Mate it doesn’t come across like that. It comes across as you are worried what fans of other clubs think.

It doesn’t matter. Footy has always been tribal let fans say what they want and just shrug it off.

The plastic fans mean nowt agree totally. The media have influence, officials will treat us differently, some players / mangers may be influenced. I have no doubt we are innocent that’s what makes it so infuriating

Football’s shite. A lot of us are sick of it already.
But looking forward to City fighting this and really hoping they finally will.

Don’t understand how anyone considers winning being entitled to play in their corrupt tournament again though.

That attitude will be what kills off a lot of blues. Resignation and cynicism. The best in football is standing with your team when times are tough and then seeing it through and winning in three, four years, or however long it takes. Juve did it. We will too.

There's still CAS which could conceivably kill this off but we have to be ready to take the worst they can throw at us.

How is the opinion I’ve expressed throwing in a towel? I’ll renew my season ticket no matter what. Will follow us whatever league/comp. still shite that the club we love, which has had in the last decade positive impacts on the sport and local community, is having its name sullied to a global audience and its integrity called into question.

Put it this way, I wouldn't want to be a member of your family accused of doing something I havent done and having to rely on you for support and encouragement through the hard times. I you have an 80 year old Aunty, Id rather have her believe in me.

Chelsea didn't get the transfer ban suspended pending their appeal. Whose decision was that?

Pretty sure that was FIFA. Didn't they break with precedent by not suspending pending appeal?

Martin Samuel surely!

Right. Late and pissed is my excuse.

Feel sorry for teams such as Leeds who could be open to major investment I mean what’s the point when they will not be allowed to dine at the top table of Europe. Red bull will be looking over there shoulders tonight as they could be thumped . As for us we will not be seen to win even if we do because uefa is an institute and will not be toppled . We will definitely serve a one year ban from Europe which I will take and I’m not even bothered about pep going as he will be gone after next season anyway. I’m very nervous about the owners and there take on this as they are everything to us

Yup, Leeds is an obvious investment target.

Are you dim? How do you question my support based on my statement I’m pissed off that the club are being accused of cheating. At no point did I say we were guilty or that I thought we were.

Change your mindset to siege mentality. Our owners are ridiculously powerful...if it takes them years to win so be it... we will win in the end. Talk about yanking a tiger’s tail. Politics.

I understand where you're coming from. I think you realise just how difficult this could get.

It's one thing growing up supporting City when you've always been sh't, it's another having won the title and then seeing it taken away by teams that bend the rules to suit themselves along with a media that is completely unable to ask questions. They just ride the wave of populism and triumphalism.

We can't rely on CAS to save our skins. We can only rely on City fans to support the club through thick and thin as we have always done in the past.
