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

[Gordyola]

Be funny as fuck if we got one of UEFA's Champions League sponsors on board and they were paying us more than UEFA get. That would boil some piss!

Like Nissan?

Funny despite everything

Yes "We'll buy UEFA and burn it down!"

 

[SWP's back]

And why the fuck should we give the BBC exclusive access to our chairman?

Well fucking said mate.

 

[urban genie]

May have been posted but a good listen souness backing us fully

 

[SWP's back]

Is this the same BBC that have come out with such lines that 'Shiekh Mansour owns Etihad' etc. over the last few days? Credible my hairy arse hole.

Well fucking said again Phil.

The interview was fine (even if it was three days late), but they obviously should've done this with literally any journalist except the one employed by the club. Very difficult for me to believe they couldn't have found someone on good terms to ask these same questions. Agree them beforehand, whatever. This is what the PR department is for.

You are delightfuly naive,no offence meant,it was 3 days "late" because he had to take legal advice

Looking forward to getting to the stadium tonight and watching football played out on the pitch rather than the internet. Like it used to be.

It seems quite clear that Soriano was taking aim only at the two FFP committees, not UEFA as a whole. Does anyone have a list of the members of the committees? The composition/membership of these committees/panels might explain the 'politics' comment, too.

Well fucking said again Phil.

They were trying to get a City fan to do an interview with them this afternoon, I hope no one gave them the time of day.

 

[blueballs84]

true and 12 months time around Christmas time will be the earliest we could have any hearing heard and like i said the ban stands

Not true,

We will file an injunction to have the ban suspended on the grounds of irreparable financial and reputational harm if we are excluded prior to the appeal being heard in full. UEFA can the challenge that injunction but if CAS later clears us entirely of any wrongdoing then we can take UEFA to the cleaners for potentially £200M if you include lost revenue from missing the CL plus other damages. Not sure UEFA would risk that.
