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

We know that a leaked Etihad internal financial statement by KPMG states they got the funding from the Executive Council.

Do we? That’s not something I’ve seen before

We don’t know for a fact that ADUG paying for the Etihad deal isn’t true.

No one knows any facts aside from the people directly involved, everything else is just wait and see, none of this has any certainty round it at all.

People are understandably desperate/hopeful it’s a clusterfuck in fairness. It’s a coping mechanism. It’s high noon as a mentality but we ain’t Gary Cooper or Erin Brockovich. I am trying to see what the best case scenario is here.

Hardly leaked. It was part of the Etihad deposition to the US Open Skies invesrigation. It's a matter of public record.

Everyone should just keep calm and listen to The Smiths.

Exactly leaked. The original internal document was leaked in 2014 in Australia, and then it was used in the Open Skies investigation in 2015.

And I completely get that, I hope it is too. I’m not in the same camp as others in terms of just wanting to see us win the appeal. I want us to 100%, I would quite like to know the actual facts too though!

Ah ok, yes I did know about that. It doesn’t prove it. It’s a bit of a red herring tbh.

I see this as pretty much the argument every fan has when one of their own goes down a bit too easily. Every other fucker does it so we have to. The really annoying part is Salah dives, Willian dives, vardy dives, lingard dives and sterling dives. The whole fucking world calls out sterling and no one else
