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

[Hart of the Matter]

For what its worth, most of the people I speak to up here in the north east seem to see this all as a witch hunt against City. After some initial banter most see uefa as corrupt. The cartel stuff though doesnt seem to register.

By the same person too

Unfair Colin is not known for spreading rumours he will only have posted the information in good faith to ease others concern
The information in 2014 was correct, at the time, backed up with evidence and he has explained
numerous times what happened I for one take it as it is intended, information only, and appreciate him letting us know. I understand that it’s only from one side and the judges will make their decision, having considered all the evidence. I have faith that they will do it impartial

People, stop worrying about "reputation"! First of all, we haven't had one for 40 years. People either laugh at us or don't care, and it's been like that as far back as I can remember. I've never even heard anyone say "City? They're my second club!". If we've had a reputation, it's surely not been a good one!

Second, anyone remember all the Juventus scandals? Drugs, doping, bribery and match fixing! They're still in it. Does anyone care? No. Same with AC Milan and a bunch of other Italian clubs. Porto of Portugal too. No one cares! "Reputation" is overvalued!

You are all in the dark. The real story goes back to 1963 when the Alexander family arranged the assassination of JFK. Marilyn Monroe was having an affair with Bert Trautmann....the rest is history, but not ours obvs as we don't have any.

This from a genuine ITK great work thanks for sharing

For us to be innocent they have to have been doctored, there is no other explanation if you believe the club.

Repeating this over and over again doenst make it true.

He's just a troll, probably banned previously so don't give him the oxygen he craves.

Read this story from yesterday. UEFA haven't spoken to Pinto, which I think backs up my story.

Wow! Some people are really trawling through this thread. I've just had a like for a post on page 2161, unbelievable!

You need to do some clear thinking about this D. The whole UEFA case was launched because of - and is predicated upon - the hacked/stolen DS emails. PB reinforced this yesterday despite some concerns expressed by others on here that in that case UEFA must have something else on us. Otherwise the Adjudicatory Chamber wouldn't have been so incompetent as to allow the sanction to be imposed on the basis of what is currently in the public domain. They clearly have to prove those emails show we broke their rules and our case is that they do not and misrepresent the true situation that we are totally innocent. Our evidence will show that they have been taken out of their meaningful context and manipulated to fit a false and deliberately damaging narrative. Further, we will show that UEFA's actions are driven by their controlling group of elite clubs who are the principal casualties of our successful business model on the pitch. Hopefully we will also contest the first FFP penalty on the grounds that UEFA unfairly changed the toolkit.

If UEFA don't have the emails could the non cooperation be UEFA asking for them and us telling them to do one.
