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

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What is he up to tolmie?

He is trying to distance UEFA from the IC and AC.

Funnily enough, Soriano did exactly the same recently in his interview...

Cerefin acknowledges ("as a lawyer") the legal process, recognising also CAS in the equation.

For me, this is MOST telling. He is legitimising CAS.

That tells me a deal has already been worked out/a verdict of City's acquittal is expected, which would certainly explain City's bullishness behind the scenes.

Whether that be under due process, 'irrifutable' evidence we have deliberately held back, or both.

We're being played. City aren't being done here.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Coronavirus may well effect CL participation.
I know it's speculation, but if our ban is reduced to one year and next year's CL competition is not held.
Does anybody know if our CL suspension would in those circumstances transfer to the following year?

So hope you are right Tolmie

The bit on City at the end isn't terribly specific, although he may have said something that isn't included here.

He speaks specifically about City, despite his claims today. He references not just getting his info from the media articles.

All you need to know right there.

And guess where The Sun have sent Martin Lipton this week...

No - they'll just kick us out of this year's competition when we're 4-0 up against Liverpool in the final with 5 minutes to go!

I think we would fight a one year ban,can't see the cl being cancelled even if there was a deadly virus about still

Tariq Panja goes on to say that "the current members on the CFCB bodies will be extended a year. But have not chosen to replace those that have left. Perhaps a hint that in a year's time FFP will be reformed or perhaps replaced?".

I guess FFP will have served its purpose by then if CAS were to uphold our ban.

I believe that if CAS overturn the sanctions on City UEFA will have to make fundamental changes to F(ix) F(ootball) P(ermanently) because City may decide to cleanse our reputation of any damage by challenging the break even rule in the ECJ and part of what we have on Liverpool and others may be readily available documentary proof of the involvement of certain clubs in coercing UEFA to enact clearly unlawful regulations to make it impossible for City (and any others who might be taken over) from competing financially and thus through player recruitment. If CAS uphold the decision of AC these measures may be further down the line as pursue the case through the Swiss courts, and then inflicting damage on Liverpool et al may be used to show UEFA as corrupt, biased and unfit for service before the coup de grace in the ECJ.

It's strange that Ceferin admits that the FFP rules could change, just a couple of weeks after they have banned us. Something doesn't sit totally right with me, and I'm more and more positive that good things will come out of this for us. Does anyone else share my sentiments?

Haha agreed!
The chances of this year's CL being cancelled this year will definitely get higher if we progress in the competition and rival big club's are eliminated.
