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

[city saint]

So how does a club ever get history if they don’t want anyone with no history in their corrupt competition? Guess what, all clubs when starting out as a new club have no history. Fuck me, that guy’s a fucking moron.

if everyone said fuck off to the cartel and let them have their 14 team comp while everyone else was getting on with real football theyd soon be begging to come back

Really?? Don’t you think this is a “show” & an “act” so UEFA can say after CAS uphold the ban, that they were never being personal because they always felt we’d be an “asset”

No, I think he came to see our execs to try and broker a deal, that we'd admit some guilt, and that the punishment would be "minimal", and we told them we'd been punished once and we'd fight, he didn't come to 2 totally innocuous games for nothing. He's from a country that wouldn't be allowed in the CL if some had their way, and I think he's firmly on the side of the smaller european clubs/countries, as he sees people like Agnelli as the enemy of fairness (see the other story today about how Atalanta shouldn't have been allowed in ahead of another 'istrry club Roma).

I really hope you’re right. Our experience so far with UEFA etc, doesn’t instil much hope ( for me anyway)

I agree, but if we overturn this he's likely empowered, and having us as a "friend" could be very useful in future, the g14 bunch want the control in their hands, if that happens football in europe is fucked for good imho.

 

[cleavers]

Oh and europe without some of its best players is worth a lot less to sponsors. Yes some of ours might move, but I think they generally feel strongly against that.

And yet he's the godfather to Agnelli's daughter.

If you’re optimistic, it shows he wants to distance himself from the decision. If you’re pessimistic, it’s him trying to validate the independence of the CFCB and he’s just saying the same thing he’s said all along.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, just got to wait til CAS. I do hate how long the wait is for these things though.

Is he ? It doesn't mean he agrees with what Agnelli came out with today.

 

[manimanc]

Who do you think put him up to this interview. I can't see it being the idea of sky therefore tit for tat in retaliation to our interview. Just wish he could be asked what he talked to City about before Christmas.

I reckon it was if we'd behaved and was we on Santa's naughty or nice list.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I struggle that he says he knew nothing about the punishment until an hour before it was annupunced but he was supposedly trying to negotiate a deal with us in the lead up to the verdict.

Doesn't add up

He's a lying twat you mean ?
