if we do win,i can see one of the conditions being we are allowed people on the boards that have the power,if this is allowed then we will let them carry on as normal,if this isn't allowed we will go after the lot,i think the first option would keep everyone happy

First option is a step to joining the cartel

First option is a step to joining the cartel

why would city's board want to dismantle something that protects the"elite" if we were to become part of the "elite" doesn't make business sense,our owners aren't angels they are business men after making money.

If they wanted to get rid of FFP they would have legally challenged it at any point in the last 10 years.

Our owners want what every top club wants, FFP to protect them from new competitors emerging whilst we turnover so much that it doesn't actually effect us, and that's where we are in 2020.

But can you trust them?

Exactly.

Of course not.
They did everything they could to prevent the business plan developing and have made it plain we are not welcome.
When ADUG overcame their best efforts surely they will not concede, they even are prepared to sacrifice UEFA as an Organisation to preserve their cartel of corruption.

City are not owned by a bunch of gangsters and are not interested in joining any elite of the kind we see today. City are not like the other pygmies arguing about the size of slices of cake dished out from an increasingly debt ridden, static cake. City have a vision of CFG at the heart of football and entertainment in many of the world's major cities. FFP is the current attempt to block this and it's failing, but UEFA and the cartel will be back causing any problem they can. Only when the power of UEFA and the cartel to frustrate growth and progress has been broken and we have a governing body responsible for the running of the purely sporting side of the game and respecting the law, not telling the lawmakers what the law should be, free from the malevolent influence of the club plants to make sure UEFA safeguards only their interests, will City be satisfied. This is a world away from a view which sees an elite, maintained by a corrupt governing body, as essential to financial rather than sporting success. City are quite capable of looking after themselves - as the last 12 years show.

At which point, I’m out.
I still hope for the option of us dismantling this corrupt governance, not joining it.

As CAS has released a notification that our case will not be heard until after June. Looks like we will be in for along wait. I do remember quite a few years ago, of one team being suspended from all European Comps. This club put an appeal in, and were allowed to continue in European Comps until the hearing was heard and the result released. However I cannot remember the club involved. It mat have been an Italian club.

genuinely think the easiest option for UEFA is us being allowed to play in Europe and then having our appeal be successful

Let us play and we are then banned - they are sued by whoever was denied the chance to play in Europe

don’t let us play and we win the appeal - we sue them

of course we could also not be let in and have our appeal fail, in which case UEFA would also be off the hook (for a while)
