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

Sorry to add a note of pessimism to go against the overwhelming tide of optimism here [and that optimism may well be correct] but the danger here isn't that something will creep out of the woodworm to throw our case into unseen turmoil. What is more likely to spoil the blue bandwagon is the time it is taking to get the case into the courts, the delays and inactivity being a possible source of festering leading to players getting itchy feet and the club then having to get involved in another lengthy and expensive period of rebuilding whilst other clubs amongst the top six [???] with near enough squads are able to have a straight run at available trophies. As I indicate, it might not come to that but players such as KDB and Raz are wanted by other powerful clubs and they aren't likely to want to hang around if UEFA or the EPL are doing their best to throw their spanners into our works instead of encouraging the kind of game that Pep has introduced in his managerial career.

Living up to your user name there.

Remember Aguero `s goal for the best ever way to win a league? well it never would have happened, City went from a 10 point lead to 10 behind from the end of January to the end of March during this time the FA cheated City out of results and gave utd results, right up until 3 clubs owners spoke out about referee`s poor performances when playing utd, and within a week utd are back to playing rubbish, it was in the papers at the time but only a couple, the clubs were QPR , Fulham and strangely enough Aston Villa. All of which the FA relegated ASAP

So if any club crosses United or Liverpool they get relegated, so if that's true you would had thought qpr, Fulham & Aston villa would kick up a fuss and they must have some proof.

IIRC, YAYA was away at African cup for January. Maybe something to do with it.

I have been re-reading Conn and his reporting on this. When he talks about the Premier league investigation, and points deduction.
I didn't think that the premier league could sanction individual clubs, I thought that their jurisdiction was marketing, league rules, and so forth.
All the other clubs would want a City point deduction for their own benefit if asked.

The more I learn of Conn, the more despicable he becomes. He could not have any reliable info when he wrote those articles, which were then reprinted by all the media unless leaked info from perhaps an americanised club.

As the summertime approaches and contracts start to expire and tick over, I hope the club is keeping track, and asking for documented responses, for any player who feels they can't come to city because of the uncertainty over the FFP case.

In that case if we don't get the players we want but are the successful in out appeal, we could argue in the future that UEFA cost us earnings and silverware, or at least reduced them.

Even David Silva, if he goes back home as is expected, if he put out a statement thanking the fans and saying that in his final career years he can't afford to not have CL football so went home, could set the ball rolling.

We should get our owners to buy up all the companies that sponsor any of the 2 European Competitions. Then that would be fun when they start looking to those companies to carry on sponsoring them further along the line. If our owners owned them they then could dictate the terms of further sponsorship of these competitions.

What do you guys think about it. Buy them out then sell them to Man City for a nominal fee.

No offence but I think you think too much. That is never going to happen

Start with BEIN then gasprom, now I wonder if it's possible)

would cost a few quid

Gasprom with sales over USD$120 billion, it sits as the largest publicly-listed natural gas company in the world and the largest company in Russia by revenue. In the 2019 Forbes Global 2000, Gazprom was ranked as the 40th largest company in the world. Gazprom name is a portmanteau of the Russian words

Still might be easier to buy them than BEIN sports.
