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

[Newman Noggs]

Yep, sorry, just saw that and made an edit - the month after the hearing.

If Uefa start briefing, it can probably mean very bad news for us?

That would stand to reason, as a large portion of our case is predicated on Uefa leaks and them not adhering to procedures.

Even if no-one is briefing, the media will be making it up to get clicks between the end of the hearing and publication of the Judgment. Sam will be saying he's been told we've been cleared and Panja will be saying we've had the ban increased. So, you're right, it will be a torrid month or so.

Bottom line is we can ignore everything until the CAS press release.

Your confidence I have a say in the actual proceedings is wildly misplaced, bud!

I retain confidence in what is being said by senior people inside the club, but I am a cynic by nature, certainly in respect that we will be leaving bodies all over the shop.

We wouldn’t leave bodies all over the shop at this stage IMO, if the case is strong we would save that ammo for later, I know if I was sure of the facts in their shoes I wouldn’t use any bombs unless it went to a further appeal in the Swiss courts or until after we won.

just use the bullies tactic over the road "your paper can come to matches press conferences and likes but you lot aren't invited
job done

We could do what Dalglish did while at Celtic, hold all of the press conferences in the local City oriented pub packed with City fans.

Is that private opinion stated as a fact, or do you have any evidence supporting this?

Just an opinion,
you know we're a bit of a mard arse club when it comes to retaliation, all the shit that the press and SKY, BBC all the media have thrown at us, we take it on the chin and move on. That's why I can't see us digging up the dirt on certain people and organisations, we just seem to like the quiet life.

Just my opinion

But wages are a key item in business strategy. Restrict that and you interfere with the heart of the business.
I need to pay over the odds to attract the best players to Dirtytown, but I make up the difference by other means such as a benign owner. See Jack Walker. I could not, however, endanger the club if overspending were regulated by debt limits.

No, you don't. You can pay over the odds to attract the best players, just not a whole squad of them if you can't afford them. I've already said owners would be made to offset losses they want to incur. Wage bills are a debacle and need reining in.

I have visions of the press conference after we (hopefully) win our case and have the ban quashed. The media who have slagged us off are all there. Delaney, Harris x 2, Syed, Glendenning, Conn, Corbett, etc.

Khaldoon walks in, wearing his sunglasses, stands there silent for a moment while he looks into the eyes of the hacks. He then slowly removes his glasses and says quietly "We told you. We fucking told you we were innocent you ****s. Yet you didn't believe us and called us grubby, cheats, liars and things. You insulted our honour and integrity. Now you'll pay the price. Goodbye."

He then walks out, the doors are locked and the hacks wonder what's going on. Just then, a partition at the back of the room opens and there's a cage of snarling wild carnivores in them. Lions, tigers and wild dogs that haven't been fed for days. There's a click and the gate that separates the hacks from these ravenous wild beasts slowly opens....

Well, a man can dream can't he?

That's Delooney's next piece sorted. "Obsessed beancounter apologist wants whistleblowers fed to the dogs"

Can you imagine if the ban is up held, Fucking Hell the media will have a field day
