I'd imagine this is the plan. Suspend ffp for those two years then slam the door shut again as we re-enter European competition. Don't think it will come to that. More likely CAS will give some wishy-washy verdict which will result in the two year ban suspended while the issue is dragged through Swiss/EU courts for years. Our reputation so smeared that a not guilty verdict at the end wont alleviate the damage. Yes it will cost UEFA millions, but a lot less than the G14 stropping off and forming their own competition. The longer legal wrangling can be kept going, the longer UEFA gets to tell the G14 they are 'doing something about it' and kick the can of their own collapse down the road.Which by then, post covid would be effectively scrapped imo or at least reworked to allow major owner investment.
Imagine us sat for 2 years banned for something many owners where then busy doing within the game?

Perhaps they will go ahead and enforce the ban then immediately take the handbrake off and remove FFP, for a couple of years with a then review !

As CAS is an arbitrator, they surely will go on the balance of probabilities?I'm not a barrister so not been in that position. I have had cases with me as a (corporate) client and that my barrister and legal team thought was strong and would win. And then lost. I have had cases settle at various points including on the Sunday before the kick off of the trial on the Monday....
As I have said before, even the strongest case can lose and no case is better than 70% chance of winning.
So it’s shit or bust this week then.You should assume that if we lose at CAS the best case is a difficult financial claim for damages in a few years time. I very much doubt it would halt the ban itself so the damage would be done.

Sure - I don't mean 70% in terms of the decision. I mean 70% in terms of chance of winning on a balance of probabilities. Anyone speaking of certainty is speaking nonsense.

Interesting from Sunday Supplement that Delaney (and the rest) know nothing at all about the detail. Obviously nobody speaking right now.
This A team thing re UEFA is unlikely to move the dial if the case is weak.
