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

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Here's the CAS press release. Main news is that the decision is expected to be issued in the "first half of July 2020".

I think it very telling that the CAS statement felt the need to assert both sides were happy with how the proceedings were conducted.

That's got to be a reference to how unsatisfactory we found the IC AC process.

For me, that could already be an indicator of how much further recognition and concern was raised this week.

As someone pointed out earlier, isn't the public declaration of satisfaction something they routinely put out there so that neither party can say afterwards that they weren't happy with how it was conducted.

I thought they were referring to the video conference & that both parties were happy how that went?

Everything comes to an end at some point. If we lose out and players don’t want to stay then so be it. This run of success won’t last forever whatever the outcome. Perhaps we can finally start to make use of the a academy we have spent so much money on.

Just imagine if we win it???

The next 10 years will be even better imo.

I think the wording of the conduct of procedure is telling to be honest. Doesn’t mean we have won mind but one of our biggest arguments was that UEFA didn’t follow procedures and their conduct was unprofessional with the media leaks etc

It's a very high profile case, I don't know if CAS release statements like this after every hearing, but I doubt Matthieu Reeb, general secretary of CAS, comments on many, if any cases at all during a hearing. I think they 100% realise what's at stake here, and the potential fallout. I believe CAS are just emphasising that the hearing was conducted in a fair manner suiting both ourselves and uefa.

It's called covering their back.

Covering their back, certainly.

Only because what went beforehand was flagged as worrisome.

Nowhere to go if we lose now.

I doubt they'd have said, "MCFC were happy, UEFA thought it was a shambles." Or vice-versa. It's an anodyne statement and what we should have expected. Don't think we can read anything into it. Much as I'd like to. Hope all good with you bud by the way.
