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

[cheekybids]

Completely unrelated but I’ve been listening to claremont Serial Killer trial over here, 7 months of evidence decided by a judge too complex for mere mortals as ourselves explained daily of the complexities as defence & prosecution go back & forth.

It’s not Jaffa cakes but interesting all the same.

Wish people would make up their fucking minds about why FFP was brought in.

So far it's:

• To do with Chelsea
  
• As a response to the global liquidity crisis
• To ensure financial sustainability in football and the timing was completely coincidental
• To stop us
• To protect the G14
  
• To reduce CO2 emissions

Have I missed anything?

FFP = Fundamentally Flawed Procedure, which just happens to be UEFA'S motto.

I read projectdriver last considerations regarding the potential case UEFA could run regarding the extension of time limits up to Jan 2022 and agree its entirely possible. I would however say if this was their thinking regarding time limitation why the god awful scramble to implement the sanction before the date we all summised was the expiry date in May? Or was that scramble wishful thinking? If it wasn't a scramble thats a hell of a coincidence.
Just a thought.

I think you are being rather politically correct with the words beginning with the letter "F"

Maybe they weren't 100% sure themselves bud, so it was a case of "just to be sure their case doesn't fail on that particular technicality" ?

Good to see I wasn't the only one who thought it said 'ProjectDriver' ;-)

So ffp has been suspended for 12 months!!!!
Timing is a bit dodgy a week after CAS

This basically gives a free pass to the cartel to keep spending big and worry later about the consequences

I think they are just clearing the way for City to be found not guilty.

The timing would be dodgier if they found us guilty and then a week later suspended FFP!

If it was as simple as City pulling a fast one and ickle UEFA being hoodwinked, that would be one thing. This is more complex - as I have said many times, PwC/UEFA simply never believed or agreed with City's workings on these sponsorship agreements and therefore there was a settlement.

That all plays to the LFC agenda - from day one they were questioning the Etihad deal and casting dispersions - how much was the losing bid.
