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

They have to produce a full document going over the decision with the reasons for it and covering the evidence etc. The decision might even have been roughly known as soon as the hearing finished.

In previous matters, they issue a summary ruling, and the detailed reasoning is released some time later. I don't think there will be a full release at the time of the announcement.

Do you think CAS would look to dismiss this on the technicalities of the settlement to avoid this rabbit hole? Or is that too romantic an idea

I am sure CAS would prefer to keep life simple but not as easy as that. It will have to deal with those questions.

Based on what we know, if CAS reject the hurdles on limitation and the settlement, I have not been able to think of a way for CAS to dodge the question of how UEFA are able to win without showing our accounts are in effect false (i.e. the allegation they made in PAE). I haven't as yet found any other cases where UEFA has made that allegation or where its been tested at CAS.

This appears to be at the heart of the matter.

could be just a coincidence but KDB and Ederson both quoted as saying how happy there are at City and with Pep and the style of play, also Peps quote after the Arsenal game when he said the first priority was to finish in the Champions League places this season. All in the last two days just wonder if City know they have won the appeal as they appear very up beat and not showing any signs of disappointment. Edison in Particular saying he Hope's to see out his contract and stay here beyond that !

The Marseille situation is interesting in its leniency. This is a breach of a settlement agreement (the second chance) almost as soon as its been entered into and the fine is €3m plus 15% of UEFA revenues (not total revenues). All pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I guess unlike us, they cooperated.

He should sign an extension then.

He should sign an extension then.

Already said after the season he will have a two months to sit down and discuss this, said he loves the club, staff and players and he and his family are very settled in Manchester so let's wait and see !

Why, has he been offered one?

 

[SWP's back]

It's been suggested that our audited accounts prove where the sponsorship money came from, but from my limited experience company accounts don't normally include this do they? I don't think our auditors would necessarily know where the sponsorship money came from nor would it necessarily say on a bank statement. The only way of proving the source of the funds would be by producing Etihad's bank statements. It would have been nice for there to have been public statements from the sponsors themselves clarifying the position following the AC's decision given that their integrity was being questioned.

Anyway the waiting's killing me, feels like exam results all over again.

I’ve never had a bank statement showing an inflow of funds without the remitter of those funds being named.

Pep again talked about qualifying for CL in the press conference for the Burnley game.
