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

There'll definitely be some passive aggressive digs in there too.

This was a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. The Club never wavered from it's belief that an independent panel that impartially considered the body of irrefutable evidence would find in favour of it's position.

Manchester City thanks the Court of Arbitration for Sport for their speedy decision and for maintaining the confidentiality of the proceedings, and looks forward to competing in the Champions League next season.​

You haven’t hacked the clubs emails, have you?

I accept fully that I am a miserable old bastard, but we really are tempting fate by speculating on what our ‘winning press release’ will look like. I will never forget my best mates half time delirium at winning the title at home to the rags, and then.

I agree the club will have some idea but will not know for certain which way the wind is blowing
What concerns me is the amount of young players we appear to be signing (Ezzy etc )
Does that mean we suspect we will lose and can’t attract top drawer
Just an alternative view I guess
I hope I am wrong because this ban could put us back 5 years

It's not that long ago we were 30 years behind. 5 years? No sweat.

Wouldn't it be great if a positive verdict was announced late in the day on Friday 3rd (same day and time the 2 year ban was announced) meaning that all blues would be able to celebrate properly the next day when the pubs open.

Never forget that 15 mins on the concourse at half-time. Some people never learn!

BT now commentating that "city are already sure to qualify for the champions league and Chelsea want to join them". The language of the broadcasters is changing markedly....

Think people read too much into Pep's words. Part of his job is to be optimistic and keep the team's spirit high, no matter what.

CAS said they would announce the date for releasing the verdict in advance, so we could maybe hear something next week on that score.

Hope we aren't made to wait to long after the initial announcement of a date, 72 hours max hopefully.

 

[SidJames]

Just want it done with now.

Feels like this shit has been hanging over us for years.

If Chelsea keep winning and rags look like 5th spot,what a kick in the teeth that would be if we got the wrong result.
