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

I would think that either side could ask for a delay in announcement.

I don't for one minute think that it would happen without both sides agreeing.

Exactly.

Think I read somewhere the verdict was due a week today then moved to the Monday 13th,they wanted the 10th free because of the draws for the champions league and other things.

The plot thickens...:)

Ask the fans of any team who they would rather play to avoid relegation, us or the dippers. Fans know football. The media know clickbait.

True, English clubs were banned for 5 years because of the behaviour of Liverpool fans. Not that city qualified in any of those years!

We finished 5th or 6th under Reid and would have qualified, I may be wrong as my old grey matter is not what it used to be.

Can’t remember why there was a five year ban though - almost like something didn’t happen to cause it......

Didn't we finish fifth twice and could of been in the uefa Cup when Peter Reid was manager ?

Quite - the timeframe is pretty standard. There isn't anything to be leaked, so there are no leaks.

I don't understand the regular comments about CAS being iffy. They're the international body of appeal for sports. If they weren't solid, sports businesses wouldn't accept them as the appeals body.

You know how this works.
City exonerated = CAS is an independent body who should be admired.
City not exonerated = CAS is a biased stooge of EUFA and their verdict means nothing ;-)

Don't you mean "What can ewe expect...."?

How do you get away with these puns?
I’ve been told by the mods I mutton do it again!

I've read a lot of posts arguing that the narrative has been set that even if we are cleared then it will be a technical win bought by the best lawyers. But then also say CAS is corrupt. We can't have it both ways. You either trust the process or you don't and make your mind up before they give a verdict.
