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

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

No way uefa and their giddy media sycophants would be sitting on their hands and keeping mum if CAS had come down on uefa's side. Pep always tends to downplay a big win out of respect to the other team - that's one reason he's less of a **** than that noncey box of teeth at liverpool.

Think the club will find out Friday tbh, doubt CAS would drop the news during the weekend.

Is it possible that CAS would wait until announcement day to notify the club prior their press release?

Also, maybe Pep was asked by UEFA to stop smiling and talking about the Champions League so much, for this one game before Friday. So that nobody can read into anything, before the draw they are so bothered about... just a thought.

What was their reasoning for the delay? It's not like it can affect anything. I don't pay much attention to the draws live, do the press normally get a chance to ask questions?

I can't seem to remember any open QA press sessions myself but I'm struggling for any other reasons why they might have felt it was necessary.

Just catching up with this thread and I'll be honest - I thought Pep seemed a bit downbeat in his interview.

However, I put it down to him feeling that we played in much the same manner tonight as we did on Sunday with two completely different outcomes and this pretty much summing up a frustrating season. This was evidenced by him referencing the Southampton game a few times and to be honest - I felt the same!

I don’t think they look happy. Maybe we are all fucked.

Anyone notice the number of worry lines Pep had in the on pitch interview. It was Ultra HD but seemed a lot more than normal. Makes you think

What utter rubbish
What brings you to this conclusion?

Relax mate.. he's not a wum or fishing or anything else. He's a Blue, crapping it over the outcome of this, as are all of us. It's his opinion and a fair point - Pep has definitely made pointed comments about CL next season in the last few weeks, and didn't tonight. That's all. Might be something, might be nothing. We'll find out soon enough.

After a lot of thinking I have come to the conclusion that there are 2 possible outcomes. Either we will be banned or we won't be.

The whole bunch of them look morose and very very sad in this clip. We’re in big trouble

All on the phone to their agents looking for a move. Brian Kidd will have to put his boots back on next season.
