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

We were pretty confident last time and they moved the goal posts. It seems they are purely using hacked material and are still pressing ahead despite us showing them all our legitimate documents and evidence

We are being stitched up

Goalpost moving won't wash with CAS or a court.

I think the 'confident' line is probably an accurate opinion.
I think the 'concerns on process' line is partly accurate, partly PR to imply dubious UEFA process, and partly an opaque warning to UEFA about keeping things straight.

The media perception will never change .....their eyes and rival fans will never change .. borne out of jealousy and bitterness.

Best thing is not to give a damn and keep winning on and off the pitch

Give it time it will change or be completely watered down, look at Juve. On step at a time mate.

Not really. One year is essentially a £90m fine.

Triple that maybe. £90m is just for TV money. Then there's prize money, sponsorship money, gate receipts from up to 6 games, and the bigger damage to reputation.

Yep, we are the Ben Johnson of football according to the media & other fans now

I think the club have finally realised it themselves which is why they are going to go all out. Hopefully we win and a full apology is procured, but I won't hold my breath. What I would really like is us to open a huge can of worms, that proves there was a concerted agenda, to halt our progress and discredit our reputation and names to come out and heads roll.

City's strongly worded statement will at least prevent the Premier League from taking action for a year or so as they know the process will be ongoing.

This imo is the work of the old elite guard. UEFA have prodded and pushed and this time I believe City have had enough.
Do we really think or do UEFA think for that matter that the people running our club don't know what they are doing. If there was any underhandedness on our part I'd hazard a guess you won't find it.
That said City are now ready to fight them hence the responses that now appear as club statements.
Personally I think if UEFA take us in they will lose and the future of UEFA will be in tatters. UEFA will know that and City will make them fully aware of that fact. What will happen is nothing other than a statement from uefa saying it has all been resolved and it is a matter between City and them.

Those Uefa boys better be squeaky clean in their professional and personal lives. The gloves are off now, anything goes, an hour spent in a chamber with a Dominatrix or a “walk” in the likes of Hampstead Heath in the dark will not be good for them.

The BBC reprt on this is very selective on which parts of City's statement they quote.

What’d you expect?

I’d take those ****s to the cleaners as well, they’ve shown this year just how biased they are.

I said this weeks ago but KAREN7 will tell you your stupid.....fill the stadium.spend your money.get behind the boys...
Ho by the way I agree with you......Blackpool can manage it so can we.

And Karen7 is right. you mention Blackpool, their boycott was about how their club was being destroyed by the owner. NO City fan has a problem with how we are run or who runs it. Why not fill the stadium and boo the bastard jingle and then cheer the lads on for 90 minutes.... but all the time have huge banners that simply tel UeFa to do one.
