Don’t you think a statement for either outcome would already been done?
Quite possibly, but if the decision has gone against ourselves, then I think the top brass of our club have got serious questions to answer.

Silverlake and the Chinese I would imagine would be far from impressed, and neither would our manager.

Irrefutable evidence is a strong statement, but would look foolish if CAS disagree, and if we do have irrefutable evidence then I have no reason to believe CAS would not agree with our views and rule in our favour.
 
We will know for sure later today when they pull out two Real Madrid balls for the draw. Worst case scenario for UEFA is if the ban is upheld but then we win the thing. Be a weird one if we couldn't defend the trophy because we cheated years earlier

Ala Tyson Fury, lineal European Champions. Got a nice ring to it, at least. We could go to the world club cup, as it is FIFA run
 
“The award shall be enforceable from such notification of the operative part by courier, facsimile and/or electronic mail.“ R59 of CAS.

This suggests that, once the decision is notified to the parties it is ‘enforced’. If it is transmitted today, it is in force from today and there is no reason to keep it quiet. For this reason and my earlier post about the effect on share prices (should it involve a different football club), I don’t see how anybody, save for the 3 CAS judges can KNOW the outcome. I think the club and EUFA find out, definitively, at the same time we do. That’s not to say that people won’t have a feel for how it has turned out, but that’s obviously not the same as knowing.

No they find out before the public. Always.
 
By a quirk of fate they can’t stitch us up with the worst possible draw because if they do they could potentially stitching up their favourute child, RM, instead
 
"We are obviously happy/disappointed in the outcome of today's rulings."

plus one of these extra lines ...

"We now hope to move forward in a positive manner with UEFA"

or

"We will await the full details of the award before discussing the matter further"

Far more thought goes into statements than this - even if, on the face of it, it seems like a simple one-liner.
 
It might be as Ayrshire notes but there is still little reason for such short notice when normally it’s a few days as Projectriver says.

The fact that there are no leaks is nothing to do with they don’t know and more to do with not blabbing after being warned already.

We know what we are accused of so found guilty it pretty easy to prepare a statement for that outcome.
