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

[slbsn]

Publication can only be suppressed if both parties agree, if only one party wants that the judgement will still be published.

R59 - The award, a summary and/or a press release setting forth the results of the
proceedings shall be made public by CAS, unless both parties agree that they should
remain confidential. In any event, the other elements of the case record shall remain
confidential.

Not one significant UEFA CAS FFP judgment has been suppressed. All public.

I doubt Cheeseman has completely fabricated it. Seems more likely that he may have just over-egged what he’d heard.

 

[Marvin]

Read what is being said.

Even if Cheesy is spot on. This is the BS were still up against.

PR wonks trying to find a stick to beat us with regardless.

What worries me and I hope this me over thinking is that last night the club briefed 2 city journalists (Blackburn and gauguan) that whatever the outcome of the appeal Kdb is open to staying.

That is no doubt fantastic news, I can’t help but feel it is a bit of damage control from the club. You just know if we do get the ban the media, fans of other clubs will be saying kdb is off blah blah blah.

just a thought.

I see it as the opposite. The press are saying he's off if we get the ban, so logic tells you that if we don't get the ban he's staying.
The press, particularly with us, like to address matters with a glass half empty.

It's 9:15am on a Saturday morning and I've been glued to this thread for two hours already. I think that's my weekend sorted. This will be my last contribution for a while because I don't want to create more reading for people without anything important to say.

For what it's worth, I think little weight should be attached to Ian Cheeseman's tweet yesterday. That doesn't mean to say that he may not turn out to be right but he has subsequently become conspicuous by his absence since posting that tweet. We're all City fans, of course, but he is a borderline obsessive City fan. He even admits it himself. Ask yourself this - is it plausible for a mad keen City fan, with a relative fall from media grace, to try to seize the story about the best possible news we've had in a long time? I think so, and, in the absence of any other information, I'm discarding what he said.

Pep's apparently bullish press conference yesterday may be more indicative of a positive verdict. It is perfectly conceivable that he knew at that point and it would be surprisingly forthcoming for a man who does not know to say what he said less than 72 hours before the whole world knows.

I think we should ignore your last paragraph as guesswork . You disagree with Ian’s post and that’s fine but trying to stick the knife in with comments like “fall from grace” seems a bit excessive to me. Ian doesn’t need to add anything to his tweet if he is right?

Come on Colin,you can do better than that,he is a good mate of yours,surely you have sent him a text for a bit more light to his tweet ?

No. I've no idea who his source is and have no interest in knowing. But I do know that, quite separately, we appear to have been told the same thing and I have corroborating evidence that the club will have known the outcome with certainty before yesterday.

People are saying the Guardiola conference made them confident, it made me less so. I know this is a mental amount of reading into it, but he looked quite uncomfortable when answering the UEFA question - stopped looking at the camera completely while giving the usual "I am very confident, club have assured me, blah blah" answer. Probably talking bollocks but it felt to me like someone shielding incoming bad news more than someone relieved.

ya i thought about this too....Monday morning can't come come soon enough !

I'm not sure moving the date is an indication of anything except limiting access to UEFA officials from the media which they would have had on draw day. Regardless of the decision they don't want some junior official coming out with something inappropriate. I agree about UEFA leaks though had it gone the other way. We'll see!

In isolation, i'd agree. At the time, even argued as much.

As a peice next to other peices we have rwcently seen of the bigger mosaic (pardon the kit theme pun), it means plenty.
