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

[MillsyTheMosher]

I would love to think that you guys are correct regarding Pep knowing etc but the way I viewed his comments where that he genuinely has no idea what will happen on Monday but that he trusts the club have done nothing wrong which is what he has said all along. I’d actually take a reduced 1 year ban- wouldn’t be a disaster by any means.

Negative and positives over the last 24 hours:

1) Questions raised about Cheesy's info (upon which much hope was based),
2) Pep's post-match confidence.

If City have the result but its embargoed, then I don't see how Pep makes those comments, but if we have yet to hear then much of the rumour is false.

The top brass might remain tight lipped but with how highly he is regarded there is no way the club hangs Pep out to dry in front of the world and make him look stupid in the end..could easily ask him to dodge all questions regarding the case with 'no comment till the announcement...' rhetoric
They know

FWIW, look at how we're playing since we restarted..

Arguably our best football of the season.

We smashed the dippers, no way did they want their arses handed to them on a plate live on TV..

Scored 5 against Burnley, Newcastle and Brighton..

Got beat against Southampton when it was basically like the Alamo, we could have scored 5 in that game quite easily too..

Losing at Chelsea when, again our heads didn't drop and we were far and away the better team..

Now I'm no psychologist but if we were going to get stiffed then I don't think we'd be playing at the level we're are currently..

It's human nature, The cloud hanging over the club would have a huge, negative effect on everyone and performances would have definitely been affected..

Pep's positive demeanour, coupled with us looking like we're back to something like our Centurions winning team, tells me all I need to know..!

At this stage I'd like to rely on more than psychology.

Pep wouldn’t exude that much confidence on the eve eve of the decision unless he knew exactly what the result was.

Why what will he do?

You'll get lines (and if you answer back, DETENTION ! ).

I am hoping so but I preferred the 'exonerated line' which is now questionable. I think City have been informed but the decision has been embargoed in which case Pep's manner is telling, but if the club haven't been informed, his comments mean nothing other than confidence in his friends.

Beware the impact of positive bias and wanting to believe. I am trying to look at it objectively.
