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

That's a very fair point, perhaps I am being overly cynical.

Could be being cynical, as I cannot speak for you, but I think its natural to think worst case scenario. The consequences are huge and for me one or two year ban would be a disastrous conclusion.

To hell with it, the Chocolate Block red is open, a sensational South African wine to get me in the mood. Our owners have not and will never let us down.

Not sure what you expect to find in the thread today though , apart from speculation, based on whether the club know or not. At this stage though it’s more than likely they do.

Would be interesting to know whether there is any history of CAS, officially or otherwise, giving advance notice of their judgement to appellants.

Will anyone be able to sleep tonight? I know I can't because in my timezone the result will be at 3.30 am in the morning.

No, a 1-2 year ban would be a fucking pain in the arse and set us back a few years. For 'huge consequences' and 'disastrous conclusion' please google peter swales, alan ball and york away.

The whole settlement process is seen by UEFA as a second chance. City did not accept they breached but that is not relevant to CAS especially where we are considering the scenario where they have found in UEFAs favour. Of course you are entitled to disagree.

I don't necessarily disagree. But my point was that there are a number of scenarios that might pan out. No way to know until tomorrow.

Disheartened? Erm you are the one who claimed (and I am quoting): 1) football is corrupt at just about every level 2) the CAS panel are susceptible to pressure 3) with most of life, money wins 4) City are guilty of at best bending the rules, at worst breaking them 5) City will only 'win' on a point of procedure

You do indeed seem Happy, happy

Oh dear, read it again. The salient point is 'football is corrupt at just about every level', a fact that cannot be argued against, and I note that you sensibly haven't tried.

To quote individual cases where corruption did not take place is not an appropriate response to 'at every level', it would only be an appropriate response if I had said 'football is entirely corrupt' which I didn't.

If we win I might in-mute Deleney on Twitter just to see that weirdos reaction

A one year ban wouldn't bother me as much. Two years would. Let's hope it's 0 years, though.

4th is online the line for them, which as we know is huge. Anyway I pretty much agree with you, I just said sometimes I do wonder especially watching the very strange decision the other night. We see incompetence every week in the premier league but that was just bizarre.

There are some terrible decisions each and every week in the Prem. I think sometimes we choose to focus on them only when they favour our nearest rivals.
