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

I don't get why people can't see any of this is possible.

I know what you mean. I'm starting to think there is a strange bias in favour of man city on this forum.

I don't doubt the owners would continue to support the club. No question. They are good men and true.

It isn't about how the owners would react , we all already know that. It's about how the club would be destroyed - legitimately if this crock of shit sticks - by those interests that have wanted an excuse to do so since 2008.

And how would they expect to do that?

I think you are number 7 on Tolmies fishing hook.

Hook line and sinker mate!

Where Etihad, or anyone else, gets their money from is irrelevant as long as the ‘related party’ sponsor is in keeping with market value, from my limited understanding. Either way FFP has changed since the time of these allegations anyway

There is also absolutely no way that any top team(s) will be lobbying UEFA to do away* with FFP anyway, I bet they are all quite happy with it, City included, as it stops competition and keeps the Champs League tills ringing

*obviously there will be discussions around the rules given CV-19

I agree that FFP is going nowhere, and that we're behind the principle of it.

It all depends on what the FFP rules say, I guess. I've generally thought that the UEFA rule didn't necessarily follow standard accounting rule (but didn't contradict them).

Makes no sense at all, what would be the point of trying to counter it if we know its bad.

Getting the counter-argument out there before the media storm begins. Nobody's going to stick up for us except us.

I don't wish to be the harbinger of bad news, but I've just walked past the Etihad, and Gazza is sat outside with his fishing rod and a box of fried chicken.

They are for David Conn!

"Don't look, Ethel"...

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Ha ha

No, not for a bet
Wanted to forward to a bookie mate who doesn't believe it was real.

It wasn’t.

All i can say is that it better go our way! Just spent 6 days with family in Exeter and returned to find some scrotes have broken into the house and nicked watches and jewellery. Couldn't find the car keys they were after, so we haven't lost the runaround but i'm fucking fuming at the moment. One set of patio doors required . A few sentimental brooches and lockets gone, worth fuck all to someone else, but everything to me

Sorry to hear that pal, it’s horrible when that happens. It’s happened to me twice and is not pleasant. These low life’s don’t understand the psychological and emotional impact. The financial loss is tolerable it’s usually the fact that they have entered and trespassed into your private space. Hope you get over it.

After weeks of waiting since the CAS hearing, I have to admit, I'm none the fucking wiser.
I hope beyond hope that we'll get exonerated, but I've always got a horrible feeling when UEFA are involved, we will soon know the outcome, I'm more pessimistic than optimistic but what ever happens I want to thank ADUG for giving us a great 12 years whilst fighting numerous accusations and blatant racism.
