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

If we do get kicked out of the Champions League, I'm going to really miss playing Shakhtar Donetsk.

:-)

all this angst for a competition everyone hates.

Just received this WhatsApp from a mate I’ve been discussing it with. I can’t see how it can be known beyond a select few at the club so I’m urging caution. Oh, and don’t shoot the messenger please!

I'm friends with two different branch secretaries. One, who has a real close link with the club, says club has not been informed of the CAS decision but are confident of a positive outcome. The other one says I had the same email that Ian Cheeseman had and we have been cleared. Take it as you want

One in, one out mate.

I thought that was just for the mod's gloryholes?

Seems unlikely to me, but not completely implausible. Have heard a few people claim that the club will only find out tomorrow morning, a few hours before the announcement.

This still seems like the most likely explanation to me. Nobody is leaking because nobody has anything to leak.
As Ben Franklin said; “3 people can keep a secret, as long as 2 of them are dead.”

I spoke with a guy at City who I know well this morning he said it’s all quiet and being kept to a select few
So I not sure how that works

Seems straightforward. There's probably a very small group of people that know, and they're all high enough in the organization that they don't leak to press. Does anyone really think guys like Omar Berrada are texting journalists?

 

[cleavers]

No. I mean the idiots who left a trail of emails for subjects that should’ve been communicated person to person.

Furthermore, if it goes negative and they could’ve had a fine, but told UEFA to shove it, how does that sit?

Are these the same "idiots" that have overseen us becoming one of the top clubs in europe ? How long have they been "idiots" kenny ?

What’s Pep said tonight ?

He`s got so many in a flap on here all because he said it was a muffin.

Interesting! Who sent the e-mail - Der Spiegel? ;)

Really didn't think we'd get to Sunday night with seemingly zero leaks or info at all whatsoever (not having cheesys tweet in isolation). Feels like little or nothing at all for us to brace ourselves for the colossal 9.30 announcement!

Think it’s only natural that people get more edgy as the decision draws closer. I went to bed last night brimming with confidence, but inevitably a few nagging doubts have re-emerged today. This is City, after all. If I think rationally rather than emotionally though the signs are largely positive.

Still amazed that there have been no leaks though. Absolutely nothing has come out of the club (or indeed UEFA) which is strange. Must’ve been a very strict embargo from CAS on this.

Considering we were using Uefa's leaks to our advantage it stands to reason that the select few who know the outcome have kept tight lipped. It may also help with there being limited staff back at work.

I'm of the opinion that the only way we agreed to a delay in the official release is if they still found out on the actual expected date.
