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

I've got a leak that the Etihad has a leak in the legends suite.

I’m not certain, but I don’t think that’s how CAS operate.

"I suspect no one and I suspect everyone" as Mr Sellers once said..

Wonder if the execs are pulling an all-nighter together

This thread is moving forward quite fast and I’m afraid I may miss something important. It’s late so if I miss anything I’ll just have to check in, in the morning.

Good luck to all our fans and let City prevail.

Maybe nothing but Pep said the board will make a statement on Monday about the next month, short term and the future or something similar. That has me concerned a little.

Pep's comments doesn't fill me with confidence. It seems he is trying to distance himself from that "long time ago" quote.

Something I have not understood this past week, and even less so after Pep's latest comments, it seems to be common knowledge that CAS let the two parties know the result before going public. Some of our very own experts on this subject, Prestwich Blue and Project River say this.

As it appears to be in the public domain why is everyone, pep, the club, journalists, all pretending that we don't know yet?!

Because the usual protocol in civil arbitration cases is that both parties get advance notice of the preliminary draft verdict on condition that they both agree to a strict embargo for when this is revealed to the public. Sometimes the parties even get a chance for some basic fact checking to ensure no stupid errors (name spellings etc) are made.
I have been involved in these sort of cases in the UK and it is very common for the draft to be sent to the parties lawyers on a Friday for release on the Monday. In my experience it often arrives late on the Friday stressing everyone out because they have to work over the weekend on the Communications and Media response which is very complex for a group like CFG with so many stakeholders. The Directors at City and UEFA will have known by Friday at the latest but they can't breach the agreement to keep it under wraps till Monday. The details of the judgement usually come many weeks later and this may be frustrating for everyone.

Based on those pep quotes I think we’ve lost especially the part about how 90% of it happened with other people. Sounds like deflection and a bit of hidden anger like “we’re getting fucked by Some decisions from other people”.

Not confident at all now
