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

Why the fuck does Martin Samuels work for this shower of shit?

I would guess because he is guaranteed independence of comment and articles - he has reached to top of his profession tbh. And writing for the Mail gives him a really wide reach of readership.
I’m not sure Sports Depts of papers have a ‘party line’ line like the front of the paper does re politics - the 2 are unconnected. I’m not doubting most papers including this one have a majority of football journalists who are anti-City, I just don’t think it’s a policy.
Also with Hammer-fan Samuel, he isn’t a necessarily pro-City imho, he’s just fair and neutral on us, and that’s why he shows the rest of em up for what they are...

Manchester City has launched a legal challenge to block UEFA’s pursuit of a Champions League ban for violating football’s spending regulations. Officials have asked the Court of Arbitrarion of Sport to throw out the case that has been passed by UEFA to it’s judges. [@AP]

City are challenging UEFA’s right to send the Financial Fair Play case from the investigatory to adjudicatory chamber for a sanction to be imposed. Officials at the club claim there is no case to answer, challenging the legitimacy and haste of the investigation.

UEFA’s ruling on Manchester City is expected in the next 7-10 days. An AC ‘Milan-esque’ situation with an appeal to the CAS is possible. It is ‘difficult’ to see Manchester City not playing in the Champions League next season.


For those trying to catch up

Thank you.

Interesting facts -
The latest story which states that City have taken this to CAS was broken by The Associated Press (AP) a U.S.-based not-for-profit news agency headquartered in New York City .
A source with knowledge of the case told the AP that City had provided conflicting answers to some questions.
The article which broke on the 13th May saying City were to face a ban by UEFA for breaching FFP, broke in the New York Times , following information given to them by someone close to the investigation.
The link New York and UEFA
Fenway sports owners of Liverpool football club and New York Times previously one of the largest shareholders in Fenway and Liverpool FC.

Liverpools former CEO Rick Parry and lifelong Liverpool fan is on the board of New York Cosmos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Parry
Rick Parry is also on the UEFA investigatory panel investigating City for breaches of FFP.

Is it a coincidence that the leaks are coming from news agencies in New york from someone close to the investigation.
Is the source of all the shit being thrown from Fenway, Liverpool and Parry ??? Not our neighbours from Trafford.

I think there is nothing to support much of this. It's easy enough to try drawing up links but it's all guesswork.

The trouble is that it will be quoted in the future as if it is fact - FSG is based in Boston, and it's big US franchise is there, not New York; it's 8 years or so since there was a NYT shareholding, which is a long time ago.

I have faith in the club. I am glad this is going to an independent body, as right now we are literally being tried by Liverpool and their media puppets.

In layman's terms I hope we fuck these bent motherfuckers up. I hope when we are done fucking UEFA's saggy bucket pussy that Rick Parry and David Gill will have no option but to come crawling out, drenched in the cum of our army of lawyers.

Careful wobbling that head ...

We met with them and heard nothing back for three weeks, despite assurances.

The next day, Uefa had kicked it up to their upper chamber.

This is a very clever move by City on a number of fronts.

You’re worse than your brother for not elaborating mate!

Come on, spill the beans.

Yet you’ve not posted in any of the ref/VAR threads?
So far you’ve only posted in here, in the Khaldoon end of season thread and the football leaks thread.
I can’t find any posts of yours where you “compliment City Rabin” or where you “speak out about the embarrassing childish (probably racist) puns about curry and nan bread.“ Can you point me in the direction of those posts?

Have a read of that the VAR thread, its not about VAR its about Man Utd getting 20 penalties so every thing must be corrupt. I have nothing to add to that conversation.

I never posted in the Rabin thread, I signed up with the intention of doing so as I said earlier but decided against it.

The UEFA lower chamber asked City questions - the result was the 100 page document. City were promised there’d be dialogue. City heard nothing. UEFA then passed it up to the upper chamber - obviously inferring a level of guilt. City now taking legal action on the basis that the lower chamber did not undertake a proper transparent investigation. I’m guessing Uefa panicked given they were out of time. Suspect we will win in court because I very much don’t uefa have followed their own procedure. Things getting tasty.

Any organisation who calls their top boys the upper fucking chamber will get their fucking arses given to them when it properly kicks off.

The upper fucking chamber.

The absolute fucking vaginas more like.
