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

I think what you're saying is that if a UEFA ruling contravened law ( is it Swiss law?) then they could be taken to court, despite the MOU?

That's my reading of the situation. I'm open to correction though if anybody knows otherwise.

That's my reading of the situation. I'm open to correction though if anybody knows otherwise.

I would think there could be grey areas where we could be punished by UEFA unfairly but it could be open to debate whether any laws ( Swiss?) had been broken.

Don’t forget one of the things that kicked everything off was a leak from inside UEFA’s panel. One that was referenced in our press release and the fact we’re going after their process.
They made a rod for their own back, If they do announce we’re banned then we push that as proof the council leaked information and was never impartial.
City played a blinder

And the committee is still leaking which continues to help us.

Sorry, but I can’t take that article seriously when in the 2nd paragraph there’s such a clear and obvious error:

To the judge, the math at Paris St.-Germain simply did not add up.

In one free-spending summer in 2017, P.S.G. made the two most expensive acquisitions in soccer history, paying more than $400 million to add the star forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappé to the French champions’ star-studded roster.

PSG didn’t buy Neymar and Mbappe in the same summer transfer window. They bought Neymar, and loaned Mbappe, purchasing him the following summer. It’s complete and utter bullshit like that which has turned me off reading the rest of the article.

 

[Newman Noggs]

What this article shows is that the outcome of a particular investigation is required by the non-investigatory part of the process to reach pre-determined conclusions. Something we already knew but a very dangerous situation for a non-G14 participant in the process.

More shallow shit publishing. At least one absolute howler in there where they've printed UEFA instead of CAS. Shit writing that forces you to re-read to get the meaning. The arsehole that wrote it lazily and erroneously equates City's case, methods and actions with PSG's. The real story is the implied corruption that colours the investigatory panel's conclusion that PSG had no case to answer because they just squeezed inside the financial parameters. UEFA's own adjudicatory panel disagreed and punished PSG but the investigatory panel's conclusion sank their decision before the CAS. A cynic would see that as a very convenient arrangement between the investigatory panel and PSG. Another person might think it a lucky coincidence. The NYT and the punk of a writer insist it's evidence that UEFA isn't tough enough on financial rule bending but they can put that right when City are up before the beak. There's potentially a huge story about cheating there that's got nothing to do with City but, like Liverpool's phantom stadium preparations, it's been swept under the carpet by these bent bastards.

They signed him on loan with an obligation to buy. So basically we'll buy him but only pay you 15 mil this year

Exactly. But they didn’t buy him in the same summer that they bought Neymar as suggested in the article. There’s fuck-all wrong with PSG loaning him with an obligation to buy and loads of clubs do it.
