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

Pity David Conn wasn’t asked about his new favourite team while he struggled to stick the knife in quick enough on the BBC.

Utter tw@t that Connt

They've banned us for two years as a result of the CAS appeal and to try to discredit the leak which said they would ban us for only one.

No CAS appeal CAS said that UEFA process had to be completed now it has and the gloves are off

 

[George Hannah]

He should be the object of our attention

Feel sick, we can't come back from this, this is like being called a nonce it sticks for life.

has it damaged Juve and PSG that badly - if they draw each other is it called " The cheats derby "?

p.s. - it would be if we drew any of them lol

 

[antspider]

Takes the pressure off needing to make top 4 for the next couple of years ;-)

Like it. Ha ha

 

[gh_mcfc]

Time for shock and feck awe

 

[bluetonium]

Only the beginning. I admit the size of the punishment is a surprise, but the fact that UEFA's AC apparently met and came to a conclusive decision on our punishment just hours after the full CAS report was made available, only adds to our case to be honest. The punishment doesn't fit the crime, even if we were guilty, and it's very evident this is a case of hanging something on us at all costs.

In my opinion UEFA have mistakenly taken the CAS decision as game over for City. They are very, very wrong. This could become a criminal case very easily.

 

[blue ranger]

If only one thing. It’s reignited my passion for going...

We stand together in moments like this, like we always have, fight them with our feet and voices!

I know ..... reckon some of our fans may leave games after 80 mins instead of 75 :-)

 

[SWPISHOME]

Well Sheikh mansour latterly played by their rules and they still did him.

Be smarter this time. Invest in the club and finish the job you started.

The racists think they have won. Not sure it's over but to be honest, how many blues really trust CAS?

Dont trust any of them Marvin. They're all a bunch of corrupt bastards.

 

[Coatigan]

So can anyone explain what we've actually done wrong then?

im not sure anyone has published uefa's verdict and reasoning yet. i'd certainly like to see the official decision.

sky already claiming the 5th placed team now take up the slot next season, anyone know if it is under appeal, if it allows participation until a decision is reached?

either way, affects recruitment, with uncertainty and reputation damage

 

[Marvin]

Also, to the people that "don't care", let me let you in on a secret: The money we miss out from Champion's League revenue comes out of transfers. The club are obviously trying to stay close to breakeven.

And look where that got us. We have been playing by their rules ever since we were sanctioned and now they double-sanctioned us.

Go to war. I like it. We'll win in the end but this is going to go on for ages.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Where have you been for 3 years ?

I’ve been not caring about the champions league

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

when does the appeal process start? If there is more than one level to appeal at, could the appeal go into next season and therefore they have to allow us to play in next years?

 

[Gordyola]

Does anyone know what will happen if it gets that far? I can only imagine that at the moment only the CAS can stop them imposing the ban. If that was the case we'd basically be out of the competition but we could potentially sue UEFA for loss of earnings, damages, players lost or missed out on to the tune of... Who knows how much?

City will go to law firstly with an injunction to prevent the ban then I don’t know what but it is clear from the statement that this is exactly what they will do

 

[rabby]

The Uefavirus?

Haha,yeah symptoms are paranoia,loss of logical reasoning and a misguided sense of justice.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Well, so far, we've lost every single battle so I think it would be prudent to expect to lose the next one and start planning our comeback, however long that takes.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I hope that's the spirit of most fans.

regardless of our views on how one sees the club I’d be amazed that any blue worth his salt would think to the contrary!

 

[maurizio]

Us against the world again. Already had my rag nephew mocking. What was all that from Sam Lee and others just before Christmas saying they wanted a small fine and were trying to negotiate but we wouldn't? Sounds like pressure from outside has got it's way. They have accused our owner of secretly funding the Etihad deal. But if Abu Dhabi have paid it and we can provide evidence then surely that's the end of it. It's all this "funded by a country" nonsense that commentators and La Liga keep coming up with that's done for us.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

No surprise UEFA have us over was always going to end up as a fight to the death in court.

Only thing that surprised me was that they didn't wait until the season ended.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Is CAS even independent? I don’t trust anyone. They’ll have infiltrated them somehow. Can’t see it being overturned. It’s difficult to beat corruption.
