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

[Pingu the Penguin]

We won’t make that mistake. The damage to our reputation caused by this is way too big, be the ban 1 year or 2. It’s all or nothing now

the very future of the club is at stake here

 

[CITYROBBO]

Our sponsorship deal was over inflated ? honestly is a 2 year ban worthy of that crime ? They were trying to find anything on us to kick us out and our lawyers be ready to fire

The term financial fair play is a joke.. why cant a club be bought and an owner invest into helping them compete ? seems unjust and corrupt to me.

 

[urban genie]

We should take our inspiration from other leagues, tennis ball protest on the pitch against madrid fycking up kick off times and tv coverage

Or everyone not turn up, but unfortunately that won't happen

 

[Blueknows]

UEFA and the FA have thrown everything at us from day one..this is BS and we know it...UEFA have become judge and jury on this issue and its about time the club stopped bending over and grow a set and start fighting back

 

[dave_blue12]

Sadly, I feel you're right, but by the fuck I hope you're not.

There we go UEFA, Liverpool, Man Utd, and media working in unison.

Of course the lobby will grow,

I don't think the Premier League can do anything now as city have appealed to the CAS, and so Premier League will have to wait.

The PL will only act if the final judgement wherever and whenever that might be goes against City.

If City win and seek damages it could finish UEFA, the PL won't want to go the same way.

 

[bewildered]

Won't be bravado.

The club statement basically is saying they will go all the way.

The CAS is the opportunity for "the establishment" to de-escalate this and I reckon thats what is most likely.

I can't see the club accepting any whiff of guilt though so they (EUFA/CAS) might have to try and brazen it out.

Could be more interesting than the football for a bit.

 

[razman]

Most City fans expecting to get beat against Real Madrid. What happens at the end?

we are winning the whole thing now !!

 

[moomba]

So we're banned from the champs league for two seasons, no mention of the Europa League though. Maybe we're trying to finish outside the top four on purpose. Lol.

The ban is for Europa as well.

 

[KS55]

I think it will be quite hard to take it up the arse and on the chin at the same time.

Threesome.

 

[Indaparkside]

Who are the cu nts on here week after week don’t boo the chumps anthem, well fuck you’d booooooo
Bent corrupt bastards

 

[stan bowles]

It won't happen but it would be great if we put out the under 9s against Madrid.

Don't employment laws prevent you from employing children after 9.00 at night ?

 

[flook]

A measured response from the club as expected. Make no mistake, our owners are astute businessmen who will have planned for this eventuality. Legal team will be in place and ready to react. UEFA have called us out and there will be an accounting. Now where's the popcorn

 

[Fordyboy46]

Knowing our spineless fuckers in the PR department, we'll offer a whole hearted apology and promise to co operate with UEFA all the way in future meetings. We're weak, weak as piss.

 

[SebastianBlue]

A senior football exec? In Manchester? Strange how he'd be privvy to this info... oh wait..

And you can put your mortgage on that tweet will now be used as background in our appeal to CAS.

We may even attempt to depose Stone.

 

[Gordyola]

Have we got irrefutable evidence that we haven't blagged these accounts then? As surely we wouldn't be releasing a statement like that and rusk getting more egg on our face.

I like how they've outlined the fact that we was basically already been seen as guilty before the investigation begun and that no other Third party has investigated us, its Al lcome from Uefa.

Where's PSG's ban?

How do they blah audited accounts previously pass off by UEFA? It’s implying that they accountants and auditors are fraudulent

 

[Kokonut1307]

Ben Johnson says hi:-)

Comparing PED to a fabrication with the purpose to maintain the football cartel? They can say whatever they want, we won our titles and nothing changes that.

 

[Whymewhynot]

Hmmm

well he doesn’t stand up and be counted does he. We’ve been treated like shit for a decade; what’s going to change

 

[Fordyboy46]

The ban is for Europa as well.

Ok, damn,

 

[RobinHood]

Can we be sure that Mansour will be supportive of the club going to war with uefa, or might he view this as mistakes having been made by people at the club.
Mansour sees the club development as a project,he's not a fan in the way the rest of us are,so there is a possibility that his response to all this may not be what we would like it to be.

Reputation - no matter the size of the investment.

If only it was like the movies.
