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

[Marvin]

Hidden. Transparent. It’s still an agenda and discredits absolutely nothing.

Hidden agendas? Nothing is hidden now. Nothing has been hidden for a very long time.

 

[Marvin]

I'm done with football. That's it. I'm sick of it. I'm done.

That will not be the response of most blues.

Yes I know that Marvin.

Have a look at what I was quoting.

Good luck to them.

 

[Marvin]

Yes I know that Marvin.

Have a look at what I was quoting.

I know. I was supporting you

 

[Proy]

Does the severity of the sanction play a little bit into City's hands with the CAS? It looks vindictive.

It is certainly vindictive.

I had a look back at the initial pages on this thread when the news broke and many reactions were the same. ‘Wow’ was a common theme. Most of us literally couldn’t believe it.

UEFA want us out of their competition and really is that simple.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

They might think they have picked the right club but they have picked on the wrong fan base.

Indeed, said it countless times, if it all ends tomorrow I’m content in what I’ve experienced over the last 10 years, however, plenty of fight in the dog left yet and this whole debacle has reinvigorated why I love the club.... a Remembrance of things passed, I’ve seen and experienced the dark times, more than prepared if it comes again!

 

[Parisian]

Had it in for us from the start. Let’s see if anything happens to PSG?

Bent competition, bent authorities. Not arsed about playing in it either way. As another poster said, hope we put kids team out against Madrid. Won’t happen though.

The amount of corruption in football is sickening. Premier league to UEFA, they will do anything to keep from upsetting the status quo.

I don't understand exactly what you are hoping for. PSG case has been ruled before City had even been in the storm eye.

Also, City case and PSG case are different. They say you have been lying and cheated the system by using those firms to pump the Sheik money through. In PSG case, it was always about the inflated value of the sponsors. The end result is the same, PSG and City are accused to have increased their revenues coming from their sponsors but the methods were different. The alleged methods employed are making your case more severe in the eyes of UEFA and the cartel and are the perfect justification.

 

[SidJames]

CAS have yet to uphold a decision on a ban from UEFA (4 I think?) lets hopr the trend continues.

This actually makes me more fearful the trend will stop.

 

[SidJames]

I'm done with football. That's it. I'm sick of it. I'm done.

See you Wednesday night :-).

 

[blueju]

No club in history has been through the shit we have since the ****s realised the implications of our takeover, I hope they all burn.

 

[Its in The Blood]

Didn't really need a poll to come to that conclusion did they.

I tweeted them the same. Waste of a Poll.

But the end result is the same no ?

It matters not if someone shoots you in the Heart,or stabs you in the Heart.

The end result is the same.

They need us now like they needed us in 1998... we didn't let them down then and we won't now

 

[B\connellblue]

The BBC wait for it"Ever since the badly handled dismissal of Mark Hughes in 2009, City have prided themselves on doing things the right way. They believe, with some justification, they have a good reputation."
Hughes got exactly what he deserved. His record since only reinforces that fact.

 

[bluegaz13]

I'm done with football. That's it. I'm sick of it. I'm done.

Grow a pair......this is exactly what the cartel wants

 

[Homar]

Even if the punishment is upheld in its full, we’ll certainly survive intact. I can’t imagine that there’d be the kind of mass exodus some have predicted. We’ll remain an extremely attractive destination for players.

I just hope that the club finally shows some backbone and bans those journalists that continually defame us whilst profiting from us. It’s fine to be critical. It’s not fine to pursue an agenda that seeks to undermine the club.

We’ve been expecting this for some time now. There’s no circus without clowns. We have nothing to lose by appealing to CAS but we’ll be just fine no matter the outcome.

Not the time to protect your own club just because someone on here has brought them up.

The how is irrelevant, when the end result is the same.

 

[jollylescott]

This just doesn’t add up.

It’s odd that UEFA president Ceferin attended the Shakhtar Chumps League game as the guest of City. Clearly conversations would have taken place between him and Soriano, and I’m certain assurances would have been given. From what Prestwich Blue has said, Ceferin asked City very recently to accept a fine and make some sort of conciliatory admission of guilt. I think this is probably why Sam Lee confidently predicted that City would not cop a ban.

A couple of other points. It seems that the reasons include a period after the original sanction for 2014 failures. Also, it seems to be strongly influenced by City’s alleged non-cooperation with investigators.

it goes without saying that City must fight this with every possible weapon. The economic cost, the damage to our reputation and the profound impact on our ability to retain and buy players. All are on the line.

it’s time to join the battle. City have always been underdogs. Nows the time to stand up and fight.

Platini sets up FFP yet removed for corruption?? PSG owned by Quatar, the same people who it has been proven bought votes illegally to get their country the World Cup??
Barca RMadrid avoid paying tax along with their highest earners who get suspended prison sentences.
LFC admit theft of data and hacking of a rivals computer system pay them £1m but FA/PL do nothing.
How come Platini softened FFP due to the Milan clubs money problems yet now Milan buying everyone, stadium being rebuilt etc??

All the above just swept under the carpet.

we the true City fans now put our hard hats on clear our throats and show the rest of football we are here to stay.
