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

[Ban-jani]

I’m fucking pumped. Was ready to walk away last week but I’m behind the club no matter what after the statements from all those involved.

 

[kaz7]

Ferran has personally stuck his neck out there by giving that interview. An individual can hide behind a club statement but that is him personally putting his reputation and position on the line and he ain't doing that unless he is very confident about the facts.

I would think if we exhaust all avenues and we are still banned that he might have to go unless our owner still has a reason to trust him,bold move this interview

 

[Ban-jani]

Well if that is true then it just goes to show doesn't it - our owner has hurt them, more than anyone. He has shown how you can make a club successful whilst regenerating the local area and building infrastructure - this was never just about football (as we know) it is about money, power and profits etc etc

There’s a story of Vicky Kloss a few years ago getting abuse at the bar of some conference by a senior UEFA official. The hatred runs deep.

 

[Gordyola]

Is this the same BBC that have come out with such lines that 'Shiekh Mansour owns Etihad' etc. over the last few days? Credible my hairy arse hole.

The same BBC who's Manchester football correspondent simple simon stones (united fan) blatantly lied on radio when asked who is is on the Regulatory Chamber said "its not in the public realm who the members are" when it cleared stated on the UEFA website

 

[wattle]

Very strong words. “If” he was lying he knows he’d be made to look a fool and would be hounded out. So you’ve got to believe him. I thought if we had ANYTHING to hide he wouldn’t have worded it like that. More confident than ever now and convinced that we’ve done nothing now

 

[DJBusinesscake]

What a fucking beast! Should speak more often!

'We will do everything that can be done to prove so' (that the allegations are false).

- No problem with UEFA, just the FFP Chamber.
- Ruling was political.
- Leaks through out.
- We cooperated but the Chamber was convinced of our guilt every step of the way.

What a great interview.

I like that he doesnt speak more often, because when he does, it has more impact.

I could not give 2 shits anymore about what the uk media or other club fan bases think, as long as we are safe in securing relevant partnerships and sponsorship's deals for our club (which going of the evidence we are)

Then i am fine with that. We are hated anyway

We should embrace the dislike for us , it sets us apart from the rank and file.

Who outside the inner sanctum embraced Fergie and Clough other than weak sycophants , if we want good things written about us in the media we will fall in the same way as other clubs have in a number of ways that will include on field results and the road back up is harder to climb even if you are universally admired in the press at least.

That must be greatly satisfying. Even more so when the penny drops that their cartel might just be on the verge of being outed and dismantled.

I'd say that the cartel have been outed in the media already.
Samuel, Souness and even Neville have alluded to it.
I don't do social media other than in here, but those that do should be pushing that description of those clubs at every related post and reply to these click bait merchants.
That's their tactic. The more it's seen the more it enters the psyche of those reading and will become the norm.

 

[roy.or.r]

Haven't posted here in a while but have been following this every day. My take on this is we have some damning evidence against the UEFA and the motherfucking cartel clubs and we are taking this to CAS. I hope we don't play soft this time and go for the jugular once and for all. Take down both UEFA and the clubs they cocksuck. Really excited with how Sorriano conducted himself in the interview. I, for one, say bring the ****s on.

No, because we wouldn't challenge this without the backing of Khaldoon and ultimately Sheik Mansoor. So even if we lose The owners as well as Soriano will have made the decision to fight it in the belief we were in the right.

When does the Etihad deal run out?
Anyone any idea what sort of price we would be looking at from an outside sponsor?

Think theres another thread that says we are already lokking at a different shirt sponsor but the suggestion was Etihad would remain as the ground and campus sponsor. Think it's in the next year or so.

Next year.

About a billion over the next ten years I should imagine!

 

[purplenose]

Exactly mate.

A rag fan has just read out the list of people supposedly on the panel that made the decision and they were all gobsmacked.

Gill, a Scouse Director, someone linked to Bayern, someone linked to Madrid.

I just said you lot will be going down with UEFA here and they didn’t even respond.

Delicious!

 

[hello]

I'm glad he said something but the production of that video was a bit weird, panning to shots of all the great things the club has done felt a bit propaganda-ey.

Cant believe they couldn't find someone from independent media to ask the same softbakk questions though, someone like Lineker would have loved to sit there and ask those same questions for the BBC.

I believe it was actually designed to stop Chelsea but they and Abramhovic sneaked in the door before the rules went live.. overnight he became an advocate (as he was then part of the clique)

Yes and the fact that he transferred some investment into loans so they had debt meant they could fit in better in those cartel meetings about interest rates and divvy uping the TV rights to better screw everyone else.

If anything Conn, or anyone else wrote, was actionable, it would have been taken down by now.

Only if someone threatened action. The Guardian team have published lots of actionable content (as have others) and quite a lot has been exposed on this forum. I am not talking about opinion pieces from people like Liew no matter how offensive. It is stories where the information is not true. There has been lots of it. City will not take action now (because they can't be distracted from the main fight) but let's see what happens after CAS.

 

[M18CTID]

Next year.

About a billion over the next ten years I should imagine!

Be funny as fuck if we got one of UEFA's Champions League sponsors on board and they were paying us more than UEFA get. That would boil some piss!

 

[pfazz]

I posted in the Media Thread that these people shouldn't be referred to as journalists. Call them click-baiters with some of them even being masters of their craft).

Journalism as we used to know it is dead in this country.

 

[wattle]

That's how thick this harris geezer is, he was the one asking the ridiculous first question post fa cup final about bungs and now he's skriking about city doing in house interviews?
Oh my fuckin life, I'm beginning to think this lad is on the autism spectrum.

Mate I’m on the autistic spectrum and I’m not as thick as this twat - or as ugly - so fuck off






;)

Proving the whole system is corrupt, is ran in favour and by the “elite clubs” and nailing UEFA in the courts to the point of destruction, will be greater and more satisfying than any title win.

(Except the 11/12 one)
