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

[slbsn]

Maybe Project would be kind enough to clarify?

We asked for three pieces of evidence to be submitted after a Uefa deadline imposed?

CAS has subsequently ruled they can be used?

Think they were referred to as A93, 94 and 95?

Yes - but its anyone's guess what they were. In any event City would have included key documents in written submissions to CAS for the appeal.

"On 8 August 2019, the CAS Court Office informed the Parties as follows: “The President of the Panel, with the agreement of the co-arbitrators, has decided to admit into the file the new evidence filed by the Appellant on 2 August 2019, namely exhibits A-92, A93 and A94. The reasons of this decision will be communicated by the Panel in the preliminary award on the admissibility of the appeal.”"

Then I think plenty will end up disappointed?

We may win or lose on technicalities, everything after that is whatever confirmation bias others will place upon the verdict.

I couldn't care less if we have sailed close to the wind, these rules have tried to thwart us at every turn.

I'd be disappointed if we were sloppy enough to have been caught with our hands in the cookie jar, but I won't lose any sleep if fans that were previously in our corner suddenly think worse of us.

I don't think the win would be "technicalities" but I think this is how it will be spun. So I agree - expect to be disappointed

Apparently it could take up to two months for the CAS ruling to be released. I think the Greed League draw is usually the end of June but guess that will be put back as the final standing from the Premier League won’t have been decided. I think the best case scenario is a reduction to a one season ban which won’t hurt us that much.

Thanks. I suspected one to be the Etihad transactions.

I know City did not trust certain pieces of evidence being handed over at the time.

A win against a corrupt set of bastards and contrived obstacles will be a good outcome - and public perception is unlikely to stop us performing or achieving things .

Yes, when I mean technicalities, I just mean Uefa ignoring their own processes in a rush to judgement.

Lord Pannick seems perfectly suited to seeing loose threads which need to be pulled upon .

City live to fight another day and know changes to FFP are coming.

Quite appropriate for the current climate, and our specific circumstances

Based on what?

Not a single person here has seen the evidence, or the counter evidence but many are sure of their own conviction that we're either getting the ban upheld, exonerated or a 1 year reduction. If you make a prediction, back it up with something. Otherwise it's a complete guess and a waste of time.
