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

I suspect that will only happen upon conclusion of the findings ... to our satisfaction.

True. Shame that.

I’d love to read a warts and all book about UEFA + the European Royalty Cartel clubs V City one day.

And how the bullied club won in the end against all the odds.

Me thinks Ziegler has been given quite a bit of proprietary information.




Source article from The Times:

Finally someone on our side

Sounds fiesty from us which i like but they want to find us guilty and chuck us out,i have no faith that they won't do it anyway

Conn on the case. He doesn't add much but the part I find odd is the last bit saying that CAS believe the decision to charge us could still be considered impartial even if a member of the AC had been the source of the leak.

As usual Conn finishes with....

The AC was understood to have heard the charges last month, and a decision is awaited. If it finds City guilty of deceiving Uefa over its finances it has the power to ban them from the Champions League, as recommended by the IC.

Just to remind everyone about a possible ban.

Conn. #c***t

However, you can access two articles per week for free if, as I do, you have a registration with them.

Obviously, there are rules about copying and pasting on here so I'll add just a couple of interesting extracts. There seems to have been a lot of bluster in response from Yves Leterme, who's quoted as answering MCFC at length, including the following: "Your allegations are groundless in the merits and unacceptable in tone. Please be advised that I will not continue such an exchange of correspondence and that I will not respond further to groundless accusations directed against me personally and/or against my fellow members of the IC."

And the last paragraph of Ziegler's story reads as follows: "The CAS findings describe the alleged leaking of information about the proceedings against Manchester City as “worrisome” and added: “It puzzles the panel how the CFCB Chief Investigator could be so confident to ‘vehemently reject [MCFC’s] allegations of unlawful activities’ but dismissed the club’s claim that Uefa’s finance bodies could no longer deal with the case impartially”.

Our tone,the cheeky fuckers

It seems a pretty fair piece.

Whichever order things happened in, presumably there is no certainty that it proved an inability to assess a charge fairly. Innocent until proven guilty, I guess.

It would be a bit odd to say how annoyed City are without referring to what one cause was. Seems reasonable to include it, and the AC does have the power to levy that punishment.

Walk into any pub and get talking to any rag dipper or fan of any club for that matter and the first thing they’ll bring up is ffp make that any bar in the world that’s what we’re known for being cheats because of these bent bastards

Funny because I speak to a lot of fans of other clubs when following City around the country and I can’t remember the last time any of them brought it up. Most match-going fans don’t give a fuck about FFP or the ongoing situation with City and UEFA. It’s the clueless fuckwits who wouldn’t know what the inside of a football ground looks like who spout off about it the most, often brainwashed by some dickhead journalists who have painted a totally biased picture based on unsubstantiated bollocks.

Thank you Blue Mist. So it's been a good day for us.

Weren’t they ruled inadmissible because no judgement had been reached and not because they were without foundation?

That's what I thought. It appeared to be 'first of all, the process has run its course'

We are defo it getting banned here. Which will then be over turned. UEFA are backed in a corner
