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

[Sky Blue]

My prediction for Pep's presser on Tuesday is that he'll refuse to answer any question on this ffp bullshit and put it back in the medias court. Something like " I don't know enough about ffp, you're the experts, you know all the players are leaving, I'm leaving, we're getting relegated to league two". That would be the perfect response, wouldn't put it past Pep to use this sarcasm.

Not sure they'll be one as he's already done it for the West Ham game....

That letter screams either the football365 editor having one his writers fabricate it for hits or a United or Liverpool supporter posing as a blue to get his wind up published.

Anybody know any blues who think like this? Me neither.

I see they’ve wheeled out a big gun in Mark Ogden for our obituary. And by big gun, I mean massive weapon.

Two bloody years?

My United supporting friend sent me this. Actually quite amusing. Apologies if already posted

Accurate. Well done Olly.

My last thought for the day.
Abu Dhabi have one of the most sophisticated electronic intelligence operations in the world.
Just sayin.

Yet forgot to change the passwords of ex-employees! Just saying.

Yet allowed City to have an email system that didn't encrypt documents or emails between top execs.
Just saying.

What's the worst outcome we can reasonably expect?

I'd say it would be that CAS doesn't rule against UEFA but makes one season a suspended ban. So would a one season CL ban destroy everything our owner has done to date and prevent him from taking the club further forward? I can't see that it would.

Obviously a more preferable outcome would be that UEFA loses comprehensively on every point and FFP bites the dust but I'm not banking on that.

Fuck the league off, and go all out to win the CL. What more motivation can we as a fanbase and the club and players need to go and win it. Expect no decisions, expect to be on the wrong side of VAR and fixtures and just give them the biggest defeat of all by winning it. Then sit back and enjoy the ban. The CL holders banned! It would be brilliant and just the sort of thing City can do.

Parade the trophy and keep it. Never let them forget how we never got a chance to defend it. Take it to the CAS appeal with us and pop it down in front of UEFA. They can try and revoke it but the whole world will know we won it.

Win it then fill the trophy with bricks and drop it in the sea of marmama to be lost forever off the coast of istanbul.

I wonder how long before something leaks out. I must say Pep has looked super relaxed over the the last week. He has probably seen our dossier of evidence. The more I think about it the more I believe we must have a smoking gun. The public statements we have made would have been double checked by our lawyers. We wouldn't have gone in so strong unless we had powerful evidence.
This whole saga, including the Pinto hacking and Liverpool FCs hacking would make a great movie...but no one would believe the plot. You could throw in a bit of Pep's pals being locked up in Barcelona and the yellow ribbon protest for the European market!

You'd like to think so, but business corruption is endemic.

An unnamed Telegraph source tells me that James Ducker interferes with dogs. Easy this, isn’t it?

Can I send you an email saying I saw him sucking off a dog?

The other laughable thing is the time period we are being punished for we won the league and league cup we were hardly taking all titles.

All this 10 tainted titles bollocks is, though amusing, quite pathetic from desperate rags, saw one claiming they are really on 22 title not 20 because we stole two, next they will want the banner being put back up ;-/
