Well I didn’t expect City to go to CAS before the AC made their recommendations.

perhaps we know what they are going to be and are getting a preemptive strike in.

"The Premier League champions have asked the Court of Arbitration for Sport to throw out the case that has been passed by UEFA’s investigators to its judges, people with knowledge of the case told the AP. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the details of the ongoing investigation are confidential.

City is challenging UEFA’s right to send the Financial Fair Play case from the investigatory to adjudicatory chamber for a sanction to be imposed, the people said. The Abu Dhabi-owned club is claiming there is no case to answer, challenging the legitimacy and haste of the investigation.

City declined to comment when asked about taking the case to CAS but had previously said the referral to the judicial branch “ignores a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence provided by Manchester City.”

It's called getting your retaliation in first.

So the club is trying to go straight to CAS rather than have to go through the PR disaster of being banned by UEFA'S kangaroo court and then appeal to CAS afterwards.

Should save a lot of time and a lot of reputation if true.

Excellent if true. A pre-emptive strike to get thise fuckers on the back foot.
