City are arguing that a biased process has not been conducted properly, questioning Uefa’s legal competence to pursue the case and claiming they have no case to answer.
But CAS have now confirmed to SunSport that City’s claim has NO effect in terms of
stopping Uefa’s ongoing process.
And that means the five Judges who comprise the Adjudicatory Chamber of Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body do have the right to impose their sanction as they see fit.
A spokeswoman for the Lausanne-based Court said: “There is no stay on Uefa while the CAS proceedings are in progress.”
CAS announced last week it had “registered” City’s appeal and that it would now study the written submissions from both City and Uefa.
The Court was unable to provide a timetable for its decision but the news that the Judges, led by Portuguese Jose Narciso da Cunha Rodrigues, can continue with their deliberations will be a blow to City.
