There's the CAS case as well.A fine is an easy way out for UEFA. They know they can't pin anything on a few seven-year-old emails stolen as part of a criminal enterprise. I wonder if UEFA have even seen the so-called emails. They don't have any evidence. The reputation of Der Spiegel is in tatters over separate (and admitted) cases of fake news. The hacker Rui Pinto is facing a big prison sentence.
But it all hinges on whether City accept "the pinch" this time. UEFA's lawyers seem to be gambling that City will not want years of legal battles that could cost them more than any fine. But what about the scumbags in the UK press who published all the smear allegations that City would be banned fed to them by you know who?
I think you're right mate. It's journalist sources. Unconfirmed, but I would say they are likely to be correct.

I know it probably wouldn't make any financial sense to fight a fine, but purely for the integrity of the football club and to show the world what corrupt fuckers are running football and who the clubs that they are pandering to, I would prefer City to categorically deny any wrong doing and let it go to CAS.A fine is an easy way out for UEFA.

We should go after Liverpool FC but I doubt we will. Our reputation has been trashed but it would be so hard for us to take any legal action against the smear sources. We could go after some of the tabloids though and also those at the BBC who repeated the false allegations as fact.There's the CAS case as well.
If this passes under the bridge we should go after Liverpool Football Club.

A few threats about compensation should we be vindicated, thrown into the mix also.
I'm just sick of how football has gone and would love it all exposed.
And then move on to relegating Liverpool from the Premier League and banning them from the Champions League.
I'd settle for the fine to be honest. Hope it's true. Others may disagree.
