If such emails exist it would be nice to know who the daft fuckers were that sent them

indeed

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

You like myself have NO fucking idea as to what was being discussed.

Eh? Did I say I did?

 

[chaddblue]

if we go to CAS and get this overturned or reduced, we’ll still be at war with UEFA and they’ll continue to try and bring us down. If we accept the punishment we’ll be UEFA’s whipping boys and they’ll continue to hold us back

The only way forward from here is to destroy them so they can never do this again

Jug ears Linekar just tweeted that he’s not sure we can afford the legal fees.

He should be more concerned about Mariah Carey pinching his fucking crisps

The PL will only act if the final judgement wherever and whenever that might be goes against City.

If City win and seek damages it could finish UEFA, the PL won't want to go the same way.

Given that most of the people at UEFA seem hellbent on destroying English football (backed up by clowns like Tebas) the Premier League would be fools to dance to UEFA's tune. The biggest threat the Premier League faces at present is an expanded CL.

If, a big if, UEFA can make the main thrust of the case against us stick are we fucked?

This is the apparent exchange of emails saying that Etihad were paying only 8 mill of their sponsorship with Sheikh Mansour putting his hand in his pocket for the rest.

Maybe it depends on the long term attitude of Sheikh Mansour. Might bring him back to the party.

 

[give it to gordon]

how are hacked emails allowed to be used by UEFA ? they are stole

 

[Vienna_70]

They already have IIRC 4 legal teams involved

It wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[Marvin]

I always liked City better when we were the underdog. That's why most of us supported them in the first place.

Are we going back in our box then or what? CTID.

How exactly do we destroy them?

It’ll be overturned. Simple. Same as galatasaray in circa 2016-7

the same people who won’t aren’t educated in such processes and thought trump would be impeached and he’s about to win re-election

there is no way we will not reverse this. Goodnight

 

[MillionMilesAway]

I can see City's attack being to go after the IC primarily, as that's where the process has been screwed.
They may have something on the AC.
I think they will try to differentiate between those two and UEFA as a whole.

 

[iwasthere1968]

It’s in our DNA

I defy anyone who tells me that there isn’t a more prepared fanbase, bring it you ****s!

I like the sentiment but the "its in our DNA" sounds a little ....how shall we say ? raggish?

 

[TINY]

No wonder Sané wants to leave.

I blame Kevin friend

This is from the Conn article.

One of the emails, from City’s then chief financial officer, Jorge Chumillas, headed “Cashflow”, stated that Mansour’s own company vehicle, the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), would be paying £57m as a “contribution to 13/14 sponsorship fee”, while only £8m was Etihad’s “direct contribution”. Then Chumillas sent invoices for Etihad, internally to the City executives Ferran Soriano and Simon Pearce, stating that for 2015-16, the Etihad sponsorship was £67.5m, of which “£8m should be funded directly by Etihad and £59.5 [sic] by ADUG”.
​

The issue is whether ADUG paid City and we called it sponsorship, or Etihad paid City after ADUG paid them. If it's the latter then there cannot be a case to answer, as UEFA have absolutely no legislation where a sponsor gets their money.

If ADUG paid us, even on behalf of Etihad, things might get messy.

But how does that work... Isn't Leicester owned by King Power? You know the company that sponsors their stadium and shirts... many other examples of this too throughout football

This is going to get very tasty fellow blues. It will be interesting to see what city will do.

[give it to gordon]
