Lot of City blue tinted shades here. We're not innocent, we've known that for years. Its funny how supposed adults can be so biased just because they "bleed for their club". I agree the penalty itself is harsh and think we should fight to have it reduced but we deserve to pay some form of penalty.
I keep seeing the sentiment "other clubs do it all the time." If that makes skirting and breaking rules okay I sure as hell hope you aren't raising children or have a job that overlaps with my interests.
That it's us... of course they are twisting the knife and piling on but we fucked up and we should be held accountable.
That this is all some elaborate anti-City conspiracy is rubbish and makes me realize how much sport- as much as it can unite- does just as much to polarize.

We are innocent, as far as I'm concerned, as long as we can hide the fact we screwed FFp rules. Who gives the fuck about bent rule, it's football equivalent of abiding by apartheid rules. If there's a loophole we can use for uefa to not be able to prove anything, we're innocent. If you don't think there is an anti-city agenda with ffp just existing, then with all due respect, fuck off.

Another guilty verdict, please explain to all exactly where you have this cast iron evidence of guilt?

If you are counting stolen emails, have you seen them? Can you clearly state their exact context? Can you vouch for their authentication and prove they were not tampered with? The person who stole the emails, is he currently in jail and also subject to extortion charges, so a blackmailer?

No blue tints for me, just want you and the others to clearly state these facts of guilt, and I have no idea what evidence City will submit, but I know City clearly stated they have said evidence to clear our club, so I will wait and see what evidence our club submit before I myself clearly state we have no case to answer, all you Petrocelli/Quincy/Columbo should do the same, this has only just started and the end is not as yet anywhere in sight for City or UEFA.

P.s. the above three were fine detective, medical examiner's, lawyers, haha.

But we can't agree to abide by the rule, then break the rule and whinge about the rule.

Can you specify exactly what we're guilty of?
 
This is a really good write up (below) in the New York Times that shows how UEFA colluded with P.S.G. to help them cheat FFP.

it also shows the key part played by our main adversary at UEFA Yves Leterme....if it was written in King of the Kippax you would assume it was complete bollocks...but it’s not, it’s the New York Times.

If we go to court after CAS we'll have to do this anyway. There's no getting away from it. The question is where do City want to draw the line?
In theory CAS is an independent body which means we would be getting our case across on equal terms. Everything would be on the table but it would not become public till the end of the case and only then if we agreed. If reports are true UEFA haven't even considered our 200 page dossier of evidence and have just selectively leaked information to the media throughout the whole process. Let's hope nothing leaks out of the CAS process.
