Has it though? Not in my eyes it hasn't, in the green eyes of the bitter pricks in the press it has.

Do you really think a professional businessman would cook the books and jeapordise the reputation of the club, put employee's livelihood's at risk and leave his name with a black mark next to it?

This is an organised assault from UEFA, if it's not them it's the FA, if it isn't them it's the premier league and finally to top the lot the absolute bastards who write their bile and vitriol in the press have been after our blood for years.

Our owners reputation is intact, is impeccable and Is as professional as ever.

I don’t think most blues would disagree with you.

But I believe the point @Keeper! Was trying to make is that our assessment is becoming less and less common among the people outside of the City organisation and current support, especially as the media continue to publish what are basically ‘hit pieces’, which will have an impact on the club.

Stefan's blog for ninetythreetwenty is a brilliant forensic analysis of the position as he sees it. This follows the excellent pods over the weekend.

He know's what he is talking about:
The author is a more than 20 year English qualified lawyer, current public company Chief Executive Officer, former General Counsel, former financial adviser to the Board of Manchester City and an experienced litigator including in matters of complex accounting. He knows little or nothing about CAS jurisprudence or the Swiss Civil Code and freely admits he could be completely wrong on all of the above given the scarcity of public documents relating to these matters.

I know a couple of others have linked to the article but I've not seen any comment here about it. Essential reading if you can handle the legal-speak:.

Thanks for posting. On the face of it it gives some confidence but I cannot think that UEFA would make such an error of trying to reopen the settlement period without their own legal advice providing a sound legal rationale for doing so. On the face of it it would seem to be too much of a schoolboy error. Very interesting article though.

Needs to align his text to the left. The gaps between words make it hard to read
 
(If Manchester City offered a vote to the fans.) CAS and Uefa offered a suspended ban with a heavy fine which way should we go?
