I think if it was just a case of City presenting the evidence it would be dead by now.
I doubt any of the judges will be in the pay of Bayern, unlike Leterme.So much for the primacy of the UEFA adjudicatory chamber if they are vacillating all over the place. We are told by a member on here that City's COO told the City Matters fan forum that the UEFA President Ceferin was trying to broker a negotiated settlement involving City accepting a nominal fine but no ban but that City turned this down. Sam Lee's comments about his sources, the Silverake investment etc all support the belief that UEFA had softened its stance.
The problem is not technical. Opponents of City like David Conn accept that the Etihad sponsorship was fulfilled by the UAE state and not Sheikh Mansour (as suggested by the Football Leaks). I think if it was just a case of City presenting the evidence it would be dead by now.
The problem is political. Rival clubs want a piece of City. City's owner is a wealthy Arab and persona non grata. City are in the hands of a group of judges now. I am not sure why we should trust them any more than we should trust the UEFA AC. They are drawn from exactly the same milieu of people.
Do you understand what its actually saying ??Thst Swiss ramble is a bunch of shit with some graphs stapled to it, adds nothing and talks about nothing and assumes our guilt.

I'm not entirely sure milieu is the correct word to deploy either. Judges tend to keep themselves to themselves. It's usually an isolated existence and can be a very lonely job.I doubt any of the judges will be in the pay of Bayern, unlike Leterme.
The same blog now alleges Alti fan is following the same template.
It can’t be considered irrefutable if they refused to look at it.
They built, made and hung their entire case on stolen emails.
I would also like to see those emails.
The thing with an email, it’s all about context. It won’t prove a thing as long as the books say otherwise.
That UEFA were trying to broker a deal whilst putting their whole investigation on hacked emails, tells me they were shitting it.
I genuinely don’t think they expected us to say fuck off. They assumed we would take a deal.
The velocity of the punishment is akin to the reaction of a petulant teenager.
