N

i guess we can expect a string of stories against us in the media, on the run in to the heavyweight championship fight of the century . I expect the dippers ,scum and Arse PR departments will be working overtime .

Nah! Just the Qatari one.

 

[HelloCity]

What exactly is our defence ?. Any one got any ideas.

Factual account records and proof that the emails in question were taken out of context.

You really asking that?

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Bring. It. Fucking. On.

Kalhoon rips off his shirt like Hulk Hogan.

 

[BolinCell]

You really asking that?

Well yeah, because it better be good else the rags get in the CL if they finish fifth.

 

[mike1923]

A mate (Arsenal supporter - I know apologies blues ;)) seems to think if we do win the case then the Pl teams finishing 5th and the team finishing just outside last EL spot could appeal the decision at CAS. I told him load of rubbish. Anyone got a more informed view on this?

your mate is an idiot (no offence)

‘We know you’re reviewed all the facts and decided City have no case to answer but we’d like to appeal that on the basis that it affects us so would you mind looking at all the same evidence again please and seeing if your decision changes?’

 

[Rammy Blue]

Well yeah, because it better be good else the rags get in the CL if they finish fifth.

So you’ve been living in a cave for the last 14 months?

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Hopefully if we win, at our first uefa game back win can sing “champions of C.A.S, you’ll never sing that”

 

[Zabbasbeard]

I have confidence in the people that run our club and I hope their confidence is well placed. I love the very fact that they are confident. My concern is whether CAS are an uncorrupted and therefore honest broker. I hope and pray that they are.

Favourite post of the week, I know it’s only Tuesday but still.

I guess we'll find out if all the amateur lawyers, ITK's and future predictors on here were gloriously right or disastrously wrong.

Feel free to call me a fool but I believe Soriano 100% when he said these allegations are completely baseless. The man was very convincing

 

[BosnianBlue]

Yep. If it goes wrong then someone at the club also needs to carry the can.

why? What is the difference between getting banned now or 5 years ago? Would you rather they complied with the bent rules and us not winning titles? Only eventual mistake is getting caught, but you get caught sooner or later, it's how influential you are to avoid problems after it. UEFA wouldn't give a fuck f Rags, Dippers, Madrid or Barca would get caught in similar circumstances.

I've got zero issues with The Club however this finishes. If they were fucking around with bent rules and 'm fairly sure they did, fair play to them, I'd have done the same.

Interesting that this has not yet been reported on the Grauniad, may be they are realising their reporting has been as accurate as Cadwalledr's on vote leave.

 

[Jazzman]

Wonder when the club starts to use all the shit it was claimed it has in store for our enemies. Before the hearing, or for revenge afterwards. Im any case CAS cannot be the end of this, because even if we win it will not ensure us against future attacks from the cartel. I think they only speak the language of force, so we need to make it hurt so bad on them that they will not attack us again.

 

[BolinCell]

So you’ve been living in a cave for the last 14 months?

Come to think of it I don't even know why we got booted out the CL never mind what our defence is.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not to me she doesn't

Yep, I was there too!

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Yep its everything on the table now shit or bust, every scrap of evidence against anyone on the table, every Eufa representative should be given a dossier when they walk in the room pointing out all their little indiscretions over the years, the times when they told the missus they were working late, and it was on a hooker, any little bedroom sports they enjoy ,all the bribes and kick backs that they have been involved with their whole life laid out for them and tell them this will all come out in the next 3 days in the courtroom, give them an hour to think about it and see where we go from there !!!

Have the ammo in the back pocket, but you only really need to anonymously arrange for the public downfall of one. Then a subtle, but timely wink will work for the rest.

 

[xgorton]

Hearing set for June,but don't expect result till July.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

At last!
Win or lose, I just want it done so we know where we stand and hopefully hear the evidence from both sides.
Though if we do win I guarantee we’ll still be branded cheats, there’s been so much mud thrown by UEFA and the press, that we’re already guilty in most people’s eyes.
It’ll be “money talks” etc..
Come on City do us proud.

Anyone who branded us cheats after a not guilty verdict would be sued within an inch of their lives.

To be clear, it is bigger than just playing Champions League football.

A lot of media outlets sweating bullets right now.
