Correct. They don't have to audit our FFP compliance, just that our accounts show a 'true and fair' view. They will have formed a view on whether Etihad & the other Abu Dhabi companies are related parties however and they clearly accepted they weren't. If not then the'market value' test isn't applicable.

Having been on the audit side of a premier league club in the last 5 years, we did have to “review” their FFP filing so it is subject to procedures by auditors but no opinion provided. At least this was what it was at the time

Presumably you'd check it was filled in correctly but not asking the directors if any of the sponsorship revenue came from the owners indirectly?
 
Better minds than me on here. My only legal knowledge comes from the English Civil Courts and that’s only from the administrative side.
Now I have seen often, very often to be honest, cases that were totally in a state of logjam suddenly settling ‘on the steps’ so to speak. Now my question is could this happen In our case? A carefully worded statement from both parties? I actually asked a Judge, an Evertonian, this question and he didn’t know, to be fair he does specialise in insolvency law, might ask him about yoonited next week!

It could. In any proceedings the parties can settle out of Court. I've seen a High Court judge send the parties out after several days' evidence with a clear steer to come to an agreement with serious criticism of both sides for not doing so prior to the Hearing.

My gut feeling, though, is that we're long past that point. Neither side can back down now.
 
It seems to have been forgotten in the midsts of time, but it is well worth remembering the Der Spiegel articles and how they were written.

Outside of a few hacked documents, it was primarily padded out over five days with nothing more than spiteful words to denigrate the club and its history, laying it on thick when it came to our lack of success over the last few decades.

It spoke as if we had basically appeared in 2008 and offered plenty of superior moralising.

City were right to cite it as a clear attempt to damage the club's name.

For me, however, the narrative from De Spiegel betrayed quite a lot in terms of an agenda being served on behalf of an outside party.

It had a very German-centric influence that wreaked of Bayern undertones.

My other conclusion, based on the current politics, are all roads pointing towards Qatar, certainly in light of the recent Facebook revelations about negative accounts being set up about City in India?

Both seriously have the motive. We know the hacker by name but he had no input into how it was presented?

surprised city haven’t employed a hacker themselves to dish dirt on tour rivals? Liverpool might be able to help us get one? ;-)
 
43 mate. Growing up they were known as the ‘glory years’.

I was 43 once Frank..!

If you halve the amount of years the dippers have been waiting to win something decent, add it to yours and subtract 1, next Wednesday, that's how old I'll be..



Slow down, I want to get off now.. Haha..!

Hasn’t the head of uefa already recently distanced himself from this issue?
