Even if CAs come out with the verdict that we are not guilty on all charges. The damage done by UEFA and the G14 group of clubs will take a lot of undoing. The only way to do that is to take the lot of them to court. To and to sue them for either slander/libel or maybe even both. We should also charge UEFA for adding and abetting a crime namely that of hacking our system. The same would apply to Der Spiegel. As the offence happen in the United Kingdom the laws of this country should apply.

The board should start now to issue summons to the full board of Der Spiegel + it's owners of the impending trial. At once, the moment CAS find us not guilty on all charges. That we will be seeking substantial damages + costs. It has to be substantial to put of any other newspapers or journos from printing something that they know is far from true. Any decent journo/s should not be printing anything without a proper investigation.
You need a lie down. This is bonkers.

You should have suggested something along these lines before now and maybe let the club know your thoughts

Agreed. If CAS overturn this, that is the end of it. City won't be taking any legal actions against media or individuals, no cases against Liverpool for hacking or otherwise, no public and distracting "battles". City will move on and hopefully, so will UEFA. We are all well aware it won't alter certain parts of the media's view almost regardless of what a CAS judgement actually says.

In what regards to not going after Liverpool if we win against UEFA ?

We are led to believe that our club has done some digging which was supposedly meant to have been drip fed into the media until the covid outbreak - why do you feel that would change ?

Even if we win we should not let those that initiated and wanted to bring us down getaway with any of it
 
We seem very confident of being exonerated, we will look a bit silly if we dont overturn it.
Cant help but think it's going to be 1 year halfway house compromise.

I never said we wouldn't brief media, play the "game", be competitive etc. I said we would not be instituting legal proceedings.

All our competitors want to "bring us down". We want to bring down all our competitors. Its sport, its business. Thats life.

Of course, you are entitled to disagree. My view is as set out above.

Less than 50% in the poll think City will be exonerated. Thats not exactly very confident.
