The outcome wouldn't have been the same though, because the yank 3 clubs and spurs would never have agreed to join knowing they could be voted out the PL with a 75% vote.
We and Chelsea joined at the last minute apparently and the whole ESL announcement wouldn't have gone ahead if we didn't.
This reminds me of when we got the FFP ban last year and at CAS they gave us a fine because we ridn't disclose the evidence we had to uefa when they charged us.
The club knew it may never go away unless we fought it in court, so we took the "resisting arrest" charge for the greater good.
This is a similar situation, we will look like arseholes for a few weeks but the other fallout wih the other clubs leaves us in a very favourable position moving forward.
COME ON CITY!!!
