City have not done anything that would merit that type of investigation The accounts are audited by a respects firm and published in full UEFA have charged us in their kangaroo court of have broken their regulations, these were designed to protect their cartel of clubs

Much obliged Gordy. I thought that would be the case. However, having dipped in and out of this matter for months, I thought I may have missed something.
 
As I understand it the CAS judgement cannot be appealed in the Swiss federal tribunal.
However it has been suggested that City could challenge the legality of FFP under 'incompatibility with public policy' at the Swiss federal tribunal.

Interesting angle. I just can't help but think that City are putting another string in their bow but I can't work out what it is. It keeps bugging me that it has to be something to do with FFP. I think there are a few twists to this saga yet to come.
 
I could be wrong, but my reading of that threat is that they wouldn’t make public the evidence, and I don’t think an appeal to CAS requires public disclosure. However, if we take the appeal further and/or mount a case against FFP itself, the evidence will have to be made public unless sealed by the court officials presiding.

The fact that they made that assertion in the first place, though, tends to make one believe they aren’t entirely confident that the evidence for their decision is sufficient and/or comprehensive within the context of statutory review. I know from a few reports about UEFA’s concerns with the Galatasaray CAS appeal there is a contingent within the organisation that don’t believe FFP would stand up to scrutiny if framed as illegal restriction of trade and investment.

This exactly. Can you think of any other business or vertical where investment is even frowned upon,let alone legislated against?
 
I would write and advise them not to attend due to fears for their safety given the tendency of Mancunian folk to react strongly when treated unfairly by corrupt scum.

Any UEFA official who travels to this game must be mad. I reckon (and hope) the level of verbal abuse in the ground towards UEFA will be incredible. Then again, they're probably so full of their own importance that they'll be oblivious to it.
