UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

I am confused here. How should Sheikh Mansour be referred to in an email?

As HH Sheikh Mansour

 

[Sir peace frog]

hows about this thought,
UEFA are being used by the dirty dozen clubs who actually rule European football, they've set UEFA on us knowing weve done no wrong so will lose, sue UEFA they go bankrupt ,then the dirty dozen set up their own superleague and blame us ,


fuck this conspiracy theory has gone to my head :)

HE = His Excellency

No. Officially, it would be His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

I’m confused about this aspect. I have seen various assertions that through protocol HH refers to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, as you say PB, however other (official) sources aslso refer to Sheikh Mansour as HH?

See PB's post from yesterday which links to a pdf report stating that the Etihad Airways sponsorship monies was fulfilled not by Sheikh Mansour or ADUG but by the UAE executive council. That is fundamental to the case against City. That report undermines the suggestion that ADUG paid MCFC for the Etihad sponsorship. You might say it kills it.

That is just one piece of evidence that is out in the public domain and ignored by teams of investigative reporters. I suggest that if UEFA have ignored such evidence then it's them rather than MCFC that should be worried this morning.

All royals in the UAE are HH but their name after (HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed etc). But HH without any name is (I'm told) the Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed. Someone else says it's the Emir Sheikh Zayed but HH without a name definitely does not refer to Sheikh Mansour.

me too thought the leader of the country was

HH =His Highness
with his deputy being HE=His Excellence

I am confused now !

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

That’s some evidence Colin. You should be on City’s legal team.

Haha. I'd be chucked out of court for using bad language within 15 minutes.

But the Booz Allen presentation was leaked a few years ago and we already know the club (and presumably Abu Dhabi) policy on legitimising leaked or hacked documents.

 

[tonea2003]

I shall ask him what he means by “football clubs should be run by football men”?

presumably he means the glazers, j w henry etc

If this is correct, and this is where I am confused, why are some City fans saying the hacked email can show us to be guilty because we are confirming what UEFA think and that Sheikh Mansour paid the sponsorship monies directly. This isn't what I understand the email to be saying
