They hadn't though, as the 2019 case was initiated after 5 years had passed from the start of the period within which the alleged breaches occurred.

From reading Stefan Borson's piece on the 9320 blog this may be one of our strongest arguments. It's one thing to use illegally obtained e-mails but it's quite another to use them as a basis to support a time-barred investigation.

Yes, but only part, i guess, is time barred.
Edit ps. See @Prestwich_Blue post above

I've found a document that confirms the Etihad sponsorship was covered by the Executive Council, not ADUG. It was part of the Open Skies case brought by the US airlines against the Gulf ones (Etihad, Qatar & Emirates) and claimed that they were in receipt of huge government subsidies. As part of their defence Etihad had a presentation done for the Crown Prince, MBZ, by consultants Booz Allen.

Colin, I recently re visited the leaked/hacked emails on Der Spiegels website and the email laid out in copy defo says ADUG provided the additional funds. Do you suppose that's a mistake by Pearce, or an instance indicating those emails are fabricated either in part or otherwise?

No they should keep quiet and say nothing, until they announce their decision. That’s normal, not odd, fucking social media age

Fairly sure there is a misunderstanding.

My post you responded to was referring to CAS’ statement prior to UEFA’s announcement of the ban/fine and our subsequent appeal being submitted.

As far as I know CAS have not made any public comments since City submitted the appeal.

It wasn't considered because they didn't have time. They had to pass the case to the AC by 15th May, to avoud it being timed-out, as it would have been over 5 years ago and therefore outside their own limitation on reopening a case. They'd only opened the case a couple of months before.

But there's a doubt as to whether that date was even the valid one, as it totally depends on when the breach actually occurred. If CAS decides it was before 16th May 2014 then they'll have been out of time and i assume the case will be dropped.

Thanks for clarifying this.

Can i just ask though :-)

Is it right for me to assume that even though UEFA did not read the dossier sent from City.

Legally they still technically received City submissions.Meaning they will still have to send this evidence over to CAS with everything else ?

Thanks in advance.

Ps Love your posts mate.

What is this supposed to mean?

Both City and UEFA get to pick one sitting judge each on a panel of three.

It will come down to who the 'independent' is.

City and UEFA appointments are from a CAS pool Im sure that they will not be too biased as they will have reputations to uphold

Watching this with interest, as for me winning this case against the corrupt governing body will be a greater victory for our club (and the wider football community - even if they don’t see it yet) than any champions league trophy win.

Simply put - this is the biggest thing for city since the playoff final.
