‘The CAS can reconsider all aspects of the case – both the facts and the law. Therefore, every argument is potentially on the table when it comes to City’s appeal.’
Sounds good

And if the worst comes to the worst, surely the disproportionality argument comes into play. An effective £200m+ fine for evading "rules" which are now generally accepted, even, publicly, by the likes of Wenger, as having the effect of preventing investment and preventing fair competition.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a reduction to a 1yr ban. We (and our top players) can live with that.

I’m hoping we are completely cleared of any wrongdoing whatsoever and all charges are dropped

So you have judged the case and found us guilty already

Exactly, as all fans should be.

I was a dyed in the wool Kippax man by then. We were dreadful in the home leg!

At that time Fenerbahce and the standard of Turkish football was garbage. Back then they were the equivalent of a team from Belarus now. On passing through the Kippax turnstile I could barely believe that I'd be seeing my team play in the European Cup. Later in the game I could believe even less that Mike Summerbee missed an open goal from about two yards out.

Bit of a strange stance that.

One thing I will say regarding the report mentioning how CAS operates as independent from uefa.

When Leterme was putting through the details of the PSG case, the case he reported in favour of the Qatari owners, it was the CAS chairman José Narciso da Cunha Rodrigues, that was totally livid that the report was done in a way to exonerate PSG from wrong doing

When Leterme effectively put our report through you can bet that José Narciso da Cunha Rodrigues was not going to allow another high profile club get off with it.

This is just food for thought and a conspiracy theory - what if because of PSG and the Qatari owners getting away scot free, that we were offered up on a plate as which to punish ?

We know that the smear campaign has the hands of Qatari involvement along with others involved
