I think that’s everyone’s concern. The trouble is we don’t know how City’s “non-cooperation” at the IC stage manifested itself. Did we produce our fully audited accounts? Did we produce other credible evidence to undermine the content of those emails? Part of me thinks we must have done - which wouldn’t be good news as it would mean they saw our evidence, weren’t convinced by it, and ruled against us anyway - if only to head the potential for disaster off at the earliest opportunity, but equally I suppose it could be that we decided we would never get a fair hearing out of UEFA regardless and decided to put our faith in CAS instead. I’d need @projectriver to confirm what’s likely and what isn’t though.....
I'd work on the basis we put forward our clearest evidence as opposed to taking the petulant (and highly risky), "we will see you at CAS" approach. Somehow (and hopefully we find out in a judgment) the AC got themselves comfortable in getting over our evidence.
