not when he’s already said a 2 year ban would be a problem for him? Not exactly going to be short of suitors wanting to buy him either would he?

You seem more in the know than most.

After yesterday’s result I got to thinking, as unlikely as it might be, imagine we win the appeal and end up finishing 5th. Now that would be the Typical City to end all Typical City’s....
Of course, if it’s bad news next week, we should do everything in our power to finish 5th anyway.

But if we lose the case doesn't 5th qualify for CL? So great news.

Think there's a good chance we will still finish second even if we don't get another point.... but looking at the 5 fixtures we have left that ain't gonna happen.. not a chance

These types of comments is why I love BM, PMSL.

No garment rending here GDM, I assure you! I just don’t think it likely we could overhaul a 20 point deficit and still qualify for the CL without 2 or 3 of our best players? Do you?

Your 20 point deficit point isn’t really central to the issue of CL qualification is it? Yes, I still think we’d finish top four without those three. Just.

He's new, but it will take time for him to find his position I reckon.

As for this matter, I am sure he would have countered with "I don't agree" or something like that. I would have liked him to say "And on what basis, given UEFA's past controversies and history of failure at these hearings, plus City's accusations of UEFA misdoings in the investigation - of which CAS expressed equal concern of; the nature of the source of the initial investigation being a non-legally binding email discussion AND, of which City say they have submitted evidence to counter this said email, evidence which isn't in the public domain (or shouldn't be), do you come to this conclusion. Alan?" but more than likely he would have said "I don't agree".

Or he could have just called him a ****.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

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.

Presumably then, if we did submit our clearest evidence, the AC were unfazed by the prospect of effectively deeming our accounts fraudulent then? Or would that not have been an issue for them, and they rather made their judgment on our failure to come up with a credible explanation for the content of those emails?

I note that two of the three members of the CAS panel for the appeal, were also on the CAS panel for our initial CAS appeal (the appeal to have the leaks evidence thrown out, which was dismissed because we were still to go through the AC).

The two individuals are the German lawyer (appointed by UEFA) and the French lawyer who sounds like he’s English (first name Andrew - he was appointed by City). It’s interesting to go back and look at the transcript of that appeal. They did make some comments which were favourable to City, but ruled that they had no jurisdiction because the matter had not been finalised by the AC.

Both these guys are therefore already across quite a few of the issues in dispute.

Yeh I do, got a problem with love?

Are you calling me love, or asking me if I have a problem with love? It’s about as fucking obvious as one of Paul Hawksbys jokes
