That's the thing, the cartel don't have to win in court. They are already winning the media war and winning it quite convincingly. We won at CAS but you wouldn't think so, the way it has been portrayed in the media. Clubs will quite happily put pressure on UEFA to take this further, because even if they know they are unlikely to win the appeal, it drags this whole thing out for another year or two, basically leaving the club under the same dark cloud we have been under for the past two seasons. They are portrayed as the good guys, City the baddies/cheats. They win, even when they lose and unfortunately, it looks like we lose, even when we win.
