I am kindof ambivolent about it now.
From a purely ethical point of view, I am hoping it's thrown out since the whole thing was so obviously ill-intentioned and corrupt.
But that said, City have been penalised and whereas we can debate the extent of the damage, the penalties (and indeed the restrictions themselves before we have been sanctioned) have certainly held us back. I find it difficult to imagine that we would not now be in an even better place had FFP never existed. Doubtless I am sure, we would have signed a few players we've missed out on, and we may very well have done better in the CL by now.
It will really irk me if those same restrictions are now about to bite on other clubs (Liverpool, Milan etc) and then they are thrown out.
On balance I think I am probably erring on the side of hoping DuPont loses. That said, any implied vindication of Twatini and his henchmen would be hard to take as well. It's a toughie.
