A 2 year ban on top of sanctions which have already been incurred for a £60m p.a sponsorship contract for stadium and shirts?
Ridiculous! Let us remember too that it was UEFA who changed their own rules and this has been documented and CAS will know this. Why have I never once read in the British football media an account of what UEFA did? Not once. And they think we are blinkered.
I am sure that city are right. However I think this is political and no one is going to do an Arab Sheikh a favour.
I know it’s ridiculous, and I think we are being punished for the (alleged) “lie” and the “attitude” in those hacked emails, rather than the amounts involved. Once you start going down the conspiracy route though, the more people that would have to be in on it, the less credible your claim becomes. There are undoubtedly those in UEFA seeking to influence opinion against us, but I’m not convinced the AC was stacked with them. I think it’s simply not going the way we anticipated - the human factor, rather than evidence and logic
