Not as confident as at CAS. I was pretty certain we would win that one.

I'm about 65/35 on this one, simply because I fail to see how the reporting of it doesn't prejudice the panel, no matter how learned or esteemed it will be.

Can only take City at their word they are pretty confident we will win again, but I don't see a home run and envisage a big fine again for non cooperation and maybe a transfer ban over a couple of windows just to limit our progression over the image rights set-up.

I trust Lord Pannick to make the difference.

Whatever the outcome, rival fans will always consider City as cheats and in their eyes there will be permanent asterisks against the trophies we have won. I would prefer this not to be the case but as you say TH the most important thing to come out of this is that City win this case. Unfortunately, our reputation is tarnished forever in most of the media and rivals fans eyes.

Not forever. The cheat jibes will go in a few years when we're cleared.

We used to hear that our owner will "get bored and leave." Remember that one? You don't hear that one much anymore.

They'll find something else to have a go at us about once all of this over.

We best sign Bellingham, Gvardiol, de Jong, Leao and a quality left back in the summer then.

If someone asked Neville where the Salford City commercial revenue ranked in League 2 against more established clubs I’d love to see how he can explain why without contradicting himself.

Commercial revenue is a result of 1) brand awareness 2) immediate visibility and 3) potential growth of both.

1) Theres not a football fan globally that is aware of united but not aware of city. EQUAL
2) City are more immediately visible than united because they have better players, play more important games and win more. CITY
3) City are growing faster than United, reaching an increasing number of people for the first time and CFG is important to that. CITY

Then you get into the unfair reasons. 4) Business is all about who you know and taking advantage of those relationships for mutual benefit and 5) Not everyone is equal at selling their own brand.

4) City is a tiny part of a massive investment strategy. Our owner and chairman are some of the most well connected people globally. They have more weight in a boardroom than a glazer does. No one outside the US has a clue or cares who he is.
Why were salford sponsored by sky sports in their early years. Why is Wrexham sponsored by TikTok. Because their owners knew people and got good business for their clubs. City is no different. CITY
5) Our Chairman is the CEO of an investment company managing $284bn in assets globally. Ed woowar who was CEO at united 2013-2021 was an accountant and investment banker that hadnt worked outside United since 2005. Who of those is more likely to have better skills or experience. CITY

There are so many logical reasons our commercial revenue is higher.

It’s been embarrassing to see Neville & his cronies mocking that with no evidence apart from “we’re man utd” & the reason their arragonce has left them trailing.

️ Former UEFA investigator Yves Leterme: “We had hard evidence against City. I'm convinced they committed fraud. Sponsor money was paid by the owner. They used an army of lawyers to obstruct us. The current PL investigation is broader than ours was.”

Think it insinuates that for the PL to save face, we will have to accept a small fine - perhaps for a small charge, even the withholding evidence bollocks again...

...However, I sincerly hope we don't and nail the bastards ondthis one... I want nothin less than to be fully exonerated and compensated!
