PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

If I recall both city and eufa got to pick a panel member and the chairman either had to be agreed by both parties or was selected independently

Yes, City said we'd be happy with this particular guy as he was part of the previous process and knows the subject(?) and UEFA agreed that he'd be a good choice.

Of course that means that we did pick 2 of the 3 technically, which is enough for social media & the msm to roll out the "fact" as evidence of corruption. Actually thinking it through is unnecessary in their eyes.

We didn't pick 2 from 3. We suggested the chair from the list. UEFA had no objection IF the CAS Court Office went with him. The CAS Court Office then picked him. At no point did City have any power to pick or select the Chair.

Conspiracy Theories and Innuendo will not prove the alleged Manchester City Conspiracy

There will be no Super Sub for cogent evidence

a great read that puts pretty much everything in perspective, it also sets out the burden of proof required to find City guilty of these egregious crimes.

A guilty verdict would basically be saying to multiple multinational organisations, multiple respected auditors, the sovereign state of Abu Dhabi and very high profile members of royalty, “you’re a bunch of liars and have been participants in a complex fraud for over a decade”. That’s what this independent commission will be doing if it finds City guilty. Good luck with that one!

one question, when we will hear the outcome from the High Court on City’s case with regards the validity of the EPL process and the Arsenal fan in charge of the IC and his perceived objectivity? i assume the IC can’t sit until the High Court have ruled ?

There's a finite list of approved arbitrators (about 60 I think) and a subset of those that were best qualified to adjudicate in our particular case (let's say 20). So the panel could only come from that 20-person pool. And two of those had already been picked, one by us and the other by UEFA.

The process was that someone had to suggest a name, with the other party having the right to veto that choice. Had UEFA vetoed our choice of Rui Botica Santos, and had both parties failed to agree on another choice, then CAS would have selected a chair.

Its like going out for a meal with your mates or wife.
You: "Do you fancy Indian, Italian or Chinese?"
Wife: "I fancy a Chinese."
You "I'm fine with that".

Then afterwards you complain that your arm was twisted, you didn't want Chinese and you'd rather have gone for a pizza.

I doubt that story is even true

I feel like you mentioned it when it first broke, is/was all of this supposed to be done behind closed doors so to speak?

Will we actually get anymore official information on it now until it’s resolved?

I imagine we’ll have the usual leaks.
