He used the office and his position as Mayor Greater Manchester to lobby the PL is support of a company not in Greater Manchester I have requested from the combined authority and explanation of the abuse of the office They have 3 more days in which to replyWhich makes it more bizarre why the mayor of Mcr writes a letter in support of Everton to the Pl and not City

Maybe no letters but I know for sure that the club have been in contact with the BBC because I was told that they have to be careful what is said about the case by the 606 producerLet's face it, there were zero letters sent out.
Doubt there will be anything of the sort,
ever.
The club will just issue a statement, and move on.
Sky presenters will still put innocent under quotation marks, other media people will continue to talk about technicalities, 'lifted bans' despite being dound guilty by uefa, and spin it whichever way it works for them. The average fan will think whatever they want to.
The best we migbt get is Pep saying something clever from time to time, which will very quickly be talked over, and that'll be it.
And we will win some more.
I am at peace with it.

They should be careful anyway. As the national broadcaster.
Because it’s all a big fucking fib.
Well yeah, that's what I was insinuating.

I take it the case went well for City this week, given the media are now pushing the latest bullshit from a convicted criminal.
As others have said, he would have released anything else before CAS. Maybe he's hoping City try to pay him off.
Either way, City have access to everything and the club are confident we'll be cleared, so I'll continue to back them over this crank.
Agree it feelsl very much like bullshit and doubt it stands up to any basic scrutiny. For example each side we believe have already exchanged their evidence pre hearing, seems very unlikely this stuff could just magically appear and if it did City would need a lot more time to answer so would be a big further delay.I take it the case went well for City this week, given the media are now pushing the latest bullshit from a convicted criminal.

Sure our procedure experts could confirm whats allowed at this pount and how city could respond but just doesn't seem to at all stack up

I think it will be a points deduction for non cooperation as it's been set up for this. Have a look at the Everton case, they were originally found guilt of non cooperation when they were hit with the 10 point deduction and the only reason it was reduced to 6 points on appeal was that the verdict on the non cooperation bit wasn't legally sound as apparently Everton weren't orginally charged with it (fuck knows why). So it looks to me like it's a 4 point deductionHow can that be determined when the hearing is still months away? This can only be someone's opinion, might be a valid one but that's as much as its is. With respect to the points deduction for non-cooperation I somewhat doubt the club will accept that, in fact Khaldoon has said in the past we wont take a "pinch" again and to offer the PL away out, why? In point of fact any punishment will be decided by the judges and the only way out for the PL would be to drop the charges

Not a lawyer but believe illegally obtained material is unusable in a court, but City have not been to court. The real question is, is the material strong enough evidence to start the UEFA investigation, or the PL investigation. Personally i always thought it was highly suggestive but not proof. As for Pinto, if he were selling, do you not think he would have sold something more valuable, the first time?I wonder what the legal situation is regarding evidence obtained illegally. Is there a difference between investigating on the basis of information made public, and actively co-operating with a convicted extortionist to gain access to hacked material? You would think there would be, if that is what the PL have done as Pinto claimed.
But I get most things wrong on the legal side of things, so who knows? :)
For me this is the press, trying to make up for the massive own goal, when they published `City to sue` as the 115 panel will have to reassess the independence of the investigation. The Government too will be very interested.
You do sound a bit of a fannyThere is no point of personal insult. Your view differ from my view, that doesn't make me a total idiot. Does it?
Pinto is a professional hacker mate, IT security will not stop a decent hacker, much the same way as no car security system will stop a professional car thiefAll of this shite is because the club had effectively no security on its IT systems and they didn't think 'what if some thick **** clicks on a link'.
