I don't want to start another thread, but how will you feel and what will you do if we're cleared of these charges.
The length of time this has been going on and the extent of abuse and shite found in the media and social media alike, it's going to feel fucking amazing to be let off. I reckon a commemorative shirt and a bus parade are the least we could do to mark it.
City need to go full Paddy Power and take the absolute piss. 115 special edition merchandise. Claim it's celebrating an anniversary when it clearly isn't. Khaldoon and Pep sat next to Lord Pannick wearing the shirt and smoking cigars.

In my career in liability insurance I have been involved in dozens, if not hundreds of legal actions. The vast majority of these cases (probably upwards of 90%) settle before they get to court. In my experience this is down to two things. The first is the uncertainty of the outcome in a civil case and the second, and by far the biggest consideration, is the cost of litigation. It’s often much cheaper to settle a matter than have it proceed through the legal process to trial and possibly appeal.Well I hope you are correct. I wasn’t being ironic. As Stefan says, in the corporate World companies settle all the time even when they are 100% innocent because they don’t want to take the chance of wrongly being found guilty. It’s just probability theory.
Maybe if it was cash rather than points we would have taken it.
So far, it doesn’t look like either side in this matter are thinking about the uncertainty or the cost.

Start defending our club on social media over the next investigation which is duly announced 20 minutes after we're exonerated for this lot.
I’ve got a bottle of champagne in the fridge chilling waiting for the announcement.I don't want to start another thread, but how will you feel and what will you do if we're cleared of these charges.

I want a 115 ticker countdown on the screens in the ground like we did after the Agueroooo moment. The club won’t do it though.
The club should also rerelease this seasons home kit with 115 on the collar. If the snide kit manufacturers knocked them out I’d buy one.

"Ooh let's accept a 6 point deduction and be branded cheats forever more". Fuck that noise, take the corrupt bastards to the cleaners and watch them squirm out of it.

This legal circus makes a total mockery of the elite modern game. Surely, the PL will have been shown the bank statements that demonstrate that Etihad made the relevant sponsorship payments as per their contract with City. The PL will also have been given evidence that verifies the account holders for the relevant bank accounts for each transaction. Assuming that everything is in order, which must have been the case with CAS, what the fxxx are the PL up to? If this is the case, the PL are going to look more stupid that they do already. The sooner this circus is done the better.
The majority, because they had average legal counsel.Lots of innocent people are found guilty.
