[gocity]

It's been confirmed by trusted people who do have contacts, if you want an actual video recording then dream on.

And the press haven:t got hold of it?

Can City use the press and media pile on and indirectly putting pressure on the panel to influence them as evidence City are treated differently to offer clubs ?

no... they could if the panel or jury comprised lay people, but judges, tribunal chairman and there professionals are considered to be above all the hysterical white noise

Maybe the settlement is about 'not cooporating' with investigation.

As I've said in the post you've quoted. We're not admitting to any wrongdoing.

 

[supercity88]

We actually did,how have you come to the conclusion we didn't ?
This is what we have had to endure throughout this period, people like you ,who cannot or will not, read the judgment as written by the commission and then put their own interpretation on it.
Read the report,13 times the words no evidence was used in relation to the uefa chargeses.

I think the original poster meant that at CAS rather than us prove we were not guilty, UEFA failed to prove we were. But at CAS they were an arbitrator so both parties present all evidence to support their position and the ruling was in our favour.

And it should be the same with the independent panel.

No wouldn't dream of conributing to that paper, they say we are guilty, do you believe that?

And if the BBC could get any worse with its constant insinuations and lies about City they are now trying to defend the theiving Portugese piece of shit for "morally saving" football. Where were the BBC morals regarding Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards? Oh yes, they were swept under the carpet.

Anyhow, here's the article



Man City case 'moral reward' for Football Leaks hacker, lawyer claims - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c74852evz50o

Complaint to Home of Roan Incoming

"Man City case 'moral reward' for Football Leaks hacker, lawyer claims".

The above headline echoes the purpose of this article, which is clearly intended to defend a convicted extortionist whose corrupted evidence was comprehensively exposed by CAS two years ago after it was misused by UEFA to charge Manchester City with sponsorship wrongdoing under pressure from its elite rivals . Those same teams now control the Premier League, forcing it to repeat their earlier failed attempt to damage City using the identical doctored emails and once again relying on the full-throated support of your Sports Editor Dan Roan to endorse their blatantly racist, anti-arab media narratives. This outrageous piece is just the latest example of Roan's many attempts to smear the club following his permanent banning by them in 2012 for lying about Patrick Vieira.*
Over the years he has abused his position by enthusiastically promoting every element of the redshirt cartel's relentless anti-City propaganda campaign as it moved from 'state ownership' to 'financial doping' to 'sportswashing' and now the 'dirty cheating oil club ' slur. When these current confected charges are again dismissed as baseless the BBC will surely have to answer for his conduct (and that of subordinates under his direction) in nearly a decade of disgracefully biased reporting about Man City by our national broadcaster and the reputational damage it has unjustly inflicted as a result.

Unless there are any confirmed and authenticated developments from Lord Pannick's chambers, perhaps more speculation/ guess work from esteemed posters is best avoided.

More time can then be spent observing the desperate writhing of the deluded ignoramus’s amongst our socially inadequate and cerebraly challenged detractors.

'We are Innocent Day' promises to be as memorable as any victory in our modern history.....different but very memorable !!

There wont be any leaks from his chambers, of that we can be sure

Thank you both very much.

The amounts are much bigger than I was guessing at, but not enough for the rags and others to explain why we outperform them on the pitch. that still comes down to their owners wanting to take money out rather than put it in.

For me that is what is behind the rules and the charges. it's not racism per se, it's a battle over different business models. The American owned clubs want a cosy arrangement where owning a premier League club is just a way to make a return on their investment like an NFL franchise

Which works by keeping the same clubs in the top handful of the table I suppose

There was a program the other day where a an actual court case was actually re run with word for word from the transcript re run in front of two juries.

The two juries can to different conclusions.

My point is that even if the evidence is exactly the same different panels won’t necessarily reach the same decision then you have to factor in the different jurisdictions namely the PL rulebook and UEFas then CAS operates under Swiss Law and the PL under English Law

One final point is that surely it wasn’t that City proved to a comfortable satisfaction it was surely the fact that UEFa didn’t

We really have to stop thinking that is a criminal trial with a jury. It isnt
