PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

This may be worth a listen - me v Nick Harris on the excellent Unofficial Partner podcast...

Good work. How many times have you explained this settlement thing to Harris now? :)

Thank you Sir, a very enjoyable hour and I know a little more, Mr Harris appeared to be out of his depth on several occasions.

I'll give it a listen anything that makes Harris look stupid is alright with me.

The email he is referring to was a post CAS leak. It is the one that breaks down the deal into its part.

And put nicely into context by you.

Hi Stefan

I have to say you once again came across so well knowledgeable and insigghtful as for Harris the tired old cliches such as "Why didnt City appeal the settlement in 2014?" showing his complete lack of knowledge as to what the term settlement means. Also when he stated as fact that "it was unusual City appointed 2 members at CAS" not understanding that both UEFA and City had to put forward a name each from a prescribed list and then crucually both agree a 3rd

The fact you did most of the talking made this a very easy and useful listen congratulations

Yep, there was a bit of schooling going on in the last half-hour.

wasnt the settlement when Khaldoon said we'll take a pinch this time

£100 million a year from Etihad will get some piss boiling and probably why the Premier League are trying to change the rules on related parties. If you look at it Etihad are getting very good exposure from their association from the club, they are posting record profits so why can’t they throw some extra money City’s way in sponsorships.

One things for sure after just listening to that podcast is Stefan knows his onions.

Yep, after the event iirc. But he also apparently said he would pay 30 million on legal fees of the 50 best lawyers in the world to defend the case, presumably as a motivation for UEFA to settle.

That particular email in his article was one of the post CAS leaks

Stefan is there anything of particualr significance in that email that would cause problems or was not already included in some of the ones which were actually seen by CAS ? Thanks Scoobz
