Oh, I still think City can win this. I think it's closer to 60-40 instead of the certainty some show here.Amazingly UEFA did exactly that, and after the Leicester debacle never underestimate their stupidity.

I actually am not as optimistic as most people here. I think we'll got done for some but not all charges. And I'm not referring to non-cooperation. I find it incredibly unlikely that they've dragged this on for as long as they have, and without dropping any charges, to not have high confidence some things will stick.
Scouse friends?First mistake was being friendrg with scousers?
The way to prove it would be to ask him. He might just have said, straight out, 'yep it was to hide the payment'. City would be goosed. I can't believe how unprofessional the investigation was conducted. Any half decent investigation starts with asking the person concerned. That is why I have said they are not interested in whether we are guilty or not, it was done purely to tarnish our reputation, diminish our success and get rival fans against us.Re the Mancini Al Jazira contract, the PL will need to prove that Mansour/City were paying him directly. How would they be able to do that? They have no jurisdiction to access private bank records in the UAE, even the UK government wouldn't be able to do that. And Mancini is hardly going to admit to it as he would then have to pay UK tax on the earnings.
It's the same for our owner funding sponsorship from UAE companies, it is up to the PL to prove the allegations not for City to prove they aren't true. I honestly don't see how the PL can gather enough evidence to prove that beyond reasonable doubt.
Didn't Mancini say that it was all above board and he had paid his tax on the payments.The way to prove it would be to ask him.

Itcwas done because the red shirts demanded it fir the same reasons
Great first post, mate. You’ll really brighten things up round here.I actually am not as optimistic as most people here. I think we'll got done for some but not all charges. And I'm not referring to non-cooperation. I find it incredibly unlikely that they've dragged this on for as long as they have, and without dropping any charges, to not have high confidence some things will stick.
I hope your right bit this scenario requires stuff to come out into the open from city or the panel showing the Prem in a bad way I don’t think that will happen tho Khaldoon said they would say more we have to work with the Prem so I expect just city cleared not much more if cleared maybe a few chances saying we could possibly be not guiltyI disagree.
Imagine writing how clubs have conspired, clubs lobbying & even embedded in organisations to try & stop City & yet just like on the field they’ve failed. It’s sensational the way they’ve used rules & regulations & Citys execs tiki taka’d around them all.
There is an absolute thriller to be written & would get millions of clicks. Fucking hell you can get media print giving 2 sides to Israel / Palestine but not 1 has backed City….. it’s ludicrous!!
Would be great if Martin Samuel interviewed herAnd Dineage only had to see things close up for a matter of days before deciding it wasn’t for her.

Where abouts is the kingdom, how many servants and can you hunt deer and pheasant on it ?My kingdom for one media outlet/personality to have the bollocks to ask what happens if we're innocent
