After the fiasco of the last process and UEFA examining our books and giving us the okay to them suddenly changing the rules to catch us - I think the club has no faith in UEFA or their dodgy processes. The news this time that we were escaping a ban has clearly resulted in some of our enemies having a tantrum and demanding this heavy punishment. I honestly think City have given UEFA nothing and are waiting for the CAS (and hopefully other hearings re compensation) to unleash what they have and put a death nail into that corrupt dodgy organisation.

Well sooner or later someone was going to take down this corrupt shit stain of an organisation, it may as well be US.

Thanks for the free consultation Doctor.Will it hurt or sting a little and would consider taking aspirin for any slight discomfort ?

All the above, but you have my guarantee it will swell up lol.

Hello Sid.
My understanding from a podcast I've just listened to is as follows:
It seems that the ruling on the details of the judgement and our defence is down to the CAS, and CAS alone and there is no further appeal beyond CAS ( fits in with an earlier posting by @Tricky_Trev ).
However as I understood it if City are unhappy with result of the CAS appeal ruling they could ( under the 'public policy' grounds) appeal to the Swiss Federal Court that FFP is illegal in which case the UEFA ruling against City would become null and void.
This seems to fit in with City's pronouncements that we are going to fight this all way, because if the appeal process ended with CAS then City would not be able to pursue matters further.
One other thing - the lawyer on the podcast reckoned it could be about 15 months before the result of the CAS appeal was known.
As I say I'm not a lawyer, this is my understanding.
Hopefully all will become clear in the coming days.

What podcast is this info from?

Yes, I think it’s probably a bit fanciful, and perhaps not really helpful, to think that we’re completely innocent here. There has undoubtedly been some creative accounting going on, but then find me a major corporation that doesn’t. Google, Amazon, Manchester fucking United, they’re all at it. It’s just absurd that we operate in perhaps the only industry in the world where it’s deemed more of a crime to invest in your company, rather than avoiding paying tax out of it. Mad world.

Spot on Ric,

We have done something here that perhaps we should not, which is where my initial conversation on if true the option of a slap on the wrist could have been the sensible one.

You are correct and truth of the matter is United might have done something wrong or not, it seems accepted they can hide there accounts. Still think those PIK loans the Glazers had one minute and then where suddenly paid of with no explanation happened at a very similar time to the restructure. If are accounts where hidden in such away I’m sure it would be seen very differently.

I have no issue with the club being creative and as you say it is common place the companies to do this.

Not sure how it will play out, but our season might end up more interesting off the field then it is on it.

If we have the evidence, won't we have already presented it to UEFA? In which case they have either ignored it or don't believe it. Or has the punishment been handed down without us having the opportunity to present our defence?

The club said in a statement, when it was passed from the investigative chamber to the adjudication chamber, in huge hast due to the pending 5year deadline expiring, that the investigative chamber had not considered the club’s 200page document. It was at this point after the NY Times article that the club accused UEFA of breaking the strict confidentiality agreement, in particular the chief investigator Leterme

He's the only name I recognise on the list. He was the guy who went after Lance Armstrong at WADA.
