I think we are missing a trick here. We just need to get Nick Freeman, the Loophole Lawyer, on the case and the job's a good 'un. Afterall, he got Fergie out of the shit (or was it with the shits?) and loads of others.

Thank me later.
 
Maybe wrong but I thought CAS would be more about following the procedures , and if they rule against UEFA on procedure that’s as far as they will go. If we wanted to go further we’d have to make a claim for damages against UEFA probably in a different court. So the CAS hearing we are more concerned with overturning the decision not clearing our name , hence the ‘initial’ part of the club statement.

I think that’s correct. CAS is about the process and procedure - is it fair and reasonable ( and does it align with uefa process and procedure?) and ultimately - is the sanction a reasonable response to the findings of the investigation. So we do have a few bites of the cherry in terms of procedure and we must be very guilty of serious wrongdoing to have a sanction as severe as the one awarded upheld.
 
I get that sir, wasn’t having a pop. Honest.
I do try to be objective and wouldn’t take any outlet as guaranteed but it’s nice to see a little bit of pro City news amidst all the fucking hounds out there.

Didn't take it as a pop, pal.

We're desperate for any positive slants.

Sadly, the only positive one today came from an outlet which has basically discredited itself to the fullest extent in terms of this entire subject.

This is as severe as it comes. Missing two seasons of European football and a £30m fine will cost us £200m+.
