In that case, couldn’t we just have proved that during this investigation (or even before it got to that) to nip all this in the bud?

Maybe it was part of the 200 page document that they didn't bother reading?

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.

Btw, separate subject; but Ornstein from the Athletic has repeatedly said that according to his source this will be Pep’s last season. Total click bait nonsense.

Read the thread and you’ll find what you are looking for.

We weren't given the chance and I suspect we were never going to be listened to anyway. We submitted a large dossier of evidence to support our case but it wasn't read before the case went to the AC. We have subsequently never been asked to appear before the AC to make our case.

It's really like a Stalinist show trial. The outcome was known in advance.

I thought HH was Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed? Whatever, it's certainly not Sheikh Mansour and the emails said HH would "arrange" the extra funding. That funding comes from Abu Dhabi, probably the Executive Council, not ADUG so it's not owner investment.

What I assume has happened is that all the due monies were sent to ADUG for onward transmission to City and that Soriano's request to Pearce to have these split out is precisely because they need to ensure we avoid accusations of equity funds being mixed up with partnership revenue. Which is exactly what I'd expect from an organisation trying to ensure everything was whiter than white.

H.H.: His Highness - i.e. he is royal. H.E.: His excellency - i.e. he is or has been a senior government appointee. So HH could be anyone of the brothers in the royal family.

Lots of conspiracy theorys and ifs and buts. But i wonder if uefa we scared or put under massive pressure from la liga after the latest messi rumours??? Easiest way to defo stop him moving here would be to ban us from europe messi wouldnt sign for a club not playing in europe.

theories.

So we were punished for not cooperating with the investigation, but we weren't asked to cooperate with the investigation? Seems fair.

I always thought HH was helly Hansen?
And I'm out of here.

Good night fellow blues x

Agree completely with your last sentence, but didn’t UEFA say we’d failed to co-operate too? Something doesn’t add up.
