Seem to remember reading recently that City were looking to replace etihad as shirt sponsor, wonder if this fits with this as I wonder would any new deal with etihad be allowed?

The one thing I’m hanging onto is that for decades UEFA and FIFA have acted with total impunity. Their governance is a sham. Hopefully this is another example of them identifying a problem and then doing what they feel like to get the answer they want. That’s the problem with bending to exterior pressure (cartel clubs), you stop following your own governance.

Just a query (as an IT person from the days of punched cards and paper tape - for youngsters that is the 1960/70s) .........................
How do we know the 'leaked emails' haven't been 'doctored' to make us look guilty?
In the good old days I used to be able to change punch cards and paper tape by filling in the holes.
And I could change data in computer files - and I wasn't a hacker just someone knowing my way around computer systems and data storage.
Also it is so easy today to amend anything once it is on a computer.Photoshopping is a typical example.

Well to be fair, it's a disgrace that we're sponsored by a company that our owner happens to know the owners of. No other club would be allowed such close ties with a sponsor.

No the question I was asking, was allowed in as much as etihad not being directly able to fund the sponsorship as the report suggestsWell to be fair, it's a disgrace that we're sponsored by a company that our owner happens to know the owners of.

everything we do leaves a digital footprint. If it’s changed you can see that. It’s easy to change something but as far as I know impossible to hide that change from someone who knows what to look for
I think it will play out fairly quickly. Its very important to Uefa and PL too know if City can be in CL next season or not. Clubs that have a chance now on 5th and 7th places to get into CL/EL wants to know what they should prepare for in the transfer market, do they have extra CL/EL income to plan with or not.
Also for City if CAS cancels the ban we want to know early and get on with our summer plans with some huge changes on the squad after the current quite shit PL campaign.
There was one report yesterday that said Mansour is following the case and is livid about how we ended up in this shitstorm. I wonder if he means by this the responsibilty of the City board or simply he means Uefa.
He certainly is getting lot of personal bad press, 99% of (fake)news run with the story that he personally paid large part of Etihad deal to City in a tricky/cheating way.
One thing is clear Uefa would be extremely happy if CAS upholds the original punishment or even if they cut it down to half for 1 year ban and some 10m, I fear that these two options have higher chance together than cancelling out the whole thing...
And PL will quickly act if anything will stick against us at CAS.
Really hope all that confidence coming from the club will turn into a winning case for us. We want an independent body to check the case, but if CAS wont help us, we are running out of options very quickly.
Our legal team has to be top notch, really hope their emails are properly secure. On the mean time I would hire top cyber hackers to find dirt on LEterme, Ceferin and the rest. Surely we can do their dirty tricks and hurt them a lot.

I still don't understand why there's only a €30m fine, when it should be a fine plus the two thirds that was refunded to us after the last punishment
