I've found a document that confirms the Etihad sponsorship was covered by the Executive Council, not ADUG. It was part of the Open Skies case brought by the US airlines against the Gulf ones (Etihad, Qatar & Emirates) and claimed that they were in receipt of huge government subsidies. As part of their defence Etihad had a presentation done for the Crown Prince, MBZ, by consultants Booz Allen.

Go to the link saying "major legal submission" and it'll open a PDF. On page 14 it says:

So there you have it. The Etihad sponsorship money, at least that money that wasn't paid from their own funds, came from the Executive Council, not ADUG.

That’s some evidence Colin. You should be on City’s legal team.

Get your facts straight. Also, FFP is one of the things we're in no danger of breaking. We're constantly controlled and checked upon by every financial regulatory body in Italy.

I'm not surprised, your club has a history of rank corruption that far outweighs this.

 

[Saddleworth2]

It's interesting, isn't it, that we know for a fact journalists read these threads yet I wonder if any will pick up on the Etihad/Executive Council email like @Prestwich_Blue.

Not if it stops them writing double spreads on who will leave. C*nts.

So are we but we are not aloud to inflate our sponsors! Ffp is a fcuking joke why can’t someone spend what they want!

Interesting find. It certainly supports the idea that the Etihad money has come from the State in order to help promote its airline. Hopefully this is an indication of that City really do have irrefutable evidence and that UEFA are in fact trying to bend their own rules to nobble us.

As was said by prominent UK lawyer Mark Stevens yesterday

Actually, there is. Uefa commissioned two reports into PSG sponsorships' fair value. The reports differed widely, especially with regard to the "world branding" sponsorship from (?) Quatar tourist board. Uefa investigatory committee decided to take the higher values and even increased them. PSG fell just within the loss limit allowed and closed the case. The adjucatory committee tried to reopen it, astonished at the IC's actions, but they could not, ruled CAS.
Oh, and the chair of the Investigatory Committee? Monsieur Leterme, of course. The fact that the PSG chairman sat on UEFA bodies was nothing to do with it, nor was the world cup. Move along, nothing to see here.

If HH always refers to one person (not Mansour) then evidence will be there. What a great way to justify it! An easy off tye record chat to say, we need it to be from Mansour but put HH just this once!

Clever! Only, there was never any need for it to come from Mansour as ADEC were the ones propping Etihad up. If this is the crux of UEFA's main beef with us, are they really that thick - once it's been explained to them - to assume HH is still Sheikh Mansour? That's some serious fucking straw clutching from UEFA if it is indeed the case!

The M.E.N might but I doubt any of the others will.

I can understand why emails suggesting that ADUG maybe funding the Etihad sponsorship have become big news so by the same token evidence that it was covered by the Abu Dhabi Executive should be newsworthy too. Unless of course the objective is to smear.

Over to you David Conn. This is your territory. If you've got any integrity you will run this.

Is such evidence relevant to the CAS enquiry? I am confused as to the scope of their investigation.
