UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[BillCarlisle]

Its clear that Der Spiegel when they analyzed the hacked emails and UEFA using DS interpretation have attributed the term His Highness to mean HH Sheikh Mansour

"The remaining 12 million GBP requirement will come from alternative sources provided by His Highness."
With just a single sentence, Pearce confirmed the accusations that his club had repeatedly, indignantly rejected: Namely, that His Highness, Sheikh Mansour, paid a portion of the sponsoring money himself!

Posters experienced in UAE protocol have confirmed that HH is ONLY ever used when referring to UAE President HH Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, other members of the royal family are only referred to as HH + name

Could be that's the "irrefutable evidence" that Khaldoon has referred to. If so, it only requires a top legal expert in UAE affairs to confirm it and the whole UEFA case would collapse. It would be an amazing balls up by UEFA if they didn't do their homework on this, but stranger things have happened.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Would you perchance put your name forward for inclusion on the CAS panel?
:)

They're all taken....

"Oh no! It's Khaldoon!"

I reckon that will come, maybe not one big statement but a series of supportive statements. Its already starting to happen.

The club will say very little utill the legals are done.

Too right!! Keep our cards close to our chest until we drop the bomb on those cünts. Give them nothing to ‘reveal/hack’.
I just hope we are going out all guns blazing against the whole lot of them from this day forward. They’ve all had it too easy for far too long. Snidey remarks, down to blatant disrespectful reporting.

Intermittent blindness, terrible affliction.

I mentioned PB's data in the comments to Syed's piece in The Times. They fuckers took it down.

Now that’s “corruption”.

For Madrid they've got the Prestwich Blue range in the club shop....

Haha. Most disappointed the wig isn’t sky blue though.

It would be priceless to hear if City get admonished by CAS, then go ahead with a court case against UEFA.
Would be lovely to put a pre-trial ‘offer’ to them.
Nah, fuck it. Take them for EVERYTHING. It’s what they want to do to us.

Be careful assuming either side are idiots. There are enough contradictions in this thread about the HH stuff. Moreover, you’d expect there to be some sort of audit trail on the sponsorship payments rather than anyone relying on the e-mails as sole evidence.

I agree. No one wants this case thrown out and City cleared more than me, but there is a level of confidence on this thread that I find hard to share.
I don’t believe UEFA are as thick as they are being made out and I don’t trust CAS.
For all the so called experts on here, it’s funny that not one poster predicted the 2 year ban.

Syed !!

Haha. I'd be chucked out of court for using bad language within 15 minutes.

But the Booz Allen presentation was leaked a few years ago and we already know the club (and presumably Abu Dhabi) policy on legitimising leaked or hacked documents.

I see the fail this morning is still presenting as fact that Sheik Mansour paid all but £8m of the Etihad sponsorship. I am assuming that this may be the irrefutable evidence that the club has. It says much that we are being banned for 2 years for a straightforward misrepresentation/mistake of fact. Surely there must be more to it than this?
