My worry is that the UEFA AC is independent & the Chairman - José da Cunha Rodrigues - is also independent yet has decided to condone this decision on our actions! Why then, are some people so sure we’ll convince CAS otherwise?

I‘m not convinced, I’m hopeful. For a couple of reasons:

1) this is clearly a rush job by UEFA
2) City are adamant and I can’t believe any club in world football has a more in-depth knowledge of FFP than City

That said, UEFA could have evidence that City are banged to rights and have evidence that everything we’ve submitted for years is false. I’d suggest that’s unlikely but you never know

City might be adamant but be wrong. Plenty of people who plead not guilty wind up in prison!

It's not independent if those individuals are appointed by uefa, maybe paid wages and/or expenses as well by uefa.

I'd say regarding the impeachment, Democrats look stupid as fuck to the half of their country who support Trump but the half who don't support him think the whole impeachment saga makes Trump look even more terrible because they perceive him to have avoided justice. Subsequently they despise him (even more). So to extrapolate that dynamic to our situation. If we get this overturned then I would expect all of us to think it makes UEFA look stupid as fuck but unfortunately the overwhelming majority of people who don't support City to perceive as having avoided justice and to despise us even more. It's a good comparison because I'm sure that is exactly what will happen if CAS overturn the decision. In terms of reputation, the damage is well and truly done and will now never be undone. But then our reputation was already in the mud anyway because the same forces behind all this have been chipping away for years, so it's nothing new.

I’m an independent who didn’t vote for trump and I clearly think the democrats look like stupid idiots like they have for the last 3 years.
People calling us cheats for doing nothing illegal, nothing out of bounds on the pitch, aren’t caught in doping scandals, means little to me. They can say whatever the hell they like.

I've just heard than **** Simon Jordan on the radio with Sean Custis, sports editor at Sun.

According to Jordan we have falsified broadcasting revenue for the Champions League this year.

"There's no way City can earn £88m and more than Liverpool did for winning it."

I want City to bury this twat.

The broadcasting revenue is the revenue, we don't have a say in it.

The dumb fuck chooses to ignore we got a bigger share of the pool as champions of England.

And Jordan was going on about people spouting uneducated rubbish the other day as well. Self awareness clearly not one of his strong points.

How can a former Premier League chairman not understand broadcasting revenue?
