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

I see I’ve come in for some fair abuse on here for an apparently stupid comment.


However, let me just explain why I’m concerned. Reading the 2000 plus pages on here has given me the assurance that City are on safe grounds and will win the case. Ranging from, UEFA didn’t even look at our defence to proof that the Etihad sponsorship was clearly paid by the Executive Council from Abu Dhabi and not from our owners.


The lawyer we hired is famous for a technicality in fighting Brexit. So while I’m as concerned as everyone else here on the outcome, I’m merely questioning the need for this kind of approach for our case. Obviously I don’t want the shittiest lawyers but just asking why we really have to get the best at 20k if we’re sure of our case?

He ain’t on 20k a day!

It's the same as everything else. If Pep is so good, does he really need world class players to win titles? If our case is so strong, do we really need the best lawyer to win? The fact that is it doesn't matter how strong our case is based on facts, we still need someone package those facts into a presentable format where the opposition can't pick holes in it. That would be amateurish wouldn't it? Having everything to win it, but fucking up the case because our lawyer bottled it.

Do you read this left to right? Right to left? Upside down?

Do you need an enigma machine to decode it?

What a fucking awful platform twitter is.

This truly is one of the best posts in all 2100 pages

Anyone beating this post shall be henceforth called doing a Seaford.

Having to hire the best lawyer in the business does set off a few alarm bells for me. If we’re so sure of our defence, why do we need a clever lawyer to present it?

Genuinely the best post I've seen on Bluemoon for quite a while.

Can individual posts get put into the classic threads forum?
