I'm no expert either, but I suspect if it really was as straightforward as that we wouldn't be where we are now.
I know, it does sound ridiculous but all I've gleaned (and I may have read it wrong of course) is that we are accused of falsifying the original 2013/14 accounts by stating income that was actually from the owner, was funnelled through Etihad airways sponsorship agreement , thus disguising owner investment as legitimate income.
But even if we did (not saying we have) and the actual money is shown exiting Etihad accounts and entering Citys then that's the ball game right there. From a legal and accountancy standpoint there is no wrongdoing. How that money got into etihad before being paid to city is a matter of no concern to uefa or anybody else. Imagine the conversation
Uefa: "Hi Etihad, can we have a look at your books please?"
Etihad: "No. Fuck off"
I agree it cannot be so simple of course but I have faith in the resolutleness of Khaldoon and Soriano in the way they have been so adamant we have done no wrong. We shall find out soon enough I suppose.
