If UEFA win you can be certain that all details will be leaked to the media within hours. If we win I sincerely hope we do not agree to keep the information under wraps. I think us fans deserve to see everything whatever the outcome. We are the paying customers.
If we introduce evidence at CAS it will not be bound by confidentiality clauses. The idea that it would be is quite frankly beyond stupidnot if the evidence at CAS is bound by confidentiality clauses (I have no idea if this is the case). No good if nobody knows about it!
Sounds to fit what I've heard.
The club stated that the info provided hadn't been considered, I think.
It does sound as though the club had the 5 year deadline in mind when dropping their evidence, which may play against City.
I think these hearings are always held in private with no obligation for anyone to publicise any detailed evidence. It's not an open court case. Someone on here may know better. Either way the best outcome would be City being cleared and then holding a full disclosure press conference. We need to lance this boil.I thought I had read that we also agreed that the Press/Media should not be in attendance?
Seems the wrong move, if true, if the evidence is irrefutable to strike back as those who have sullied our reputation.
Presumably there is a deadline in the uefa rules for submitting evidence, I doubt we'd be stupid enough to go beyond any deadline.
If we pass on a 200 page dossier 1 day before the 5 year deadline for fresh charges to be brought against us is up, it's not our problem.
If we were not within a deadline UEFA would have leaked that or City may have admitted it. As it is UEFA have not said that so I doubt that is the case, their excuse will be within the ""uncooperative" part of the charge I suspect.There would be a deadline for submission we were either within that or not simple really
Think that would've been very hard seeing as the findings against us were also 11th hour.Agreed, if City have ignored the rules, then there's no hope.
I was thinking whether the club evidence could have been provided earlier than it was, or whether they held off, knowing that the IC were time-limited.

I would imagine the latter mate.
City are playing the long game so not having the press in attendance may not be a bad thing. If the long game is the case then this CAS hearing is something City have to go through to justify a court hearing. If CAS uphold the ban and fine I believe City will be heading to the European or Swiss courts and if any leaks occur before a court case, like they did with the New York Times and others, before and during IC and AC hearings then I believe the balance tips in Citys favour.I thought I had read that we also agreed that the Press/Media should not be in attendance?
