Good question. I’ve not seen any submissions on the web site but I presume that City would have given clear reasons for the appeal. I expect that all the submitted evidence and reasons for appeal will be examined In turn and only afterwards will each item be considered on its merits to give an overall view. I suspect City would want more than UEFA’s procedures criticised and what would then be sen as getting off on a technicality alla PSG. However, that legal opinion I read pointed to this being City’s strongest case.
If it's anything like similar cases then it could be three months

Galatasaray appealed to CAS on 11 March 2016 and on 23 June 2016, CAS announced it was upholding the Adjudicatory Chamber’s decision and dismissed the appeal (https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Media_Release_4492.pdf). This is an interesting example of the possible timetable City can expect.
The Newcastle takeover is irrelevant to this. If anything, there’s talk of a relaxation of FFP rules due to the Covid-19 outbreak so Newcastle can probably go out and spend a shit load of money regardless, especially as Ashley - despite being an odious fat bastard - has got their accounts in pretty good order with regards to FFP compliance which gives them plenty of leeway to go out and spend big.
Lets hope that city are using that exact arguement for a speedy resoluton. 3 months could impact our whole preparations for the next 2 seasons and financial implications could be huge to us.Thanks for that.
So people expecting a quick decision/resolution on this are completely barking up the wrong tree?
- this could have serious implications around possible transfers (though the window might not officially open till around August anyway due to the season still going on) and we may not find out till near the start of the new season....a lot of uncertain times coming up it seems

Am I right in thinking that CAS only have the power to rule on procedural grounds, and not whether the allegations themselves were groundless? Meaning that we may well get the punishment overturned but if we want full exoneration then we’d have to go to a court of law?
Watch them put in a clause that anyone under review in the last decade will be unable to accessrelaxation of FFP rules ?
well if that is the case then city build for the next 5 years and spend big and get mbappe at any cost
Watch them put in a clause that anyone under review in the last decade will be unable to access
But somehow allow psg to do so
No. You are not correct. CAS can rule on substantive issues. Google their rules.Am I right in thinking that CAS only have the power to rule on procedural grounds, and not whether the allegations themselves were groundless?
