The mans a clown if we get Of he will come up with we got away with it article!

He's pretty much hinted at it in the article, while also mentioning we are Abu Dhabi owned. Also said we have attempted to do to the legal process what we have done to football, buy the best lawyers (players and managers) to buy our way out of it. I am assuming when Liverpool were hacking our scout7 data, they had the cheapest legal team they could find to arrange a deal with City so that it wasn't released into the press. They also have never gone for the best managers and players available either, proper weird take from a weird guy.

I think we need to get used to the idea that regardless of the outcome of the case we'll be guilty in the eyes of a lot of people.

Someone like Evans has invested too much time and energy to turn around and admit he was wrong.

Really don’t care what fans of other clubs think. Just get this case won. Go from there.

Thought the Evans article was decent. Clearly getting nothing out of UEFA and he's right about how important it is and the stakes.

I've never seen this as boldly stated "Uefa have insisted from the start that their evidence is not connected with the illegally-obtained Football Leaks material." It remains a mystery what it IS connected with if not those emails.

This is also important "Although the court schedule does not allow enough time for proper, forensic cross-examination of witnesses – a factor that may suit the club – the case will be treated with proper seriousness." If UEFA can't prove their case by inference on what witnesses say, it leaves them having to prove the case on documents. As I have said many times (as has the club), how do you overcome an audited set of accounts without even having witnesses to cross examine.

From the Evans article:

There has been a cloud over City’s spending since a website called Football Leaks revealed a cache of hacked emails that contained damaging allegedly internal communications that appeared to indicate that the club had flouted FFP rules. Uefa have insisted from the start that their evidence is not connected with the illegally-obtained Football Leaks material.

So what have they got?

He mentioned it a bit back on the radio that it’s our own documentation that Uefa are going to do us on.

There’s far too many lawyers in this thread for my liking.

And not enough doctors imo. Where are they when you need them?

Seems absolutely impossible to me

How does a journo know what evidence UEFA have unless they're still leaking info?

Tony Evans has written an article in the Independent this morning, literally wanking into his socks about the prospect of City missing out. For a guy who compares anything and everything with Liverpool, be it an earthquake where thousands have died to Hillsborough, or the BLM protests to that magical night in Istanbul (he didn't actually, but you get the drift), he's doing a great job hiding that hes a scouse ****.

He did say before the original verdict that we would be getting a two year ban so he was obviously well briefed. He's a insufferable scouse phlegm chucker but he's been right before, just hope he's not right again.
