subliminal hypnosis, very good try! but Only an idiot would fall for it.

ps.
I’ve messaged you my bank details and password, and look forward to receiving my £1,000,000.

That's obviously not common knowledge, so will be hitting the media/press in 3:2: ......

“Snubbed!”

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

That would make it worse, why would City still be letting it be reported he had? Surely it would undermine whoever had taken the brief, why would City hold that information to themselves?

Anyhow, hopefully it is just a rumour as the OP states.

The counter argument to that is why would City maybe wish to telegraph their counsel, who does it serve anyhow, outside of some gossip in the trade press and on here?

General point 2: City will now have the seen the written submissions of UEFA and vice versa. Both sides now have a good idea of merits on all points and can evaluate how CAS may read them

what? How can he “not take the brief” one day before the case starts?

This is so Old City

In that case, would someone like Pannick still be willing to go into bat (if the submissions of Uefa are not a good look for us) or more likely, there would be advisement from our counsel to settle before tomorrow.

Does bluffing and bartering really go on right until the moment a judge sits?

Obviously, on the flip side, Uefa will now have a fair idea where they stand (they are more constrained by the lobbying from other clubs)

Its public knowledge (for those that can join the dots) that I settled a £640m claim on a Saturday night before the commencement of a trial at the High Court on the Monday morning. Cases settle during trials. Cases settle after trials but before judgements. Cases settle even after judgements but before appeals.

TH, having worked for a solicitor previously you would not believe the amount of times things get settled on the court steps

I'm pretty sure UEFA would happily take a one year ban - if we really thought we were likely to lose, I think we would take it.

“ We will take a pinch now “ was what Khaldoon said but as we know the anti Abu Dhabi hate campaign has continued and gained pace.
We also know saving face is at the top of our priorities .
The steely look in his eyes at that time and since says it all for me.
We were hung out to dry by EUFA when they moved the goal posts back then to appease G14.
As KAM said back in the day “ all we want to do is dine with others at the top table but the door remains shut”.

Institutional racism and pure aristocratic greed is at the root of all of this.

Every dog has its day and this is ours , so watch out some of you “Bent Bastards”

Think of Pannick as your best centre forward and you are approaching one of the biggest games of the season, playing your local rivals away
The forward goes and cracks a couple of ribs in a taxi accident three days before the game

What hope have you got of winning!!

We beat Chelsea away in the 2017/18 season days after Aguero was involved in that crash in Amsterdam. Fingers crossed for a similar result.
